[Chapter-delegates] AMS celebration day 2024 [was Re: Happy third anniversary MemberNova initiative]

[Greg Shatan]

Oliver,

Modern Slavery Statements are required of certain commercial entities
offering goods or services in the UK, regarding efforts to avoid or
eliminate modern slavery and related workplace exploits in their supply
chains. Based on my reading of the law, ISOC would not fall within the
requirements of the law for several different reasons.

I am not a UK qualified lawyer and this is not legal advice.
