Hi Michael,
the €1000,- are ready to go, only need the bank account number, transfer 
can be done on short notice.

Me alone cannot speak for the board (I guess this this was meant with 
"ex cathedra"?) but only for myself and 1/9th of the board.

Once I have sorted out where the money comes from, I'll let you know but 
this is secondary as it will not show up on the shirt anywhere.

Does this suffice to get going on your part?

Arnulf.
