yes we do.

This is a real pleasure on this list. We are IMHO effective  and respectful
of each other.
I like it a lot in this country where languages and associated feelings too
often creates the problem.

My proposal : let's go with French now as we will very shortly need the
bylaws in French, but take into account the ideas of the initial proposal
of the bylaws in Dutch.

Do you agree on such a plan ?

For my experience, being only able to work with bank transfer is NOT an
issue. We can always go through our personnal bank accounts for specific
transactions or reimbursements.

I like Triodos values ... that are IMHO close to ours in the Free software
/ open data world.

I do not know Keytrade ... that I consider more focused on making money
than playing a social role.

Mvg,

NP
