Financing about open-registry HOT 4 OPEN

So, easiest way forward is using Open Collective with Open Collective Europe ASBL as a host which is a european non-profit (based in Belgium). This way, we don't have to setup a separate legal and accounting entity, as Open Collective EU would do that for us.

It comes with some drawbacks though, such as a 10% administration fee + credit card fees (1.4% + €0.25 for European cards and 2.9% + €0.25 for non-European cards) which will be taken from the donations, so less income.

As it's the easiest way to get started and the fees are not too bad, it's my suggestion that we move forward with this.

Unless someone has any objections against using Open Collective Europe ASBL as a host for us, I'll move forward with this in a couple of days.

With no pushback on this issue with Open Collective Europe ASBL, I'll move forward with moving us from LiberaPay to Open Collective.

And it's been moved to Open Collective Europe ASBL! You can see the page here: https://opencollective.com/open-registry

I've signed up to contribute 10 Euro per month to get started. Estimate is that we'll survive the hosting costs with about 600 euro per year (60 euro per month) which will certainly increase in the future.
