maybe it is possible to have one, we had thought so, too, but it turned out to be conceived as the 'obn group'; a closed group. we wanted to get away from this status thing, and now turned to the activity principle.
actually, we are in a kind of in between at the moment. 'the network' still expects the ex-cores to do the work... and if we do it, obn will never become a network, but always stay a group! hm, any good advice? how can you give people the feeling that it is an opportunity to have a powerful tool as a mailinglist and ACTIVELY use it?

these activities are going on anyway, and they do not need an obn logo. 
obn is a network of peaceful sisters;-)

no, we wanted to go away as far as possible from building an institutionalized form, also from having an office i.e. 
i think for the one reason that we are all completely tired of adminstrating ourselves even more than we already have to at the moment. another point is that obn is locally distributed, and it would simply not be possible to have a verein or something in many different cities.

money for the projects has to be raised by the single project groups for their specific projects.

well, that was my personal opinion, but it always sounds as if i would speak for obn. i have no idea why nobody feels the need to react to the postings... :-((
