[Wikimedia-l] [Fundraising 2013] Wikimedia France stepping back from payment processing

[Dan Rosenthal]

Christophe,

About this "reconnaissance d'utilite publique" or "supercharity" concept;
is there a link to an analysis (preferable) or even just the text of the
law/provision/regulation? Even one in French only would be OK, I'm just
curious to know more about how it works in practice.
