- **Set invoice details / Description**: mention full URL of the GitHub issue which served as the Bounty Issue

AsyncAPI does not perform financial transactions itself and relies on Open Collective's Fiscal Host 'Open Source Collective' to service payments and, thus, [comply with global sanctions](https://docs.oscollective.org/how-it-works/basics/expense-policies-and-limitations#permitted-countries-ofac-checks-and-payments-to-certain-countries). However, it has been empirically proven that even if the Bounty Program Participant is a citizen of a sanctioned jurisdiction, they can still receive the financial payment made to a payee in a non-sanctioned jurisdiction. Taking this into account, **potential Bounty Program Participants must check whether they will be able to receive payment themselves prior to starting participation in the Bounty Program**. AsyncAPI will not take any action if Open Source Collective refuses to relay the payment due to US or global sanctions imposed on a jurisdiction or an individual.

Also, note that if a Bounty Program Participant submits invoice expenses for more than six hundred US dollars and 00 cents (USD 600.00) per calendar year to a Collective at Open Collective with a Fiscal Host in the US (AsyncAPI fits this description,) they will be asked to fill out an IRS tax information form, which will be either a `W-8BEN` or a `W-8BEN-E` depending on whether the Bounty Program Participant has the legal status of an individual or of a sole proprietor, **supplying a local Tax ID**.
