I don't see the problem with the post box as discussed in the thread: a) Wikimedia CH is an internet focussed foundation. Therefore a permanent, non-changing postal address is not that important than for a non-internet-focussed foundation. We don't have printed mail paper we had to change (or do we plan to have this?)
b) A postal address is only important for legal reasons (for "Einstweilige Verfügungen" for example). In a legal case, the postal address has to be verified every time it is used. But this address can be changed any time as it is published on a Wiki page. c) The postal address must not be identic with the seat of the foundation. So these discussions should be separated. d) This postal service costs 20 CHF per year. Sure it is convenient - but do we expect that much "snail mail" to justify this amount? e) The postal address as offered by "Die Post" is in our case more an image issue (including the discussion about the image of the destination city) than a needed feature. If the president would be overwhelmed by snail mail we can consider this offering any time. I would prefer to define the foundation seat by evaluating the most interesting canton by economic and legal reasons.
