- Prior to issuing a Form DS-2019 (which then facilitates an applicant's ability to apply for a Visa) a sponsor must verify which camp the applicant will be working at during the summer.
- All third parties (camps) would be required to provide a Dun & Bradstreet identification number.
- All sponsoring organizations (in ACA’s language, this is the camp placement agency) must have obtained Dun & Bradstreet Information Reports on all third parties with whom they conduct business.
- Key Messages regarding the impact these changes would have on camps.
