Please take into account, that said ownership would include being the billing contact, and furthermore, that occasionally this would include a transfer of macronational contract across the borders of continents.

> Other organisations somehow manage to pass on formal property when they re-elect their leadership, without having to close everything down. Let's put it this way. I am part of a political organisation which does not have a legal existence. The assets of the organisation are legally held by a company whose Board of Directors happen to be simultaneously the political leadership of the organisation. That seems a totally straightforward way to do it.

Why can't we do that? Why could we not set up a non-profit, in whichever macronational jurisdiction is most appropriate, of which the President would always be the President of the Republic and the Board of Directors would be the Cabinet? And the non-profit would be the legal owners of the webspace?

> In other words: the contracting would be done in the name of a non-profit organisation incorporated under macronational law in an appropriate territory, but whose legal leadership would coincidentally be the leadership of the Talossan Republic. I assume the actual technical work of contracting would be done by the Minister of Technology, as is mandated in current legislation.
But this non-profit incorporatation thang is exactly the issue that has to be fleshed out before we can pass any laws. Last time we vested the legal ownership of our main means of communication into the hands of the President, it had just been a move of wishful thinking. So, we need to investigate the legal conditions in the world that surrounds our tiny Republic, before we can pass any law. Nothing more has been said.
The question, in comparison to the Nova Romani et al. is not "why can't we do that". The question is "how can we do that".
