*Finance Discussions and Usual Requisitions (fundraising and whatnot)

Attending: Gregory, Bailey, Mike, Keith, Etienne, JiYong, Numero6, Olivia, pr02, Theophile Choutri

===Fundraising Ideas===
:PPNL European election fundraising was a bit contraversial, because they promised a return on the work. The concept of gambling or high-risk loans might imply. Nothing came out of it. There was a limit, because it would otherwise potentially bankrupt the party. Donations of around 50, 100, and a few 1000, totaling 10,000ish.

:Open collectives
::Has anyone hear about open collectives?
They are a collective. They have easy to donate buttons, but you list your core people who donate. It is an opensource solution for managing donations. It is also good for small groups that do not have their own bank accounts. You can apply for financial hosts.
https://opencollective.com/

*Merchandise:
Olivia: I'm seeing some Parties selling face masks and water bottles with their logos on it and other merchandise such as shirts and computer stickers. On a prior meeting I suggested selling pet clothing for dogs and cats that have the PPI colors and logos & other merchandise for computers such as stickers and mouse pads. In youtube videos I also see cats in cute Pirate outfits too. Pirate hats!! Pirate flags of countries too.

:Gregory: WE are a global organisation, and selling stuff globally is a challenge (citation needed). We do have technically a shop in the wordpress, we can start selling stuff imediatly. but what would we do, if somebody actually order something? Who would then do the sippinig, handling and customs?
Idially we would need multiple fulfillment centers worldwide (North America, EMEA, Asia, etc) that would take on the fullfillment. Amazon Merch could be one such solution, but they only do "normal" clothing (t-shirts, hoodies), but no cutie pet clothing...

Keith: we also could use the national pirate shops - Czech, Dutch, etc - and let them sell "our" stuff.

:We can set up one or a few items that are low cost that we can provide to the local shops, international items.

:Get the people who already have the shops to share their designs, and thus let everyone set up their webshops.

Olivia: How about adding a mascot with the PPI logos too.

Olivia: The Merch Amazone link looks promising. It's global too.

:When other countries are interested, I can try to find the design of this shirt: https://piratenpartij.nl/winkel/heren-t-shirt-klokkenluiders/

:The Czech shop has a lot of stuff nowadays - https://www.piratskyobchod.cz/

:Mascot versus coat of arms discussion

:The PPI store could group the orders from the national stores in the same way as central purchasing agencies do.

Olivia: There are baby onesies on the CZ store too!!

Olivia: Is beach merchandise popular? Tote bags and towels, etc. Phone covers!!!

:PPCZ can do international shipping and sell our stuff.

===New Rules for Fees===

Invoice [#XXXXX]

Dear [PIRATE PARTY]

The following are the 2019 membership fees for Pirate Parties International (PPI), which are due by the end of 2020.

We would like to ask you to pay the affiliation fees for the past year, if it is within your party's financial means. These fees are now calculated according to the new system that was decided at the 2018 GA. The amount owed is outlined in the PPI Wiki: https://wiki.pp-international.net/wiki/index.php?title=Affiliation_fees

Please review the following 4-Tier Membership Fee System and select which bracket does your party fall under.

The Four Tiers are as follows: 1) Mature, 2) Established, 3) Emerging, 4) Nascent.

Mature members are established members that also receive regular state funding, have elected officials at state or regional level, and/or have elected officials at local level who receive compensation. (fulfill at least two).

Established members are emerging members that also have paying members and run for elections on a regular basis (fulfill all).

Emerging members are Nascent members that also collect donations (fulfill all).

Nascent members have regular statutory activities, such as general assemblies and run activism projects (fulfill all).

The amounts payable as set by the 2018 General Assembly:

Mature would pay 1000 euros.

Established would pay 185 euros.

Emerging would pay 50 euros.

Nascent would pay 0 euros.

No member shall pay more than 2% of their previous annual income. This would apply to the affiliation fees that are due in 2019. If you have difficulties paying the fees, please just let us know. We do not want any member to not participate for financial reasons.

Parties that do not have sufficient funds can request a discount, according to the 2% rule: Affiliation fee payments should not be above 2% of your total budget. If your party has any difficulties with payment, please contact us. We do not want any party not to participate in PPI due to lack of funds. However, we do require your affiliation fee payments to keep our internet servers running and offset the costs of conferences and meetings. PPI is a non-profit institution. All funds will be documented on our Wiki finances page: https://wiki.pp-international.net/wiki/index.php?title=Finances.

Since the new system puts each party to a set tier, the fees should no longer change between years. We would therefore also liked to kindly ask you to consider to pay the 2020 fees as well, yet within the year 2020. There's no need for your party to do this, but it would be greatly appreciated to improve PPI's cashflow. But the rules are still the same: every year the fees are collected for the previous year.

