As Werner is setting up more infrastructure under the name "Verein" and as our 
constitution says that our name will eventually (if we are properly 
registered) have the name "GnuPG e.V." (thus containing the abbrevation for 
Verein in the name) I have now added a subsection to the Präambel of the 
constitution:

\subsection{Disclaimer on translated versions}
This version of the constitution was translated from the German version
of the constitution. This translation is unofficial and not legally binding.\\
The word „Verein“ is left untranslated as it is part of the name. The
meaning of „Verein“ is roughly equivalent to „Association“ or „Society“.


Does anyone object to continue the usage of the word "Verein" ?


Regards,
Andre
