Sounds good. I think this is the right choice.
Now according to wikipedia [1] again :
"The Civil Code of Germany contains different regulations for registered non-profit and for-profit associations regarded as juristic persons ("Vereine", articles 21–79) on the one hand and for not necessarily registered associations by contract ("Gesellschaften", articles 705–740) on the other hand."
So before I can put an opinion would it be possible to have a summary of these articles in plain english ;as laws, regulations are written with specific articalutaion that makes it harder for the layperson to understand, that is to my understanding the case in all languages and German is no exception.
The wikipedia entry is probably a good place to start, but you'll have to ask Google to translate: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eingetragener_Verein One question I have is - will it be possible to request/record that the eV will use English as the primary language? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-foundation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-foundation+help@opensuse.org
