Bailey:
- keithgoldstein: Working on future dates for board meetings and pirate beer. Beer meetings are going well, sp we will have them every 3 weeks. Sent people for groundspasses.
- Dichter: Tying up loose ends. Setting up board dates meetings. ECOSOC paperwork done. Attended the SCULL meeting, that was very productive. Still in the process to set up internal finance meeting prior to the SCURVY meeting. Also yet to write to court of arbitration.
Gregory:
- Dichter: Since the last report, I spend more time on evaluating a group chat solution for the PPI Board, and we are installing now in parallel rocket and zulip for final comparison. I have visited the EP and met with Mikulas and Patrick on Monday. Have found more speakers and participants for the municipal conference in Prague. We had the SCULL meeting on monday focused on IT best practices, there have been some discussion about creating a "toolkit" for new parties - a work group have initiated of this and will meet February 03rd. Together with Bailey we have been working on dates for the other Standing Committees. We came up with following dates: next SCULL committee will be March 15th focused on Graphics and Design - we ask some parties (DE, CZ, …) to prepare a keynote about their graphics process and will send out the invite as soon as we get confirmations on this. The SCURVY (Standing Committee on Usual Requisitions of Various Yields, a.k.a the finance committee) will be February 09th 19:00 CET - we asked DE, CZ and IT for keynotes. The first meeting of the SCENE (Standing Committee on External Network Engagement, a.k.a. Press, Campaigning and Social Media) will be April 20th 2020 20:20 CET. I am working on the Logos for those Committees. I had scheduled a date with David on TT4 for this Friday, but it had to be moved.
I also participated in the federal board meeting of PPRU and have presented PPI state of affairs.
Keith:
Currently in Italy. Will be back in Israel in a couple weeks for our big election. Busy as usual...

Mike:
- MichalGill: - Gave a report/presentation on PPI activities at the PPCZ's GA.
- Got invited to the PPNO's GA (April) to pass on some good practices that worked for the PPCZ.
- Got interviewed by the Israeli journalist that's preparing to make the documentary on the Pirate movement. Will get him in touch with Swedes and Icelanders; shall invite him to Pirate Beer.
- Made the Pirate Beer.
- Working on Linda's questionnaire to our members.
- Yesterday and today promised to Vladimir Saveliev I'll look into the situation of Taiwanese Pirates (who are very much in the situation the Russians are in - unable to establish themselves as a party for "promoting naval piracy"). Prague mayor has good connections with Taiwanese president and Taipei's mayor, so I'll try to use that.

Registering 2020 ECOSOC representatives
We have 3 passes for Ny, 3 for Vienna, and 1 for Geneva left. If anyone else needs a permanent pass, especially someone living in those locations, they should let us know.
New member applications Reviewing inactive and/or non-participating members
We have a number of parties that have expressed interest in joining PPI and need some motivation. We have a number of parties that appear to have problems with some of these parties joining, and we need to delicately handle the inclusion of these new parties. We could use a secretary for new member applications and a secretary for ongoing membership solvency. I do not think we need to force less active parties out. We should extend assistance even if there is just one member of a party remaining. However, if the member party displays excessive caustic attitudes against another party that is legitimately pursuing a pirate agenda and wishes to join PPI, then we will need to refer to the CoA.
- keithgoldstein: We have application from Chile.
- Dichter: we had contact of interest from a group of Ukrainians activists

- Dichter: next SCULL committee will be March 15th focused on Graphics and Design - we ask some parties (DE, CZ, …) to prepare a keynote about their graphics process and will send out the invite as soon as we get confirmations on this.
