Hi,

I have one made-up name and one seemingly authentic name here of some kind of entities. Can you check what are the proper names for these examples? 

1. The Northeast Asia Bilateral Forum in Tokyo

2. The Korea Consumer Protection Board said yesterday....

I'm not sure what you are asking here. They are proper nouns.

Thank you.

Thank you again, but let me ask you one more Q.

Here, why did one place "the" in front a proper name of a chuch and why did he place "of" and not "in" eventhough I think that "of" is "passable"?

Thank you. Does the fact that the acronyms for the two organizations are listed as NABF and KCPB without the "THEs" have any bearing on the fact that the "THEs" are part of the proper nouns or  not?
