Who stands behind the project
An independent check found no single rights-holding legal entity: the project is co-organized, and the chain of title is still being established. UAFest organizes and produces the North American premiere. Our memorandum with the project says exactly that, and anyone citing us should say it too.

- Co-organizer · the project's strongest institutional partyEstonian reg. code 80127690, Tallinn
- Андрій Яценко
- Project author and director — named on the record certificate

What we will happily tell you we do not know
- Which single organization or person holds the rights to the project. This is being established; UAFest holds no exclusive representation for the Americas.
- How many countries the cloth has crossed. The certificate counts organizations and panels; the team quotes 13 in May and 15 in August.
- The route beyond Carleton Place. Cities across Canada, the United States and Latin America are named in the team's working plan, and none of them is agreed.
- Whether a Guinness World Records attempt will be filed, when, and in which category.
