Libervia is a French nonprofit organization, so we have the expertise
with goffi for that. My French is definitely not good enough for legal
texts. Dutch is convenient for me.

Important: A very long time ago, when I have searched a company to host XSF
data (before the server crashes) and when I specify that it is US organization,
all talks have stopped. I had informed Peter Saint-Andre about this problem.
Good to see that now, in 2026, there is a progress about this situation.

Subject: [Members] XSF EU Legal Structure: Example Proposals
Dear XSF community,
Documentation has been prepared outlining example approaches for relocating the
XSF's legal home to the European Union. These proposals are intended as
lightweight, pragmatic illustrations of how such a transition could work. They
are not intended to define the eventual legal form, and no decisions have been
made.
Please note: although I am currently a Board member, these proposals were
created on my own accord and do not reflect any shared opinion or decision of
the XSF Board.
Currently, the examples focus on structures under Dutch law and assume a
complete migration from the U.S. to the EU. They are meant to help the
community explore possibilities, understand trade-offs, and discuss potential
paths forward.
The proposals can be found at:
https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/XSF_EU_Legal_Transition_Proposal
Please review these examples, ask questions, and share feedback - maybe even
add alternative proposals of your own. Your input will help ensure that any
future decision is well-informed, practical, and aligned with the needs of the
XSF community.
Kind regards,
Guus
