LEGAL ENTITY WORKING GROUP

Marie-Nour Hechaime (Ashkal Alwan): Harvester

Molemo Moiloa (VANSA): Host

Paula Piedra (TEOR/éTica): Guardian of process-intention

The decision on Legal Entity is related mainly to AC need to distribute and receive money. Once it is defined, it can also affect some of AC self organization mechanisms. The legal entity decisions we make also are related to what we call the AC Myth (how we define ourselves inside and outside AC).

Legal Entity Working Group Guidelines are divided in two stages: research and legal entity constitution. (We can’t make guidelines for Stage 2 Legal Entity Constitution before we accomplish Stage 1: Research).

  1. Stage 1: Research

This research is to find out what is better to fulfil AC need to distribute and receive money according to our values, principles and ethics.

Guidelines for this research

  • Structure (registration option) should be the one most close to AC ethical principles

  • Place of registration/account should also be measured against ethical principles

  • Financial sustainability should be primary driver of registration decision. Eg. funder, banks/accounts, currency.

To consider for this research

We have two options: REGISTRATION or NON - REGISTRATION.

For Registration:

  • Best location

  • Least bureaucracy

  • Ease of registration

  • Ease of financials (strong currency, strong banks, cheapest)

Non-Registration:

  • Shared bank account

  • Modalities if possible

  • Once clear, decide next steps

Legal Entity affects Admin/Bank and Fundraising:

  • Documents of legal entity and bank account

  • Governance checks & balances guides

  • Communicating legal entity clearly to funders

Legal Entity affects Newsletter (TAM TAM):

  • Governance checks & balances guides

  • Communicating our Myth

Legal Entity affects Website:

  • Communicating legal entity clearly to funders

  • Communicating our Myth

2. Stage 2: Legal Entity Constitution (PENDING)
