+1 @Raoul, This an option for the NPOC and I too think that it's good to go for such a solution, What are think about, please Regards Olévié Le dim. 25 avr. 2021 à 16:40, Raoul Plommer via Npoc-discuss < npoc-discuss@icann.org> a écrit :
Dear members of NPOC,
For 2+ years we have been talking about setting up an NGO to have a legal entity that is able to collect donations and other payments for projects that NPOC is doing.
Some obvious benefits as an NGO include:
1) $10 000 Google ads money MONTHLY 2) To be able to accept donations and project funding from organisations like the PIR 3) Having a registered NGO in Estonia means we can open a bank account there and with the help of the Estonian digital citizenship (100€ per person), we can manage our account from overseas AND change signatories for it, without ever visiting Estonia after the organisation is registered.
What we need to do:
1) Finish the draft of the charter of the NGO. 2) Pay one Estonian guy 200€ for - Translation - processing our registration - becoming board member for the first term - putting his address as the address of the NGO 3) Paying for the registration of the NGO to the Estonian government (<€100) 4) Open a bank account and have two of three board members (two from NPOC EC) get the Estonian digital citizenship 5) Pay €100 for each signatory 6) Pay €100 for me to go to Estonia and sort out the final steps in a day or two.
So that's approximately 200 (Estonian guy) + 200 (two signatories) + 100 (registration fee) + 100 (My trip to Estonia) = €600 altogether
I am sure there will be questions for a big decision like this, so please, let it rain! I'll try to answer them all, best to my knowledge. :)
