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

* ''Board:''

* Guillaume:
: excused

* Bailey: I’ve been working crazy hours and also dealing with some PPCA challenges that I won’t get into here...so I do not have much to report on, aside from continuing to do social media stuff and the Pursuance Project (which you all have been invited to). I also participated in a radio broadcast yesterday (Sunday) about basic income with Ray, Christian Engstrom and a few others, which went very well.

: http://www.spreaker.com/user/anonukire/t0pg3arliv3-anonukradio-basicincome-opsa

* Keith: On baby leave this week. Did some more prep work for TT3. Fixed a location that we can use for the base of the conference, HaMifal, which is an art gallery and public events space that is managed by Noam Kuzar, our Spox of PP-IS. In addition we can rent another location if there is demand from more people that sign up in advance. Please sign up for the event and distribute it. A link is provided below.

* Koen:
: Nothing for PPI, working PPBE summer event

* Nikolay:
: I've provided some photos, videos, comments, translations to foreign journalists about "march for internet freedom" (Moscow, 23.07.2017) and #FreeBogatov campaign orginized by PPRU and other left and right -wing parties and organizations, PPRU did good job as one of organizers of the "march" trying to bring maximum flags and banners we had, and we get good worldwide media coverage

: Also it was first time when the left and right -wing parties went together at a meeting against internet censorship and mass surveillance

* Raymond:
: As usual lots of Activism, still struggling to get enough content for both Twitter accounts, especially @PPInternational. Need to focus on that going forward. Negotiations with IP is ongoing and we have had progress. See own point. Pursuance, see own point. #FreeBogatov, good news and good press. Done a couple of interviews. Huffpost, IBTimes London and Daily Dot planned. Continuing networking with the Spanish speaking Pirate world.

* Thomas:
: nothing to report, will be at pirate summer in Poland starting next weekend.
: Bastian gave an addition about an interview with Channel One Russia which has Thomas had co-organised an Interview about "Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz" (German) - ["anti-hate speech regulation"] <----

: AlexVox_PPI: 1st channel is main propaganda TV channel, and when russian government want to implement restrictions - they starting to tell lies about "same" things in Europe. (known fact, don't care), i'm just afraid that they will provide wrong\fake translation of your interview, they did it in past few times

* ''Alternates:''

* Patrick:

* Adam:

* Gregory:

== 5 - Proposal No. 1 ==

=== 5.1 Financial news ===
:PayPal- Guillaume said that he was setting us up with a PayPal plus account. Is there an update on that?
:Payments- There have been no requests for payments.

=== 5.2 Pirate Conference 2017 (GA) ===
:PP-CZ enquired about whether there were any updates as we are past the due dates that are listed on the Wiki: http://wiki.pp-international.net/PPI_Conference_2017
: I informed them that we delayed the decision until the 26th and would be discussing the conference at this meeting. The website still states "16.07.2017 - discussion of submitted offers (PPI Board meeting)"

: Give in time (deadline) is postponed until the 06th of August 2017. The timeline will be changed accordingly.

: Unanimously accepted

:: http://wiki.pp-international.net/PPI_Conference_2017 changed accordingly

=== 5.3 Membership database ===
* https://tasks.pp-international.net/issues/372

: Miss Kitty Hundal is still working on this. Coding. Nothing to report but there is progress.

=== 5.4 Crowdfunding ===
:TT3 Campaign- A document was set up with linked forms for sponsors, presenters, volunteers, speakers, and participants, which has been updated recently:https://ppi.piratenpad.de/167
So far, only Bastian and Keith have signed up as participants, and only Keith has signed up as a speaker.
: will add myself later, Thomas
: Bastian signed as sponsor, too. ;-)

:Is there an update on posting this information to our website?
:How would you all like to proceed to distribute this, especially targetting speakers?

:General Campaign: The fundraiser CF platforms remain half set up, as I have not had the Paypal for Switzerland or ID numbers there. It would be great to use Gofundme, Kickstarter, or one of the more renowned CF platforms, but most of them require personal or organization identification numbers, which must be from the registered country. So far, we don't have an individual in Switzerland who is willing to provide personal id, nor do we have a registration number in Switzerland. We do have a registration number though for Belgium. Should we use our Belgian PPI HQ and registration number for the CF campaign?

=== 5.5 Pirate Awards ===
:Guillaume said he would send an email to start the discussion with the international representatives, which should take about 4 weeks. Is there an update?

: Guillaume proposed that Ray, Keith, and Guillaume organize the board recommended awards.
: When should this meeting take place? Anytime before 17:00 CEST should be fine.

: postponed, Guillaume's "baby". Him doing it.

=== 5.6 Think Twice Conference ===
: We have a venue that will serve as the base for the event. The Mifal. http://hamiffal.com/ http://hamiffal.com/english/ If we have a lot more people that are interested, or more money to spend, then we can book an additional location. The seating at the Mifal will only be about 50 people. However, it is located downtown and we also have contacts with numerous other halls walking distance away that we can use. So, TT3 can use more than one location when necessary.

=== 5.7 Social media updates ===
: long elaborated report. Please listen to the recording.

: Volunteers are welcome. Contact Bailey or Ray

=== 5.8 Video Campaign ===
: https://tasks.pp-international.net/issues/377

=== 5.9 Monthly outreach meeting ===
* https://pp-international.net/monthly-meetings-for-international-coordination-and-activism/

: Is there another one planned?
:: There will be progress this week.

