Opening the account itself is not the problem. The complexity falls in defining who is responsible of the money and the accountancy. What makes sense is probably to have a local bank account for zero-small commissions on money transfers of registration and sponsorship within Spain (also Europe but rates go higher), and to pay travel/accomodation expenses and petty cash. And having the Foundation US account for the rest. At the end of GUADEC the money remaining in the local account is transferred to the US account, we close the account and end of story. Maybe this bank account could belong to the Vilanova council or university, so we don't fall as individuals of getting a tax warning or something for having a bank account on your name of thousends of euros moving here and there. Or GNOME Hispano, a constitued organisation. I don't know the tax/accountancy implications of this. -- Quim Gil - http://desdeamericaconamor.org
