Hi,

I checked the legislation in Belgium for the creation of a non-profit
organization.

Basically, you need:

1. 3 people who form the organization.

2. Their names and signatures, plus a charter of the organization, which must be deposited in a court of law. The 3 persons need
   not be present, they must not have the Belgian identity.
What needs to be stipulated in the charter is described in detail
   (in human-readable language) in freely downloadable documents
   of the Belgian government; I've read one, it's not so diffucult.
3. It must be published in the Belgian 'Staatsblad' - the official communications of the government.
Steps 2 and 3 together should cost at most 137 EUR (in 2006, that is...).

4. A list of active members must be deposited in a court of law.
   This is free of charge.

That's it. No lawyer is required for all this.

After that, each year a balance must be presented, this
is also free of charge.

It appears that Belgian law is more suitable for our purposes than German.

I'm still of the opinion that having a lawyer give a look to the charter would be a good thing. Could you dig out a friend lawyer which could do it on a voluntary basis? It would be the best, but if unavailable, we could always have the opinion of the Italian lawyer. After all European laws are more and more harmonized, and what we need is just to avoid gross pitfalls.

Giuliano
