thanks. We right now have 4 out of 6 necessary votes, so I will wait 
before closing the ballot.


BTW, in the meantime I researched a bit, and got also feedback from the 
lawyer we plan to contract, and in fact, the hourly rates seem to be 
higher as anticipated. Several German websites talk about hourly rates 
with an average of 180 €, not going below 120 €, so my assumption with 
50 € was obviously too low. In a nutshell: Based on the normal sums 
occuring, that fixed price of 3.000 € indeed sounds like a very good deal.

Just one trivial typo in the "Members" text for "SC private".
e-defined should read re-defined.
