The list will more than likely be pretty clear once we have a specific set
of questions from a lawyer and a first meeting with the people who want to
be part of founding the asbl/vzw.

Do we need/want a membership fee, how do we elect board members, how do we
want to manage budgets (specific mandates for certain people), etc.

I guess we surely have some, at least looking at the activity of the
different mailing list over the past months and the consolidation that is
happening.

It's a proposal. I'm pretty happy if anyone else wants to do it but someone
will have to kick something off ;-)
