It's some sort of formal membership fee, let's say CHF 30 for individuals and CHF 300 for companies. This pays for instance press work and expenses of the volounteering 'Vorstand'. >>But I agree, being an association, we'd would be mentioned in political >>issues regarding FMG, privacy, telecommunications and so on. > > Indeed, but we dont have to forget, we dont want to enter in political > discussions. we can defend your business, but SwiNOG is not a political > "Partei/Parti" ;-) I didn't mean 'Partei'. I tought about some sort of 'Interessenverband', similar to 'Bauernverband' or oders (see http://dmoz.org/World/Deutsch/Regional/Europa/Schweiz/Wirtschaft/Organisationen_und_Verb%e4nde/ for examples). An association is only involved into a political discussion if the topic is affecting them. > From the begining, SwiNOG descisions have been voted by raising your hand at > a SwiNOG meeting.
