Good idea. Let's start a competition for the best description/slogan ...

Hmm, I think there are no "rules", but IMHO it is OK to tell people they're in contact with a non-profit organisation, not a company. On the other hand, you are right in that e.V. is probably meaningless for people outside Austria, Germany and Switzerland ... Wouldn't the punch line be sufficient? (I'm just thinking aloud).

That's up to Craig to decide. I'm fine with any solution.

Definitely, yes.

Many thanks for your suggestions so far!
