Rob,
it's only for the partners. Remember, there's two levels, partners and
associates. Most people will just be associates. There won't be that many
partners, sort of like the "die-hard core" of the FreeCard group.

I think it mentions that along with the unanimous vote requirement.

No company may call you in Germany without your permission. They may send
you unsolicited mail or e-mail, but no phone calls. Some banks try to fool
you into allowing it by having a check box in their contracts "we may call
you" and having their representative automatically check it, but I usually
discover that when they ask for my phone number. I say "you don't need it",
they say "but if we want to call you" and I say "I don't want to be
called". Then they throw away the form and re-enter everything without the
box checked. Inconvenient but better than those calls. We used to get lots
of errant calls though, since a student home had a phone number very
similar to ours... :-(
