Hi, Considering the remarks of Matthew and Pierre, I will look into the possibility to make ubuntu-be a vzw and propose a draft for the statutes. Until it is finished, I will keep my mouth shut about it.
Why am I proposing a vzw? First of all, if you compare the proposal on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/TeamOrganization (the council and active members concepts and such), with the legislation on vzw's, it looks as if you are re-inventing the wheel. Vzw's hava a committee (the councel), fixed members (identified active members) and joining members. So please don't talk about ivory tower without further explanations. The purpose of the organization is clearly defined and the mechanisms for voting and changing the rules are also clear. Something everyone can benefit from. After all, the internal 'organization' (as far there is one) doesn't have to change at all, just from the outside world it looks more professional. That being said, we let it rest for now until I have more news. Regards, Dries.
