[Aust-NZ] Incorporation of Aust-NZ chapter

Tue Apr 1 00:27:59 EDT 2008

IMO:

Cameron,

The actual responsibilities have yet to be determined, and would need to 
be one of the first responsibilities of the new board.

In short, I see that the directors would be the legal representatives of 
the organisation.

To give you an idea of the type of responsibilities of a director see:

http://www.asic.gov.au/asic/asic.nsf/byheadline/Your+company+and+the+law?openDocument 

These particular requirements are for an Australian Company and we are 
looking at establishing a not for profit company in WA. However they 
should give you an idea of your potential obligations.

Tim, can you please post a link for the WA requirements?

This raises the issue of Kiwi representation and whether a foreign 
national can be a director of an Australian organisation. I think that 
this is not an issue, but Tim has looked closer at the WA requirements.

I'm not sure where we go longer term with establishing an entity in NZ or 
if this is really required. Let's keep it simple for now as per Tim's 
earlier post on this.

HTH

Bruce,
I've pinged a couple of potential New Zealand candidates who have asked 
what obligations one would expect from an OSGeo-Aust-NZ director?

Would you like to answer this?
