Hi Bill, All, I note a distinct lack of responses from the Caribbean, so I thought I’d add one from the FWI.
Looking at the requirements in the Caribbean, you will note that it is indeed onerous *and* sometimes expensive. In Martinique for example, there are a number of forms to fill, a physical visit to the authorities and a modest cost, plus all of the legal obligations, annual declarations, taxes, etc. that having a business (even sole proprietor) entails. Allowing individuals to have resources, to me, seems to be inline with the very premise of the Internet. Although, I acknowledge the negatives that that brings. — My best/Cordialement, Matthew Cowen I write a newsletter<https://matthewcowen.org/categories/newsletter/> about the digital world. No pressure, only if you’re interested.

Hi David, If there are ARIN-region jurisdictions where the necessary paperwork for a sole proprietorship is costly or onerous, the draft's author and proponents have not yet identified any of them. Unless I missed a post somewhere?
