Simon,
do you have an English translation (or French, if that is what you can get from the KMU portal)? Resp. should somebody else take care of that? German isn't really well understood further West. And I think it is really important that we do that together.
Otherwise, looks good to me.

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...