=== 5.10 Server update ===
: https://tasks.pp-international.net/issues/375
: Have the system engineers on Bastian's team gotten together with Cedrick's team?
: We are working on exchange SSH-Keys. Should be done within this week. (Bastian)

=== 5.11 Statutes revision ===
:https://ppi.piratenpad.de/168
: https://tasks.pp-international.net/issues/376
: I don't have any updates, (Keith Goldstein).

=== 5.12 Article on Using Online Democracy Tools ===

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

* ''Board:''

* Guillaume:
: not present

* Bailey:
: A lot has happened over the last few weeks. In the social media realm, the “Twitter split” that Ray and I have been discussing happened on Friday. So we now have a new “corporate” Twitter account that uses the old handle [@ppinternational], which will focus on PPI only. It will be used to share official PPI statements, info about board meetings or general assemblies, and policy-related stuff. This will be our nice, clean, professional account for official business but more importantly, regular interaction with our members.

: Twitter is playing a big role in helping us get in touch with Pirate Parties who have been out of the international scene for a while or who we didn’t know existed. We have put a lot of work into contacting them and getting their updated information for the contact database. A friend of ours, Kitty Hundal, also helped us put together several lists on the new account, including a list of PPI members, non-members, international coordinators, board, observer members and individuals who support us. The lists are incomplete right now but when they are finished, they will be excellent resources for following and keeping in contact with Pirates around the world. A lot people feel that the mailing lists are ineffective and we need better ways to communicate...Twitter just may be the answer, or part of the answer to that, as these efforts have shown. We’ll see how it works going forward.

: As for the old account, which is now @PPI_Activism...this account is not bound by the same rules as the other one. This account is for not only us, but Pirates around the world to contribute to, whether it’s content that is directly related to a Pirate Party or the Pirate movement, or if it’s political but not necessarily a “Pirate Issue”. We want it all. We want this account to include everything because everything is connected. We are Pirates, and we are part of The Resistance. It will be made clear that what is said on this account is not an official stance of PPI, but the work and opinions of Pirate Activists from all over the world.

: The next thing is membership meetings. We have not done the first one yet, but we haven’t forgotten about it. Contacting the various parties has been the first priority and that will hopefully make the membership meetings more effective, because everyone will know about them rather than just the people we’re already in touch with. While Ray and I are going to organize it and make sure it happens, all of that will be useless without participation from the larger community.

* Andrew: Nothing much to report - Podcast delayed due to unexpected commitments to local politics taking up too much time. I will be able to continue this week.

* Keith:
: not present
: Had been heavy on the cashiers part. Helped out a lot with FB and the Twitter stuff. Still needs somebody to help out with a Swiss ID for registering Paypal-Account in Switzerland. Been busy in the outreach to get in touch with our members. Plus being active on Video-stuff etc. (presented by Raymond) Sorry, arrived late. It's my birthday, and my alarm did not wake me up on time, 4 am. Few financial updates are included below.

* Koen:
: Wrote Pirate Times article about PPEU GA, What todo with PPI HQ? Still need scans of ID card or passport of some board members.

:Link to the PT article: http://piratetimes.net/a-first-for-international-pirates-an-online-asynchronous-council-meeting/

==5 Business==

=== 5.1 Financial news ===
: postponed
: Waiting for the Paypal.

: Received the contact information for our cashiers and obtained an update of our finances, sent the invoices. I still do not have direct access to the bank account, but as long as the cashiers respond promptly it is not urgent. I contacted our lay auditers again but no response. I still do not have a good contact for Henry Hessler, although Ray seems to have had contact with him through SoMe, and they should be contacting me? I sent them a template for the invoices. Czech should be sending us payment. Belarus sent us an email concerned about the payments, and they asked us a question about any rallies?

=== 5.2 Discussion about widening our membership base ===
: Some of us have been thinking about us accepting more members than just pure Pirate Parties. We have all agreed that we should accept a wide range of observer members. We should aim to connect with all types of organisations from all over the globe. Be it Activism Munich or, like in Berlin where we let in the Serbian Internet Party. We should discuss even letting certain Green Party entities become observer members. In addition I feel it is a good idea to dicuss accepting all sorts of NGO's connect with us. FYI: I have contacted Activism Munich asking if they would like to contribute to our @PPI_Activism account.
:Concrete proposal: After getting contacted by the new, not yet publicly announced, leader of the Internet Party of New Zealand it set in motion a series of thoughts that makes me think we should even consider them become full members at this upcoming GA. In cooperation with Bailey I would make sure they got all they needed to fulfill our statues and rules. They have asked us to send them an invitation so that their representatives can attend and present their application. They want to send their volunteer rep King Kapisi, (Link to his Youtube channel)
: Concrete proposal: I would also like to immediately start a project where personal membership, supporters, is possible. I would then take responsibility to run that subgroup and find a sponsor like for instance Protonmail or someone making pirate stash so that a Personal membership has an added value.
: I feel very strongly about waking up our grassroots not only by starting to effectively working with our members but also, as stated, radically widening our base. Or making our doors much wider.

* PPNZ is mixed on supporting an application for the Internet Party of New Zealand as full members. There will be an application and Ray will supply them with all documentation etc. they need.

