Yes - legal papers can be validly served on PO Box (at least that is what local legal counsel informed me) > > The thing is, if we accept the PO Box, we are replacing the EVG's > standards for validating business physical existence with the standards > of the Post Offices of various Middle Eastern countries.

We still validate business physical existence, the issue is that documentation of what it is described as, ties back to a moniker which is specifically restricted in the EVG. So I can go to the address, I can verify that the company exists, but when I describe where that is - all official documentation is using a PO Box to describe it, which is something that EVG says no can do. I myself can say that its XYZ descriptor - but that is not what is on the official documentation, the PO Box is. Do you see the challenge I am trying to illuminate? > > Gerv > -- Scott Rea, MSc, CISSP Ph# (801) 874-4114 _______________________________________________ Public mailing list [email protected] https://cabforum.org/mailman/listinfo/public
