I can work on opening a bank account. I think I can find the tax ID number online; will let you know if I can't.
In terms of policy, account signers should be president and treasurer, with their actions further detailed by policy. In essence some things can *only* be authorized by the board while smaller transactions can be delegated. Separation of responsibilities is important here. One effective model has one person ordering the transaction and another person carrying it out. We will probably want at least one US-based board member as an account signer when neither the president nor the treasurer are based in the US. Since I'm opening the account I can be that person. I agree to operate at the direction of the board, and at the direction of the president and/or treasurer per policy. > On Mar 6, 2017, at 12:04 PM, Shani Evenstein <shani.e...@gmail.com> wrote: > > So you'll be coming to Berlin after all?? :-) > > >> On 6 Mar 2017 22:02, "James Heilman" <jmh...@gmail.com> wrote: >> 1) Yes will need a US account. >> >> 2) This is movement strategy (we should of course take into account movement >> strategy as we determine our own strategy and hopefully our strategy will be >> partly reflected by the movement one). >> >> J >> >>> On Mon, Mar 6, 2017 at 9:17 AM, Shani Evenstein <shani.e...@gmail.com> >>> wrote: >>> Thanks for the update, James. >>> 1 - Does this mean we need to consider a US account?
