[bc-gnso] Corrections to BC Response on Charter comments General Counsel duties

[Steve DelBianco]

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:

First, Jimson edited the sentence on page 3 regarding BC outreach events:
Original:
• BC Outreach support for and speaking at the AfiCTA Summit and the Asia - Oceania Computing Industry Organisation (ASOCIO) events in Asia

To be revised to:
• BC Outreach support for and speaking at the AfiCTA Summits in Africa and the Asia - Oceania Computing Industry Organisation (ASOCIO) events in Asia.

Second, Jimson added this section on the Charter, regarding duties of our General Counsel:

2.5.5 The General Counsel is empowered to:
a. Incorporate the BC as a non-profit entity in the District of Columbia;
b. Process and forward the BC’s postal mail;
c. Register and secure an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for the BC;
d. File and sign the BC’s applicable tax returns;
e. Utilize his/her registered address to facilitate his/her duties herein.

Since a number of these functions have already been implemented and are not recurring, can we reframe as follows:

a. Maintain a continuous incorporation of the "The ICANN GNSO 'Business Constituency' LLC" in the District of Columbia
b. Maintain the BC's postal mail
c. Maintain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for the BC
d. ok
e. ok