* We must make sure that on the GA agenda we have statute changes made early in the conference to cover the widening of our membership base. There is already a sub-group on this.

* Ray and Andrew has agreed to share the responsibility of re-starting the personal membership project.

* all accepted unaniomously

=== 5.3 Pirate Conference 2017 (GA) ===
: Draft: https://ppi.piratenpad.de/Conference2017

: General ideas about the upcoming General Assembly
: We should immediately start planning date, place and format. This should happen in membership meetings where we use both the meetings and our Twitter to push our members to come up with ideas both about time and place. I suggest we start using Doodle as often as possible.

:: Is taken care of.

: Sidenote: Much of what I have been thinking about and doing in regards with outreach depends heavily on us getting our email systems to work ASAP. FYI in addition to finding everyone on Twitter and making Lists we will soon also have everyones Facebook pages.
: The next GA should be a Pirate PARTY. By that I mean inviting guests and have music and speakers of high prominence. Present or via uplink. It should be less of boring statues discussions and much more about learning, connecting and having fun.
: This means that someone must as soon as possible make a timetable with exact dates, built around our statutes, and make sure that every member, guest and organizer knows exactly when their input must be sent to us. This requiers a lot of dialogue but we are very close to be able to talk to all of our members very effectively.
: If we do this well, the voting will on each agenda item will be over in 10 minutes making room for filling the day with creative things that makes the GA more of a party than a formal gathering. Remote and local comms and voting must be of a much higher quality that I have seen before. I propose we invite the PPNO tech team run the voting system. In our GA it worked like a charm. Voting via web and phones worked perfectly for the third GA in a row.
: If we add to that that we can discuss each Agenda item using all channels on SoMe BEFORE the GA it makes for a much better and smoother meeting.
: We should establish, very soon a funding drive to sponsor travel costs for those members that live very far from where the GA would be held. Keith, please make a note of it. I will make sure anything you plan gets shared really really wide.
:: Keith will set up an individual Gofundme type page for individual speakers who wish to come from more distant locations. Talk with airline companies and other types of sponsors who will provide discounts and other funds. These issues will be handled in the subcommittee.
: We should invite guests, potential sponsors, politicians, journalists, live tweeters (I have one at the ready) etc. There should be a little room with a good camera and we should make short interviews with as many as we can during the GA ending up with a lot of snippets for sharing on SoMe in the coming weeks. Everyone elected must of course say sth about themselves for a few seconds.

: Ray and Thomas will finalise the "Call for Offers" and send it out a.s.a.p.

: PPNO and others are invited to help out with the votes, PPNO uses "Poll everywhere".

: Video (to and fro) for remotes and guests is an obligation to have.

: Ray would like to follow the sponsoring line, like even ask Flight companies for "sponsored" tickets. Will be handled in the subgroup

=== 5.4 A membership database that covers everyones needs ===
: We are now the owners of the best data that there is out there. I am aware of several projects around the world where everyone is working from their own angles and with different needs and motivations. I would like to be given the trust to identify the different projects and see if it is possible to combine the projects. In my mind any member, be it a member of PP Stockholm, a member of a regional party, a national party, a regional org like PPEU or the universal PPI actually updates their own information. We cant keep working like we have been. We will never get close to unity or making the grass roots grow if we do not solve some of these things.
: I have asked Kitty Hundal to start planning dev of a database that looks at all these elements. For now it is ofc not a coding project, but it could become one if the prep work and planning is done. In PPNO there is a large and strong Tech dept. They are working on a national system. I have asked them to think about what it would take to actually incorporate what I have described in the first paragraph.
: Do I have the boards support in taking this a little further and at a later date present a plan to the board?

: Ray would ask PPNO to help out as they are about to implement something on their own, but available to the public via Github.

: Think about data security and data retention, so individuals are not intimidated.

: Thomas:Single point of contact is a necessity. Whom- or whereever might be the key collector.

: A penetration test is a mandatory. It needs to be repeated. Bastian is certified for penetration test and is the data security officer on behalf of PPDE. So he should be included in the process.

* Motion: Ray and Kitty Hundal will be tasked with exploring the idea and establishing a database to manage PPI membership data and - in addition - a collection of the Pirate Parties worldwide, even if those are not being members to PPI. Non-members are allowed to deliver detailed data on a voluntary basis.

* Vote:
: Yes: Thomas, Ray, Bailey, Guillaume, Keith, Andrew, Koen
: Nay: none
: Abstain: none

* Motion passed unanimously.

=== 5.5 Crowdfunding ===
: Discussion about accepting corporate sponsorship
: Should we accept corporate sponsorship connected to PPI as a whole, connected to specific projects like a conference or even help financing the upcoming general assembly itself. I realize this touches the work that the sub-group of crowd funding is doing, but corporate sponsorship is something that needs to be discussed in principle. It is about independence and keeping our credibility with our base. We will consider a standard template that limits the influence of any sponsor. Keith will draft a template for the next meeting. We will limit how much the sponsor can use our name in their marketing and the leverage that they may hold over us.

