[Wikimediach-l] Rumantsch Grischun - summary for non-german-speakers

2006-03-15 Thread Michael Bimmler
Hello, just as a summary for the thread Rumantsch Grischun in German: Gion has mentioned his intention to translate our bylaws into Rumantsch Grischun and he will post them afterwards at [[Bylaws/Rm]]. By the way, is there anybody who would translate the bylaws into French, as Emanuel had to give

I agree with Frederic I know that several actions must be done BEFORE the real foundation, but I still do not see why we need a special post address BEFORE the foundation - and even after the foundation, since we do not expect a bunch of mail. And as long there is no founded association, we all

Which bank: Postfinance looks like a good option to me, if only because it is easy to give a postal account number to anyone for donations, such as 12-345678-9, instead of having to say Bank such and such, account A-BCDEFGH-I. All the associations I know of use a Yellow account as their main
