Hi,<br>
<br>
So it is an option?<br>
<br>
A SOAC can become one<br>
Or set up a shadow puppet.<br>
<br>
And each would be free to pick its own way of doing it.<br>
<br>
Also regarding the GAC, is it correct to assume that since they do
not (s)elect a director, they would not really need a UA if they did
not wish, as their special status is guaranteed elsewhere in the
bylaws.<br>
<br>
Also is it correct to assume that we have now almost 'decided' that
UA are at the level of SOAC. The reference to IPC as a UA confused
me. Is that stiill a possiblity that SGs and RALOs might become UAs
as well if they wished. <br>
<br>
Finally with regard to becoming UA, I suppose any ICANN component
entity, at any level, could become one today if they wished, no
bylaw prevents it as far as I know. Is that correct?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>

fact that for certain SOACs, some or all of the current
"members" may not want or be able to be members of a legal
entity, much less one located outside their home
jurisdiction. Probably not a problem for IPC (which is only a
piece of a SOAC, but the one I'm best positioned to speak
to). More of a problem for GAC and ccNSO.</div>

disagree with your contention that each SO/ACs
would need to become an unincorporated
association ("UA") rather than merely create
one. Admittedly, the issue of how each SO/AC
can control its "alter ego" has not been fully
fleshed out. However, I believe this was
discussed at some length on the legal sub team
call and it seems that between the bylaws of the
UA and the charter of the SO/AC there should be
very tight control by the SO/AC over any actions
of the UA.</font></span></div>

<br>
</span> As a non-member of the legal sub-team, I am
curuious, why wouldn't one of the SOAC want to just become
an UA instead of creating an additional entity? What are
the legal disadvantages of transforming into an UA? As
opposed to being on.<br>
<br>
Or has this already been documented in one of the many
docs and I just missed it? <br>