I think there should also be a limit to the amount of sponsorship in relation to the total budget. If someone sponsers 90% of your budget they own you regardless of legal contract. (Koen)

* Annotation Thomas: PPI was always open to accept sponsorship. First time it was accepted was in 2011 (GA in Friedrichshafen/Germany)

*Motion: Pirate Parties International (PPI) is eager to get funding through corporate sponsorship for all activities mentioned in the Statutes of PPI. PPI shall evaluate each sponsor beforehand. Obvious unethical entities should not be allowed to sponsor PPI's activities. Basic ethical rules shall be set up by the board and be accepted by the members of PPI. A standard contract drafted by PPI will be sent to potential sponsors so that obligations on both sides should be clear.

* Vote:
: Yes: Koen, Andrew, Thomas, Keith,Ray, Bailey, Guillaume
: Nay:
: Abstain:

* Motion passed unanimously.

* Annotation Koen De Voegt: I think there should also be a limit to the amount of sponsorship in relation to the total budget. If someone sponsers 90% of your budget they own you regardless of legal contract

: Keith volunteers to present a draft for a "standard contract"

* Motion: PPI will set up initial crowdfunding campains on Indiegogo, Gofundme, and other crowdfunding platforms specifically for the upcoming General Assemblies and a general fund for PPI events and a video campaign. Other aims might be evolving out of it.

* Vote:
: Yes:Andrew, Ray, Thomas, Keith, Bailey, Guillaume, Koen
: Nay:
: Abstain:

* Motion passed unanimously

: Keith will be responsible for drafting the initial account and is in charge for the time being.

* [23:04] 5-minute break by initiated by Ray
* [23:11] Meeting continues

=== 5.6 Should we establish and actually present a yearly Pirate award at this years GA? ===
* We would have to create a commitee or subgroup for this making sure we get judges from outside of our inner circles. It can be one for Activism and one for Political Pirate work.

: awards are meant in a positive way.

: this should be different to awards been given for competitives among e.g. you pirates.
: what should be the award be like, just a "trophy", a given part of money for whatever etc.

* Motion: PPI will ask the members to bring forward nominees and proof for the work those nominees have achieved. This will be deciced upon only once by the board. The upcoming General Assemblies will elect a subgroup to decide upon it in the future on a regular basis. It is up to the General Assembly to decide upon how often and even give the basic rules for presenting an award to people proposed for it for doing "good work".

* Motion: The board has today decided to present a motion to the GA2017 with the goal of establishing a yearly Pirate Award. For this years GA we will recognize a few people based on nominations from our members.

* Vote:
: Yes:
: Nay:
: Abstain:

* Motion...

: Item postponed to the next meeting (26.06.2017 08:00 CEST)

=== 5.7 Think Twice Conference ===
: Some answers are still be awaited, esp. the rough month it should start.
: PP Israel is working hard on it.

: We found that a lot of academics don't like to be associated with politics. Finding the right ballance between academics, politics and activism was kind of the idea. Not about doing activism during the conf, but having on or two established actived presenting their work in a conference setting.

=== 5.8 Social media updates / Would it be a good idea to run competitions among our grassroots? ===
: We could have many different competitions, (all ran from social media)
: - Submit a video of yourself with a statement, rant or policy idea
: - A meme competition
: - Making pirate graphics
: - Best idea for tech dev of for instance an application that could be used by all pirate parties
: Prizes could be one off hoodies, pens... etc even simply personal membership, a diploma or getting their work shared widely around the world through our social media. Recognition....

: go for it. Unanimously. Reporting is appreciated.

=== 5.9 Podcast Idea ===
: will continue, there will be another meeting soon. (Friday 16th, June 2017, 21:00 CEST - Skype maybe plus "hangouts")

=== 5.10 Video Campaign Idea ===
: Concept of short approximately two minute pilots. Let's just keep practicing.

=== 5.11 Monthly outreach meeting ===
: We are still in the contact phase to add parties and people as well. See the Twitter compain, we wan't reach out to all we can reach!

=== 5.12 ECOSOC etc. ===
: Answers to the Committee had been given. No official news yet. We can assume that our membership application is postponed by the ECOSOC sub group.

=== 5.13 Server update ===
: Guillaume is going to hand over the access to AG Technik Brandenburg

==6 AOB - Any other business==
: none

:Postal votes: none

=== 3 Short Reports ===

: Moved to the next meeting. (Saturday 2015/02/21 )

=== 4 Online General Assembly ===

* Motion from Bastian

: a) The oGA is postponed to 22.03.2015 10.00 hrs. CET. The invitation for this is dispatched in time.

: b) Items on the agenda are: RoP, decision upon affiliation fees, AOBs.

: c) The oGA will be prepared by the board.

: d) All the other decisions to oGA are withdrawn hereby.

* Straw Poll:

: In favour: Gregory, Thomas, Bastian, Stathis,Marco

: against: Koen, Anders

:: (no abstentions, as they are "hidden no votes" and it is straw poll, no ruling)

: The motion is withdrawn by Bastian stating to be in favour of the combined motions mentioned below.

: Gregory: we have a standing RoP decided by our members. It can be changed at the beginning of each General Assembly (GA) this includes online GA's.

* Comment from Gregory: Take into considerations that we have a standing RoP's for General Assemblies (normal and extraordinary ones) and proceed according to them. Provide suggestions to the GA on how to change them in order to make a pure online proceedings more efficient. But for now we need to point out that parties need to accredit their delegations in the way described in the RoP's

http://wiki.pp-international.net/Rules_of_procedure

* Proposal from Anders

: I: The board gives a new deadline for the oGA on 15. April.2015

: II: The board sends out a new request to the members on preparing resources to conduct the oGA on behalf of PPI.

