As I read the requirements from here |
15 |
http://www.nmprc.state.nm.us/corporations/pdf/charter/dnp.pdf |
16 |
|
17 |
Article Four: A New Mexico corporation must continually maintain a |
18 |
registered agent and registered office address. |
19 |
.... |
20 |
(2) Enter the name of the registered agent, who must be located at the |
21 |
registered office address. |
22 |

We don't need offices per say, as a registered office address. Which the |
25 |
registered agents address must be the same. Any registered agent we |
26 |
retain, will therefore be the registered office location for the Gentoo |
27 |
Foundation. |
28 |
|
29 |
The By Laws could be implying that, but do not clearly state that. So we |
30 |
should likely update them. To reflect that the Gentoo Foundation does |
31 |
not have official offices, just a registered address to meet legal |
32 |
requirements. No implication of Gentoo officials meeting at the offices |
33 |
or conducting any business at that location or others. |
34 |
|
35 |
Also maybe that the address might change as we change registered agents. |
36 |
But any legal filings will have to be updated to reflect that. So not |
37 |
sure the by laws need to spell out that aspect. |