/note about additional optional fee to suplement the fees of the poorer parties/

Affiliation fee payments can be made by the following means:
1) Bank transfer, Pirate Parties International, Case postale 36, 1188 Gimel IBAN: CH63 0900 0000 8901 9371 7 BIC: POFICHBEXXX Geneve, Switzerland

2) Bitcoin Exchange transfer, AA93 N84G Z6LC C7VQ kraken.com
Key: Fd8AUrJOTFtSv+qUQu6nXo4Rn8q83oqvHlP1sng/s832KHLl2X2DVmKj

3) PayPal https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=9RZ3VNM7NE7HC

Thank you for your assistance,

Dan Prazeres
Pirate Parties International Board Member & Treasurer

== 4 - REPORTS ==
=== 4.1 - Short report of the board members 1) ===

*Board

*Cedric:

*Cal:

*Gregory: I was in contact with PP-PT and PP-RO on their status. Helped PP-RU to translate the statement on Belarus. Also have met with the Freedom to Share ECI committee - we agreed that the starting date for signature collections will be November 05th.

*Linda: new meeting with PPEU COC the 27th, also chatting wirh Island then

*Mike: Nothing really to report. Just a few pro-free-Belarus events.

*Dan

*Thomas:

*Keith: Been working on internal political stuff, as we have had a lot of new activity in PPIL.

*Bailey: We had a very nice meeting with the new board of Pirate Party Chile on Saturday, although it was only Keith and I who attended from the PPI board (it was a bit short notice so no worries). I published the invite for the SCURVY meeting on the 27th. PPNL reached out to see if we could set up Cryptpad for them but since Cryptpad is not the best tool they are happy to use our Etherpad instead. I had a good talk with Meg and Joe from USPP. I hear that Pirate Party Massachusetts are thinking about applying for observer membership! Also have a letter (thanks Keith) to send to Twitter for our account verification which will hopefully mean less suspensions. Finances are the next thing I want to tackle and I would like to get membership fee invoices sent out, I just need someone to confirm that the invoices I have are the correct ones (see economics section). I’d like to START looking at how/where to run the GA in December and I’d like to suggest December 5th and 6th as preliminary GA dates. I’ve been experiencing some harassment of me personally in addition to the PPI harassment, and I’ve been a bit under the weather mentally as a result. I’ve been taking time to rest while people are on vacation. Is everyone back now?

* Alternates:

* Svein:

* Carlos:

* Bastian:
: I took care of the PPI technique like I do every day. All systems are running fine.
: I took part in Pirate Beer again.

== 5.1 - Proposals ==

Issue: 40 USD registration fee, and list of members who want to attend.
https://uia.org/roundtable/2020/asiapacific/
Submitted by: Keith
Justification:
Motion: If anyone wants to attend, who is interested in Asian NGO issues, then we will consider approving their attendance.

Issue: 2019 Invoices due in 2020
Submitted by: Keith
Justification: We need to start this year's request for dues and follow up on last year. We use the new system this year.
Motion: Create the invoices and send them with a reminder about last year.

:Keith will send an email. Bailey works Tues. and Wed., Thurs. we have the SCURVY meeting. We thus decided to have the finances meeting immediately after the SCURVY meeting. This has been updated into our calendar.

== 5.2 - Working Groups Update ==

: SCURVY meeting on the 27th at 11:00 UTC/19:00 CEST: https://pp-international.net/2020/08/invitation-scurvy-meeting-2/ (having some small formatting issues here)

== 5.3 Economic Update ==

Can somebody confirm that these are the correct invoices to be sent out this year? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t7LGq6IJpOYKhebR-OmEarSbfZA3gzck

== 5.4 ECOSOC/UN ==

*IGF
:Carlos sent something about the IGF invitation. Gregory has a meeting where they brainstormed to submit an application for a Taiwanese internet activist that is involved with the Ground Zero movement. Since there are few who come from civil society, we erased the chance that our submission would be accepted. We could discuss the representation of minority. The deadline is the 24/8. There is a form. Everyone can submit an application. If it is an ECOSOC organization then we can skip some steps. They elect the members for 3 years. Usually we need someone who is 3 times in Geneva, and one time outside.

:We need an etherpad that we can work it out together. Gregory has a meeting tomorrow. He will then update us with a pad that has more details.

:We could use more work to figure out who we will present and how.

==6 AOB - Any other business==

Needs Assessment...how is it going? Are we getting responses and is there any way that we can see them?

* Pirate Beer this Saturday :-)
: Please help me with content for https://pirate-beer.rocks

* Relaunch of Pirate Times in progress, I saved the old content until the end of 2018 via Archive.org

* Next Meeting: 09.09.2020, 18:00 UTC/20:00 CEST