: III: When the resources to conduct the oGA is in place the final dates for the oGA is set by the board. Not with votes, but according to deadlines as mentioned in the Statutes section IX.

* Straw Poll:

: In favour: Gregory (but preference of Bastian), Thomas (as Gregory sais), Marco, Anders, Stathis

: against: Bastian, Koen

::(no abstentions, as they are "hidden no votes" and it is straw poll, no ruling)

: Thomas: a lot of parties did think the online GA had been cancelled within last meeting. E.g. for this reason parties didn't send in any amendments, motions, you name it. So I would suggest to postpone the oGA for a week or two so our members can be an active part of the oGA.

* Combinded proposal out of Bastians and Anders motion (by Gregory):

: a) The oGA is postponed to 29.03.2015 10.00 hrs. CET. The invitation for this is dispatched in time.

: b) Items on the agenda are: RoP, decision upon affiliation fees, AOBs.

: c) The oGA will be prepared by the board. The board sends out a new request to the members on contributing resources to conduct the PPI's oGA.

: d) All the other decisions to oGA are withdrawn hereby.

:(Bastian would withdraw his motion in favour of the combined one as already mentioned above), as does Anders with his proposal.

:(roman-catholic Easter is 05. April 2015, orthodox Easter is April, 12)

: Bastian: this should be done very swiftly, cause the deadline is very close)

: Koen: I see a problem in setting up the agenda, we should rather ask our members on the agenda items.

: Gregory: we still have a regular GA coming up in July, with two days time that a lot of what could not be covered by the oGA could be covered then. I feel that introducing new deadlines and rounds of negotiation just overly complicate things and do not bring us forward. In the past consultations only PP-AU (and previously only PP-CH) have contributed, so it seems that there is no that big interest to contribute resourced in preparation of the oGA, so we just should go with it (and still asking our Memebers to contribute), but not create new additional deadline)

: Anders: If one third of the members want a desicion made between ordinary GAs, or the board so decides, there is always opportunity to have an online voting from case to case when needed. As decided during the Paris GA.

* Votes on the combinded proposal:

: in favour: Bastian, Gregory, Anders, Stathis

: against: Koen

: abstain ( a "hidden no vote"): Thomas, Marco

:: '''motion passed'''

: personal comment from Thomas, as I am still a subject to CoA I will abstain on any ruling as said in the meeting of the board on 08.02.2015. My vote would have been in favour.

: personal comment from Marco, I abstain, cause my status is not really clear, because PP-AU have disputed the presence of a 6th board member. I would anyway voted in favour

* Ammendment motion by Marco:

:<s>Marco: Send out a request for comments on the combined proposal to members with a deadline and vote after having their input</s>

: Ammendment motion is withdrawn by Marco.

: Thomas will take care of the communication to the members. For the invitation he will send it out as well, assisted by the board in the preperation.

=== 5 pp-leaders and pp-leaders.discussion - Terms of Use ===

: Thomas: As there is a need to have clarifcation about the use of those mailing lists, like who shall have access, who can see who is on the list, define rules for the standard of communication and so forth.

: Gregory: I would also ask the current subscribers of the pp.leaders list to open up the archives of the lists for general public. (maybe from a certain point in time).

: Task: draft proposal rules (terms of use) for pp.leaders and present it at a following meeting. Opinions of our Members are to be taken into considerations.

=== 6 AOB (being urgent) ===

: Koen: I have got a paperwork from Thomas for Paribas. - Question to Bastian if he have sent his signature to Paribas directly?

: Bastian - I have not done this yet, as I am not responsible for that account - i do not have the right to assign on anything, so I have felt that there is no need in my signature.

: Koen - will doublecheck with the bank.

====Results of the postal votes====
*1. Registration of the new PPI board and the PPI HQ judicial body. Suggestion for decision:
:"For this boards elected period all ordinary board members are appointed members of the PPI HQ body. PPI HQ is a formal body needed to adapt to local laws and regulations for international non-profit organisations. Thomas Gaul is in a previous meeting appointed General Secretary of PPI HQ and some board members are appointed as part of the official PPI HQ body."

:no: Gregory, (1)
:abstain: (0)
:alternates: Yasin: Yes
:Comment Gregory: no need to do this, it is already handled and on the way. doing now a new assembly of the HQ and writing new minutes etc would only slow down everything and is contra productive.

*2. Proposed decision:
:"Open a new bank account registered to PPI HQ (AISBL) to ease the transfer of the funds of the account from board to board after each GA. For this board the bank accounts can be handled (as procurators) by Sebastian Krone, Koen De Voegt and Maša Čorak, each of them alone when needed on behalf of PPI and PPI HQ. The bank account should be in an international bank as board members will be from different parts of the world in the future and to ease the transfer of the rights to use the bank accounts for their purposes the bank accounts has to be registered in the name of PPI HQ with the organisation number (VAT-number) BE 0845.017.775. New boards will then only need to register new board members and appointed PPI HQ members, and changes if statutes if any, with Belgium authorities to get access to PPI funds and bank accounts."

