Re: The assembly’s position

as a follow-up to the discussion, setting up a non-profit organisation in France (and I suppose it will be similar in other European countries) is very easy: You just need two participants, and bylaws that you can more or less copy-paste from existing organisations (of course, we invested a bit more time in writing those of Guix Europe, but there is no difficulty in principle). Then you declare your organisation to the authorities, and that is all. Such an organisation can own assets and even employ people (but that is always tricky since then one needs to know about labour laws, social insurance, taxes and so on). The important thing is to not make profits, or at least to not cash them out to the members.
