Hello,
Thanks Simon for this proposal.
Unfortunately, I can't be there on the
20th in Berne (I'll be there the day before).
As a suggestion, I would like to invite
any volunteer who will attend this meeting to have a look at the french
"association" founded by october 2011.
Even if there's in France another legal
basis for "association", it gives a good idea of what can be
put in the Bylaws.
You will find here bylaws and others
ressources (in French): http://openstreetmap.fr/asso
They also have kinds of "working
group" about "technical issue", "communication",
"international relations" and "territories", see here
: http://openstreetmap.fr/gt
Hope it helps for the discussion next
month in Berne !
Concerning a name, I would suggest something
simple and straigthforward like "OpenStreetMap Switzerland".
KISS...
It may help for communication purposes.

OpenStreetMap Association (founding meeting)
Envoyé par :

A number of you may remember the discussion about
founding a Swiss
OpenStreetMap association from last year, at the time I didn't follow up
on the idea due to many other OSM related activities and due to the fact
that nobody volunteered a meeting room.
Since the underlying motivation for creating such an organisation
haven't changed and we (as in the Swiss OSM community) will have a
presence at the exhibition part of GEOsummit 2012 (www.geosummit.ch)
in
Berne, I propose to have a founding meeting over lunch on June the 20th
in Berne. Venue to be determined, but either in a restaurant in the
exhibition buildings or nearby.
We have a limited number of free exhibition entrance tickets available
that will be available on a first come first serve base to members of
the community that want to participate in the meeting.
If you want to come, please add your name here:

I will be updating the draft bylaws with some of the input from the
discussion over the next couple of days. One major point missing is a
good name, suggestions are welcome!
Simon
