I will basically AOL richard on this - From what I have read on this thread, and from what we have already discussed about the topic elsewhere, I stand behind what seems to be the consensus of the Swiss integrants of our team. Even if it sounds backwards to me to form a new association given we already have one in the same geographic area, we have often followed the local country's customs for administrative issues. The recommendation to establish a DC13 association does not sound in any way improvised; it has been well thought-out and defended. The specifics on whether it should be an AG or a Gmbh seem (to me) also quite settled on an AG. Although, yes, listening to Stefano's reccomendations (and Marc's answer), we should make sure it's as clear as possible that this organization should not live forever (i.e. be limited in its bylaws that its sole purpose is to organize DC13 on August 2013, finish off its pending items, and disappear in a puff of good accounting).
