<div>BC members — Jimson, our vice chair for finance and administration, made 2 corrections yesterday to the BC response to charter comments. I will re-send the attached docs to ICANN staff. Below is the explanation of the corrections:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>First, Jimson edited the sentence on page 3 regarding BC outreach events:</div>
</div>
<span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION">
<div>Original: </div>
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px; border:none; padding:0px;">
<div>• BC Outreach support for and speaking at the AfiCTA Summit and the Asia - Oceania Computing Industry Organisation (ASOCIO) events in Asia</div>
<div> </div>
</blockquote>
<div>To be revised to:</div>
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px; border:none; padding:0px;">
<div>• BC Outreach support for and speaking at the AfiCTA Summit<strong>s in Africa</strong> and the Asia - Oceania Computing Industry Organisation (ASOCIO) events in Asia.</div>
</blockquote>
<div> </div>
<div>Second, Jimson added this section on the Charter, regarding duties of our General Counsel:</div>
</span>
<div><br>
</div>
<span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION">
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px; border:none; padding:0px;">
<div>2.5.5 The General Counsel is empowered to: </div>
</blockquote>
</span><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION">
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px; border:none; padding:0px;">
<div>a. Incorporate the BC as a non-profit entity in the District of Columbia; </div>
</blockquote>
</span><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION">
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px; border:none; padding:0px;">
<div>b. Process and forward the BC’s postal mail; </div>
</blockquote>
</span><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION">
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px; border:none; padding:0px;">
<div>c. Register and secure an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for the BC; </div>
</blockquote>
</span><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION">
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px; border:none; padding:0px;">
<div>d. File and sign the BC’s applicable tax returns; </div>
</blockquote>
</span><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION">
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px; border:none; padding:0px;">
<div>e. Utilize his/her registered address to facilitate his/her duties herein.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Since a number of these functions <b>have already been implemented </b>and are not recurring, can we reframe as follows:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><b>a. Maintain a continuous incorporation of the "The ICANN GNSO 'Business Constituency' LLC" in the District of Columbia</b></div>
<div><b>b. Maintain the BC's postal mail</b></div>
<div><b>c. Maintain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for the BC</b></div>
<div>d. ok</div>
<div>e. ok</div>
<div> </div>
