Hi Sam, Could you consider the strategy of each new Treasurer to set up an account that is convenient in his or her circumstances (travel, citizenship, local banking laws, etc.) and that as soon as that new account is ready to accept funds, all the money in the old account is transferred to the new one? This means that there is no longer the requirement of an "eternal" account in the name of NCSG where control of that account is transferred, which as you point out has some big issues if someone distant takes over the responsibilities of Treasurer. In the absence of any bylaws or formation documents that preclude this approach, it seems to me that the NCSG process that selects the Treasurer could also approve this method of conducting the Treasurer's business. -ron
