There are a couple of points that I want to highlight (besides what I mentioned in previous mails):
+ I've tried to formulate both the purpose and activities clauses very general, so that we have a lot of flexibility in how we support OSM activities in Switzerland.
+ for pure practical reasons I've empowered the board to decide on membership in other organisations. Once things have stabilized this probably should/could be changed to the general assembly.
+ I've added a "non-exclusion" clause, just as it is not necessary to be a member of the OSMF to participate in nearly all OSMF activities (including working groups and so on) we probably don't want to require membership for most things. Note I did not state "on the same terms", so we would be free to ask for a or different contribution for attending an event or so.
+ I've not added a language quota requirement to the board, even though I would strongly suggest and support that there is participation from all Swiss language regions.

The wikimedia by-laws are definitely too complicated
That's your personal opinion. I don't think so. - General note: The more precise articles of association are, the less discussion and misunderstanding occur.
The wikimedia bylaws introduce a number of concepts not required by law, and restate a lot of things that are -already- completely satisfactory defined in law.
If I could wager a bet, I would put my money on that the articles were either wrote by a lawyer with anglo-saxon background or to satisfy one.
(there are far better examples for example /ch/open
Disagree as well on that one. IMHO they should mention registered office and business year, just as simple examples.
They do state the business year and it is completely legal not to state a place of business. If it has no undesirable consequences (I can't think of any at the current time) it avoids having to have a general assembly and change the bylaws every time the kind soul who does the administration moves.
Anyway my proposal is here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Draft_Bylaws_Swiss_OSM_Association_-_Germ...
