Yes. The collective group does that.

Everything you state is correct.

Everything that one can think about to do, both as German Zwiebelfreunde
as well as "as umbrella". For example, we never managed to produce
financial transparency on either level, which is a shame also towards
the partner organizations. We have no task list and I didn't start one
because (from experience) that means spending a lot of time coordinating
things.

It would be a slow shutdown, with probably LIR functions remaining. In
some respect we are already "shut down" since we don't do much actively
any more, neither as association nor as umbrella. We still perform the
functions claimed on the website, and we still convert donations to exit
traffic, but there's a lot more we could be doing.
