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.
