So, as I see it, we can choose scenario C which includes this bureaucratic work, as well as many other pieces of bureaucratic work, or we can choose scenario O in which all this work was done ten years ago. Brian Karl Auerbach wrote: On Wed, 22 Sep 2004, Gene Gaines wrote: ISOC is non-profit,

I think that this (scenario 0) is the right approach to follow. It appears to me to be the lowest risk path consistent with the needs that have been identified. Two minor comments: 1) The references to the IASF bank account should probably be relaxed to IASF fund accounts or IASF accounts.
