Hi everyone

Tobias Schonwetter, as mentioned in an email last week, has put together a really helpful document about what type of legal vehicle should be used for the proposed SA Chapter.  This document, which I've attached here,  outlines the considerations taken in drafting this opinion.  Tobias (with the support of Chetty Law) suggest that we go with a Section 21 company.

Thank you so much to Tobias for this document; it is really helpful and outlines very clearly the issues for everyone. 
Please note that Tobias alludes to the 'financial services sector' in the document, as within the discussion during  the kickoff workshop, it was mentioned by myself and Achal that we had had an indication of initial interest from this sector about the Chapter.

Please can we all consider the attached document.  I would like to suggest that its open for discussion and debate until Thursday, 2nd September, following which a final decision will be taken about the legal vehicle. 

So if you have concerns or opinions, please voice them between now and Thurs. 

Regards

Kerryn
