Explanation:
"Protector: if the Founder wants, he can appoint a Protector for the foundation so that he can supervise the performance of the Foundation council. If established in the Foundation Charter, he can freely remove the members of the Foundation Council and appoint new members. In order to keep confidentiality about the identity of the Protector, his appointment can be done through the Regulations of the Foundation, which is a private document not registered at any public office. The Protector can be someone close to the Founder, the Founder himself or any third party."

Notes to answerer
Asker: This is indeed from a Panama website. However, if you read the English on the website, you'll notice it is very poor.

neutral  AllegroTrans: unsure...English is rather suspect, and "protector" doesn't make sense to EN ears, does this person run a protection racket?
