The change in Incorporating Agency gives the guidelines a more international focus by using the term formation over incorporation and by acknowledging that businesses are generally registered, not established, with a filing. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>--- Motion begins --- <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Effective immediately, the following changes are made to Section 4 of the EV Guidelines: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Business Entity: Any entity that is <u>not</u> <s>neither</s> a Private Organization, <s>nor a</s> Government Entity<u>, or Non-Commercial Entity</u> as defined herein.
