[CCWG-ACCT] Legal question

[Greg Shatan]

Avri,

This has to do with the 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.
