Hm, I just don't see the point in making Bern the seat of Wikimedia CH and opening a post box, when none of the persons who are interested in Wikimedia CH live there. And by the way, a lot of swiss associations have its seat not in Bern but e.g. in Zurich (WWF Schweiz as an example). And Zurich has the advantage, that at least some of us live next to Zurich, what would make it easier to maintain a post box. And for tax reasons: afaik Zurich is rather tax-friendlier than Bern (international investors etc.). Just that you don't misunderstand me: I don't want to "push forward" Zurich, I'm absolutely okay with Olten and Solothurn as well, but why don't we make the seat there, where we have a "local" instead of making it in a town, which is by the way not exactly central (if you look on a Swiss map, Lucerne is definitely more central), and where none of us lives.
