Salon N-10 sits inside one of the corporate practices and governance committee complexes in the Polanco-Bosques corridor of Mexico City: an oval table seating eleven, a central screen for benchmark review, lecterns for the committee chair and the Spencer Stuart or Egon Zehnder consultant, an adjoining deliberation room with five seats, a holding foyer for working coffee, a dumbwaiter from the corporate kitchen, and an independent access door for the notary when the minutes signing requires public attestation. This is where the annual practices committee sessions of IPC-listed corporates run, where the annual board evaluations of dual-listed groups take place, where the CEO succession plan reviews convene, and where the executive compensation reports are reviewed. What separates Salon N-10 from a posh ballroom is the documentary order: the independent director kit enters before the benchmark, exits signed by each committee member at close, and respects the confidentiality limits of the succession plan.
Production of 8 to 14 pieces for practices committee members, independent directors and corporate governance consultants. Folder with the corporate isotype, printed agenda, sector benchmark copy, CEO succession plan copy, compensation report, encrypted USB drive with the Spencer Stuart or Egon Zehnder study annexes, roller pen, consultant recommendations card. Delivery to the holding foyer with the committee chair's signature and sealed-box custody.
Uniforms for the board secretariat team, the compensation team and the front-of-house staff of Salon N-10. Charcoal-grey executive suit, vest with the corporate governance isotype, badge with photo, succession plan notebook, smartwatch with the agenda synced. Professional pressing, delivered to back-of-house 90 minutes before the session opens.
Production of 4 to 8 pieces for Spencer Stuart, Egon Zehnder, Korn Ferry or Heidrick & Struggles consultants, international corporate counsel and executive compensation experts. Box with encrypted USB drive holding the study, mug with the corporate isotype, paperweight, engraved plate with the consultant's name. Delivery at the front desk with a control sheet and the compliance officer's signature.
Production of 2 to 6 pieces for independent directors completing their period, board members with 15 years of service or practices committee chairs. Wooden box with the isotype, hand-bound book tracing the director's tenure, curated Valle de Guadalupe bottle or aged spirit, calligraphed card with the monogram. Delivery to the driver or protocol officer at the corporate lobby.
Salon N-10 runs on a freight dock dedicated to the corporate: the lateral dock accepts 6-ton trailers within restricted hours and by prior booking, and the 2.5-ton box truck has its own ramp under permanent surveillance. Pedestrian freight access requires prior ID, the corporate credential and a logbook signature from the operations area; there is no informal access and no entry through the corporate main door. The corporate operations staff delivers the independent director folder with visible ID and credential, and handles restocking during the session recess. Salon N-10's back-of-house has three areas: the committee holding foyer (where the folder is staged), the deliberation room (where the remaining merch sits in sealed boxes) and the notary's room (where reserved material is kept under notarial signature).
For practices committee sessions with international consultant presence (typically from the US, Canada, Europe and Asia), we handle invoicing in USD at the Banco de Mexico FIX rate from the day before the session, with USMCA compliance and support for deduction as Corporate Governance or Executive Compensation expense in the corporate fiscal close. For sessions with CNBV presence when applicable, we handle compliance with the corporate security protocol and the notarial protocol when the minutes signing requires public attestation. The merch chain of custody is documented with signature, time stamp and photo at every checkpoint: dock entry, operations inspection, back-of-house transfer, restocking during the recess, post-session pickup.
Salon N-10 enforces operating rules the merch must respect: phones off inside the room during committee deliberations (directors leave their phones in the holding foyer), no merch with noise or distraction elements, no large backpacks or bags inside the room (directors leave their gear in the foyer), no POP material carrying competitor logos (frequently requested by corporates), no outside food or beverages beyond the corporate catering service, no non-uniformed personnel in the back-of-house during the session. For sessions that require limited-edition merchandising (numbered anniversary plaque, book signed by the study guest author, paperweight stamped with the succession plan year), we coordinate with the corporate operations team to ensure the piece clears the security protocol, the notarial protocol and the CEO succession plan confidentiality protocol.
For SAT invoicing we issue CFDI 4.0 with the 16% IVA breakdown and support for deduction as Corporate Governance, Executive Compensation or Board Relations expense depending on how the merch is used. For corporates with IMMEX operations or US exposure we handle complementary invoicing in USD with the foreign trade complement and USMCA compliance when the merch crosses the border as part of the reserved material for the international consultant resident abroad. For groups with dual listings (BMV and NYSE/Nasdaq), we handle bilingual (es/en) invoicing and USMCA compliance. Merch is delivered with carta porte 3.0 when interstate or international transit applies, with the foreign trade complement when applicable, and with the payment complement when the corporate pays in instalments.
Independent director folder — from USD 158 per piece before VAT at a 12-piece run. Staff merch — from USD 217 per person at an 8-piece run. Consultant hospitality — from USD 193 per piece at a 4-piece run. Director recognition — from USD 770 per piece at a 2-piece run. Pricing does not include the Salon N-10 rental, which is quoted directly with the corporate operations area depending on the day, the hours, the protocol setup and additional services (catering, working coffee, audiovisual gear, deliberation room, notary room).
For practices committee sessions on high-demand dates (IPC issuer annual board evaluations, CEO succession plan reviews, executive compensation reports at dual-listed corporates) we block the calendar 90 days ahead with a firm written commitment. For sessions on low-demand dates we block 45 days ahead. Express production under 21 days carries a +35% surcharge for the curation and dispatch. The reservation runs on a fourteen-point brief: session date, evaluation type, director count, pieces per package, corporate brand manual, corporate colour palette, notarial protocol, freight logistics, post-session donation, SAT invoicing and USMCA compliance when the merch crosses the border.