:yes: Stathis, Anders, Masa, Thomas, Bastian, Koen (6)
:no: Gregory, (1)
:abstain: (0)
:alternates: Yasin: Yes
:Comment Gregory: Thomas Gaul is statutory the one who needs to be in the access of any bank accounts, as he is the Secretary of the PPI HQ in his role as PPI’s CAO. By allowing your suggestion to pass we would make it impossible for a bank to open an account for us, since it would contradict the statutes. (and yes, they do read and check those little details)
*3. In order to get sponsors, donations and other financial means to be able to keep PPI's side of the agreement in time for the conference the following board decision is suggested:
:"Sebastian Krone gets the permission to open a bank account on behalf of the ThinkTwice conference immediately handling as a minimum EUROs and Turkish Lira. The bank account will be opened in Germany and will be available in Turkey as well. Sebastian Krone and Dr. Arif Yıldırım will have full rights (act as procurators) to sign each of them alone to cover expenses on PPI's hand during the preparations of the conference, during the conference and after the conference. The PPI board must be held informed on a regular basis about the status of the account(s).
:Larger amounts has to be cleared with at least half of the TT214 PPI Organizing Team before spending. Costs that are already accepted in board meetings, and discussions in board channels, as needed to arrange the conference can be used by the two procurators when needed.
:A full expense sheet is to be published after the conference and presented to the board and all PPI members.

:yes: Stathis, Anders, Masa, Thomas, Koen (5)
:no: Gregory, (1)
:abstain: Bastian (1)
:alternates: Yasin: Yes
:One vote is missing but all three have been accepted. An additional vote from Arif as alternate member of the board (yes on all three) has been noted.
:Comment Gregory: I would love to see the account to be opened in Germany or somewhere else, I however object to give Dr. Arif Yildirim procuration of this account. It can all be handled through standard invoice process, so that the transparency and accountability could be maintained.
:Gregory: also, according to my memory, Yasin Aydin was elected as alternate Member of the board, Arif did not stand in the election, I find it somewhat confusing receiving an email from Arif with votes as "alternate member"…
:Yasin: Gregory, can you please explain the situation? On PPI-GA, I have talked to Arif via email and he said he was in the GA only for visiting. I also have voted yes, as an elected alternate board member.
=== 3 Short Reports ===
*Bastian:
:Still working on the bank account. The Pirate Party Germany will give us a sub-account (available as a trustee).
:Bank account for the TT 14 commissioned.
:Otherwise kindergarten. Unfriendly mails and letters processed.
:All problems with PPI registration discussed with K. Rapatinski (BE and DE -lawyer).
:Thomas
:Done the part with the GA2015.Routine stuff.
:Gregory: Minor administrative tasks on the servers.
:Koen: Executed PPI HQ registration as decided by postal vote
:Anders: TT214, got Julia confirmed, Smári is confirmed if the conference is able to pay his travel expenses and one night stay in Istanbul. Birgitta will confirm any time this week. Has been producing abstracts on her behalf after a long talk to her. She will write one abstract herself. I will contact her again latest tomorrow to see if she is ready and able to speak at TT214. Worked with suggestions to solve urgent issues related to TT214 both on speakers and sponsors and donators to finance the conference for what is needed from PPI's hand.
:Stathis: I participated in organizing a meeting between 15 Greek parties and movements in Athens http://piratetimes.net/ppgr-uses-political-trojan-horse-in-elections/ an initiative of PP-GR. Now working on the 2nd meeting (to be held tomorrow). Also, I participated remotely in real life meeting of the Board in London
=== 4 Real life meeting in London ===
:aftermath
*Is there a need for a further fire drill?
:Will the audio recordings be published? preferably as always on archive.org (Gregory can assist in that)
:Thomas: London was very expensive. Since everything is payed personally by individual board member, should we ever be organizing an in person meeting, we should do it somewhere much cheaper. And we should try to organize another one, as we had a lot left on our agenda. we should aim for september/november.
:Koen: I think we could do the same work, if we would just meet online more often.
:Thomas: we still should meet face to face, since it is more productive and there are less chances for building up misunderstanding and negative energy.
:Gregory: The board members had to pay ~300 GBP just for the meeting places, this probably could have been avoided in other parts of the word. But generally I support the idea of another physical meeting.
*Motion Thomas: Not to decide today on a date or place to meet, but on the fact to meet again this year after the #TT14.2 Next meeting then decide on the date and place to meet.
*Counter-motion Anders: we wait for the PPEU board to decide when their meeting in Brussels will be. this will be decided on the next PPEU board meeting (that is on the same time as the PPI Meeting)
:(this is contered by Thomas: PPI should focus on its own stuff, as should do PPEU)
:Anders withdraw his motion.

:PP-NO and YP-NO are willing to give interest free loans to the ThinkTwice2 Conference in Istanbul at € 1.000,- each, in total € 2.000,- to use for expenses for TT214. The loans will formally be given to PPI/PPI HQ and only after PPI/PPI HQ have official bank accounts connected to a registered organisation as required by the statutes.
:Both PP-NO and YP-NO will confirm the offers in emails to the board some time this evening, latest tomorrow. YP-NO has promised to send their offer tonight to the board. The loans will not have any required specific payback date to aid PPI to get ThinkTwice2 organized. So the loans will not lead to any pressure on the current board if PPI is not able to pay back with this boards budget.

