Indeed "and so on.." is open. My point was more to say its not restricted (as
Per Jessen said) to _ACCESS_ providers. You say it should (maybe) be limited to
BAKOM registered providers, don't forget that the new BÜPF law draft includes
non-BAKOM registered _SERVICE_ providers (like mail hosting) and I think such
an assoc. should also protect them.
Participate is the preparation process and you'll have your word to say. If you
wish to be founding member, you will also be able to amend the Statutes and get
a vote during the foundation assembly.
See you!
Pascal
