[Ambassadors] EMEA: Preliminary Statutes

[Gerold Kassube]

Excuse all english_(and_also_other)_speaking persons ...

Sandro, this is the correct german phrase and it depends on german law
for a "Verein" that you need this article ...

"Der Mitgliedsbeitrag darf EURO 1.000 pro Jahr nicht übersteigen.
Änderungen dieses Höchstbetrages müssen durch die Mitgliederversammlung
einstimmig beschlossen werden."

1.) The currency isn't fixed till today, in case of the founding in
Germany we might choose EURO as well :-)

2.) this is the highest amount the NPO is getting from the members per
year.

3.) you need to read the article in the content of all article and
understand, that the board is handling in the name of all members, ...
.. and all members together decide and vote for the member fee :-)

Regards

Gerold