== 3 Short Reports ==
*Gregory: I was immersed in the election campaign and could not do much for the PPI in the last weeks but only some activities. I have submitted a new application for WIPO observer admission as today was the deadline (17h Geneva time). Last week I have attended the public stakeholder meeting of the 5th negotiation round of TTIP in Washington and had very good conversations there, including an invitation from the EU chief negotiator on digital agenda for a meeting with him in Brussels to explain the pirate parties vision on what should be included in a "modern trade agreement". I also had an online meeting with the Pirate Party of El Salvador. I also have visited PP-PL in Warsaw last weekend.

*Stathis: I was very much involved with local elections and euroelections in Greece as candidate and had the chance to go out in the streets and talk with people, trying to spread the pirate ideology and persuade them to vote for the Pirate Party. Although the result of 0,90% may seem poor (a 3% needed in Greece for a party to elect a MEP), PP-GR’s coalition with Greens Ecologists for the euroelections, gave Greek Pirates a lot of popularity (their logo appeared in TV bars, web, etc, also their candidate were invited in TV and radio channels) and experience. Fyi, GE & PP-GR ranked 13th among 42 parties that ran for the euroelections. Congratulations to Julia Reda on her election to the European Parliament, being now the only Pirate MEP we have in the EP. I think we should take advantage of Julia’s presence in the centre of decision making, to promote our principles and fight for our rights.

*Bastian:
:I work very hard to open a bank account - together with PPUK :)
:Recording of all member data.
:Also, I've hired a secretary, Eik Wassberg.

*Thomas: something internationally concerning some very time consuming election campaign, beside this nothing of importance to report

== 6 Press work / Social Media ==
:Thomas: Nothing to report tonight. It have been a scheduled meeting with exactly one person (Thomas), this probably due to the election load of all the parties. More needs to be discussed in RL in London.

== 7 Second ThinkTwice conference ==
*Message from Arif:
:Lady and gentlemen now we have FULL approvement for thinktwice2 in istanbul by rector and the head of the board of trustees of university... Now we can work on it.. I am so sorry it took some more time that expected... Now i am building an academic board for the conference and prepare the PDF file with the info for call for everything except venue place..

:Stathis: +1 to Gregory

:Date: Weekend 31st August / 01st September in Istanbul
:TODO: Anders to schedule a meeting with Arif and Gregory to discuss the details of imlementation.

== 9 Financial Situation ==
*No news. :-(
:Accounting software is ready (SKR03 english) - we can book all necessary items.
:Gregory is still writing up the history and details about the money/bank accounts. Until 2012 is covered so far. He will continue and is still trying to fetch some yet unavailable information. Esp. we need to contact the office of Christian Engström for reconstruction of documentation from the EP visiting money during the PPI founding conference, as there seems to be conflicting numbers. Gregory will help on it.
:Koen is still trying to be in contact with the "old" treasurer.

:Opening a bank account with the support of the PP-UK is delayed due to the change of requirements from PPI treasurer (having the account in EUR and GBP, rather then just GBP). This have caused some additional paperwork and this is the source of the delay. Bastian is working close with Sam.

== 10 PPI Headquarter ==

:The change of PPI HQ board members can be arranged without the need of notary with just one signature. Julia is planning right now to take over the former office of Amelia (the final decission will be taken in three days time), so we can plan to keep the address. Andy will pass on a summary of findings of the problems with PPI HQ statutes.

*Gregory: motion to change the PPI HQ board members now, and to fix the statues of HQ in a later step.
:in favour: Thomas, Gregory, Bastian, Anders, Stathis, Koen
:against:0
:abstain:0

*TODO: Koen to execute.

*to decide: to recomend the PPI HQ Board to admit new members to PPI HQ, namely the current board of PPI (Koen, Masa, Bastian, Anders and Stathis. Gregory and Thomas are already members of PPI HQ)

== 11 UN / WIPO / ITU / WSIS ==
:Request to appoint Richard Hill (member of PP-CH) to attend the WSIS+10 open consultation process meeting ( http://www.itu.int/wsis/review/2014.html ) at WIPO headquarters in Geneva as an observer with no power of engagement. A formal letter should be sent to him appointing him as a formal PPI observer, so that he could push for the acceptance of the PPI WIPO observer application. Richard is already accredited for this meeting.

*In favour: Gregory, Thomas, Sebastian, Koen, Stathis, Anders

*21.50 hrs.: Meeting interrupted until 22:05 hrs.
*22:05 hrs.: We switched to HQ-PPI-Meeting.
*22:48 hrs.: Continuing meeting.

== 12 AOB (being urgent) ==
*Gregory: Congratulation to the new elected pirates taking up the newly elected 217 seats in Germany. https://piratenpad.de/p/Sitze

*Brief statement from AH from the PPUK.
:It has been noted by PPUK that a failure to deal with past issues within PPI was raised on the European Elections, and whilst it had no real impact this time and the issues raised were inaccurate or misrepresentations to a large extent, they are not helped by an apparent ongoing lack of accountability and lack of clarity on past issues. PPUK would ask that this be taken into account and highlight the need for PPI to be more open and clear about its internal processes.
:GE agreed that making it easier to find details on some of those issues would be beneficial and help to diffuse the issue
:AH also noted that pre-election contact from the UK Green Party, specifically a discussion with PPI members was not passed on to PPUK which resulted in some confusion. PPUK wanted to reiterate that PPI can not represent Pirate Party UK on national political issues at any level.
:GE has already been in touch with PPUK to explain that and suggested improvements to ensure that contact between parties is improved.
*TTIP approach dates - When will gregory be talking to national parties about their approaches to TTIP and trade agreements?
:GE made it clear there would be a consultation in advance.
*Anders asked to close the meeting tonight: it is his time now: Allowed by the chair of the meeting.

