Is the government doing anything to define or formalise legal registration and management procedures?
For several years the government has been promising to publish regulations defining a procedure. Officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs’ Bureau of NGOs, which is primarily responsible for drafting the regulations, have on various occasions over the last twelve months said that a draft has been completed and sent to the State Council for approval, and that publication is imminent; but, to date, delays have proven more the rule than the exception.
