Huh ? I think you've got this backwards... simple == organization
dedicated to this conference; complex == European PSF (that's 
something for the US-based PSF to setup and worry about, 
though). See also my other mail on teh subject.

Again, I believe for the sake of getting the city of Charleroi 
into the boat, we'll have to have a Belgium organization with 
non-profit status. So somebody from Belgium should seriously
start looking into this... please !

Gee, why is this so complicated ?
