He is suggesting to use the PBF instead of a new
EEIG or whatever.  I agree with this 100%.  There
is absolutely no point having a separate structure.
It already has a bank account and legal status.

The PBF can have "Special Interest Groups" with their
own fees, membership rules and whatever.  So the PBF could 
have a 'EuroPython-SIG' and any voting structure it wanted
- decisions about conferences need not be limited to
PBF members.  And if there were, say, 3 key people not in
the PBF, it's cheaper and easier to give them membership
than to create a whole separate organisation.
