We vote on exoneration of the board for the period of 20061125-20071xxx.

3. Statute changes

The president, Pieter Hintjens, will present a set of amendments to the association's statutes. We will discuss each of these amendments, and then vote on each one. All amendments are subject to approval by the German fiscal authorities insofar as they may affect our tax-free status.

In the amendments, normal text is as it is in the statutes; overstrike is text proposed for deletion; and bold text is text proposed for insertion. Numbering has been automatically added and may be wrong.

(Note: You need a CSS-aware browser with overstrike capability in order to read the amendments. Text-based browsers are unlikely to work. Firefox is known to work, and probably so do Konqueror, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer.)
