A quick clarification:

NCSG has no bank account and no funds.
NCUC has a bank account (privately held for the reasons previously outlined)
NPOC has a bank account (privately held for the reasons previously outlined)
NCSG has no authority at any level over the finances of NCUC and NPOC.

The suggestion that each new treasurer (in NCUC & NPOC) set up an account
means that it is either a private account handling constituency group funds,
or it is an unincorporated entity account, depending on jurisdiction.
The "new account transfer" problem remains whenever there is a new 
treasurer.

Fund raising is a separate issue, and for us the most fruitful short 
term strategy
is probably to partner with like minded groups for joint events where 
outside
support is either in kind, or administered by others with procedures in 
place.

Once ICANN is post IANA transition, there may be reasons to open up a
discussion of targeted fund raising, but now is not a good time for that 
discussion.
