(The more members, the better :-) Let's start with one such associtation, there can be more later one. I am not familiar with association law, but it seems to me that there is need for various members, maybe a little fee to pay, not sure (well for french associations), and an annual meeting or somethign such. I am not sure how well the frnech association law handle non-french members, and err, lets call it virtual meetings. Maybe someone is familiar with this, or i could ask around. Friendly, Sven Luther
