Dear all After discussing with my German colleagues I can provide you with further feedback on the steps we need to take if we want to establish the foundation in Germany. I attach three documents: 1. Election criteria: this document summarized the options that we have available in Germany to establish our foundation. I believe that the best suited option remains the association but I wanted to show you all the available options. 2. Foundation of a german association. The articles of association (Satzung) of an association, if this is then finally the way chosen, should cover the following topics: 1. Name and legal form, FY 2. Place of (registered) seat 3. Purpose of the company (non-economic business) 4. Regulation on membership (becoming, leaving and expulsion of member) 5. Contribution by members 6. Managing Director (Vorstand): election process, number, office duration, payment (the latter needs to be regulated if any) 7. administrative council / board (not obligatory board but this may make sense in this set-up) 8. Member meeting (frequency, convening, execution and minutes, voting majorities (especially for dissolution or changing purpose)) Most of these items are already covered in our "by-laws", so it seems that we are in good shape. Note however that in Germany we need 7 members to setup the association. 3. Articles of association. This is just an example (in English ) of the articles of association of a German association. Please note that The articles of association can be bilingual (German / English). We do the same for Telefónica Germany companies. Finally, we could also try to obtain a non-profit status: in case we want to get the formal label by the tax authority that the association´s purpose is to the "benefit to the public", we need additional some special rules in your articles of association showing such benefit for the public (inter alia in the purpose or that in case of liquidation there is no payout to members). I understand however that it would be difficult for us to get this status. I would suggest we setup a call in the next few days to review these documents (and the documents previously circulated) and decide how to move forward.
