Some substantial updates from the 2021-04-23 board meeting:

• first meeting with attorney, summary and discussion, further steps, further help from attorney
• Two existing proposals in https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/NeBWm25cd2LHyoq - Germany and Luxembourg
  Rationale: We asked the public to send proposals, so let's discuss in public first. We can move to private if needed.
• had call with attorney (Lothar)
• just give some details (Thorsten)
  • then go to private if necessary
• two options, German and Luxembourg entity (Florian)
  • TDF investments must have a perspective of generating revenues
  • need to find out how SIS can do that, thing seem easier for GmbH
  • needs clarification
• questions on parameters and some fundamental questions raised
• good conversation with the attorney (Lothar)
  • very helpful to have them with us
• seconded (Thorsten, Uwe)
• strongly recommended to talk with authorities in advance (Uwe)
  • will need a tax attorney for that
  • get written statement
• would be nice to have proper answers from German Ministries/Authorities (Paolo)
  • as for the Luxembourg proposal
