FAQ Category: 6. Domicile

The foundation’s design is aligned with and partly inspired by the Swiss initiatives, for which we are very thankful!
A Swiss foundation, as proposed by the group’s initiator in mid-2024, may work well for the CH cases. However, it needs to be expanded.

Not thoroughly combining the design with the Swiss group may result in a more difficult start in terms of funding and the loss of a currently unknown number of supporters.

Still, we need a more practical, broader, long-term approach that keeps the KERI inventor’s vision intact. Any local group can have more urgent plans and a directed agenda.

We’ve foreseen a direct funding method within the foundation to accommodate the needs of the Swiss user group and businesses.

The domicile is the state of Utah, US.

History

A short list of options for domicile stemming from selection criteria and design principles existed. The design process resulted in a uniform request-for-proposal layout, and local service providers’ responses were considered.