===Next Meeting===
*Next Meeting: Ordinary Meeting Tuesday 2014/06/10 20:00 CEST

PPI CoA/Rules of Procedure

2014-04-20T18:51:27Z

BastianBB: /*CAT*/

Following sentence 2011-1-A, the Court of Arbitration issues the following provisional rules of procedure. These rules are to be considered temporary until ratified or rejected by the next meeting of the General Assembly, which has the power to approve internal regulations according to art. (X) paragraph (h) of the Statutes.

The actual procedure has been to accept external complaints, to begin a self-initiated procedure and to pass rulings when a simple majority of four members was reached.

== PROVISIONAL RULES FOR THE CoA ==

=== COMPLAINT PROCEDURES ===
Complaints must be presented to the Court by email at the address <coa@pp-international.net>.
Requests outside the boundaries of the following descriptions will be treated on a case-by-case basis.
The Court will, if needed, begin a self-initiated procedure, acknowledging the board and the members of PPI through the pp-leaders mailing list if such a need arises.

==== Complaints against PPI organs, PPI members or PPI officers ====
In case of complaints against a PPI organ, member or officer, the complaint shall be sent to the Court and CCed to the board and the PPI address of the interested person and, if known, to his personal email address. Complaints can be filed by a PPI member or a PPI organ and must contain or give a direct link to the complete description of the complaint and the relevant documents.

The Court of Arbitration acknowledges the reception of the complaint within two days after any of its members has read it. The Court of Arbitration can issue a motivated reject of the claim within one week from this acknowledgement. The Court of Arbitration must issue a rule within thirty days since the complaint was acknowledged.

==== Anonymous complaints ====
Anybody can contact either the Court of Arbitration or one of its member by the channel of his choice to issue a complaint about the functioning of the PPI or the PPI by itself, provided they are suspected of a violation of the PPI Statutes, of the Pirate Party movement core values, or would be victims of such a suspected behaviour.

The Court of Arbitration then decides whether the claim seems well-grounded, and if so can initiate an own intended procedure without the need of disclosing the identity of the complainant. This decision is sent to both the complainant and the PPI officers, organs or members the complaint is referring to, and is subject to the same time limits applied to regular complaints.

==== Requests for opinions, declarations or rulings on legal acts of PPI organs ====
Requests regarding declarations on matters of fact or rulings regarding the validity of legal acts of PPI organs can be requested by a PPI officer, a PPI organ or a PPI member. In case of rulings on legal acts of PPI organs, the interested organ must be CCed.
Opinions can be requested by anyone, but the Court will issue such an opinion only if considered relevant for PPI and its members.
If the opinion requested is considered particularly relevant to PPI the Court may decide to open an own-initiated "request for declaration on a matter of fact".

==== Requests for mediations ====
Requests for mediation can be sent by one or more PP members and all the involved parts must agree on the requests.

=== COURT PROCEDURES ===
When a case is brought to the Court, two members of the Court will be appointed to be the coordinator and the secretary for the ongoing proceeding.
At any point of the procedure, a majority of the Court of Arbitration members can change the coordinator or the secretary for a case, and cancel any decision they have taken.

==== Complaints ====
In case of complaints against persons or PPI organs, the coordinator will solicit, if needed, a defensive script and a reasonable period of time to reply, that cannot be less than five days in case of urgent matters. If needed, the coordinator also set up in the same conditions a period of time for the discovery of evidence and the hearing of testimonies.
When the coordinator declares a discussion on a case finished, a ruling will be issued.

==== Mediations ====
In case of requests for mediation the appointed coordinator will request the PPI members for a list of Mediators willing to help. The coordinator will ask the parties to elect the mediators they accept. In case more than one is accepted by all the parties, they can ask the coordinator to extract one of them.
In case the mediation is declared failed by any of the party and they agree on requesting a Court ruling, the matter will be discussed by the Court members.

==== Rulings ====
The secretary will write a ruling draft and send it to the rest of the Court of Arbitration for review. Any member of the Court of Arbitration can suggest modifications to the draft.
Once the text has been fully approved by a majority of the Court of Arbitration members, a deadline is fixed for the remaining members to either approve, abstain or express a dissenting opinion. This deadline should be of at least two days, but in case of emergencies this delay can be shorter.
A ruling will contain the date of the ruling, the description of the case, and both the ruling of the majority of the Court and the dissenting opinion(s), if any. It will be published on the PPI wiki, on the PPI general mailing list and sent to the interested parties, PPI members and the PPI board. The ruling will become enforceable immediately, if a different lapse of time is not specified in the ruling itself.

==== Power delegation ====
A member of the Court of Arbitration can delegate his power to another member of the Court of Arbitration, for each and every vote described in the current rules of procedure. A member of the Court of Arbitration shall not be delegated more than one power at a time.
