I believe that we decided on Monday afternoon for out F2F. Thursday departure seems too early unless we have definitively decided there will be NO stakeholder interviews or wrap-up meeting on Thursday (which I do not recall happeneing). Alan At 22/08/2013 08:01 AM, Carlos Raúl G. wrote:
Dear ATRT2,
I don't remember exactly but I thought we said saturday Nov 16 for the last F2F in Buenos Aires? That would requiere us to arrive at least on Nov 15.

W-8BEN Forms and W-9 Forms
The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires U.S. based organizations to obtain a completed Form W-9 or Form W-8BEN from every individual or organization that receives a payment and is not categorized as an âemployee.â
To ensure we are in compliance, we are requesting the forms as part of the payment process as we begin our new fiscal year. A Form W-8BEN is required annually and the Form W-9 is required once every three years.
All completed forms are kept on file at ICANNâs offices and are only produced for an audit in order to demonstrate compliance with the law.
All U.S. based individuals and organizations should complete the Form W-9. If you carry a U.S. Passport or reside in the United States you are considered âU.S. basedâ. All others should complete the Form W-8BEN.
Work performed in the United States may be subject to income tax reporting and withholding.
U.S. based persons/organizations with a Form W-9 on file would not be subject to federal income tax withholding and would receive an IRS Form 1099-MISC at the end of year.
Non-US Based persons who submit a Form W-8BEN will have the appropriate federal income taxes withheld for work performed while in the United States. Tax withholding will be based on the respective Tax Treaties. No taxes will be withheld if the work is performed outside the U.S.
Expense Reimbursements are not subject to tax withholding for either U.S. or Non-US persons provided the proper substantiation (receipts) are provided.
Please contact your tax advisor with any questions regarding your personal situation, and please feel free to contact <mailto:AccountsPayable@icann.org>AccountsPayable@icann.org if any additional information is needed.
Questions on how to fill out the forms? - Instructions for <http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/iw9.pdf>W-9 Form - Instructions for <http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/iw8ben.pdf>W-8BEN Form
We look forward to working with you and please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.
