5. WE ARE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE OUT FOR ANY PLANS BY FDC SUPPORTERS HERE TO SET UP AN OFFICE AND REGISTER. IF THE FDC ATTEMPTED TO REGISTER AN OFFICE UNDER THE COMPANIES OR SOCIETIES ORDINANCE WE DO NOT/NOT INTEND TO APPROVE IT. (OUR GROUNDS FOR REFUSAL WOULD BE THAT SUCH AN OFFICE WOULD BE A BRANCH OF A POLITICAL ORGANISATION BASED OUTSIDE THE TERRITORY, AS PROVIDED FOR UNDER THE RELEVANT LEGISLATION). WE WILL KEEP AN EYE OPEN ALSO FOR ATTEMPTS TO EVADE THESE ORDINANCES, E.G. BY REGISTERING AS A BUSINESS FOR TAX PURPOSES UNDER ANOTHER NAME.
