CPSR must be seen as a nice host, as to my knowledge there hasn't  
been any criticism directed to the organization. We seem to be  
playing the role of a neutral facilitator :)

ISOC seems to evoke reactions from far more people than CPSR does. As  
for the hosting for the european new structure - well, i didn't see  
an open call anywhere . perhaps a first step would have been to make  
a call to see who might be able to host the site

Well another question, will the new "european" structure speak for  
just EU members or all "europeans" ? If it's just the EU, then the  
languages you mention aren't (yet) official in the EU ;)
