That's fine, but if there is likely to be any delay, why not just set up a bank account and company limited by guarantee for marketing? It can be done tomorrow - just have the Lead and Co-lead as the CEO and company secretary and as signatories to a bank account and get started. When the main decisions are clear about a foundation there is no reason why the company can not be dissolved after transferring its assets to the foundation. -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMS Ltd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
