: Vojtech: In upport in spirit of the original CZ proposul to elect to the board all the people that have the will and support.

: Gregory: There is a separate mailing list for the alternate board members but they didn't have access to the board mailing list (neither write nor read). They already have access to the Redmine and Pad today.

== 9 General Assembly 2014 ==

: Gregory: We should start organizing next physical GA - we would need to discuss some facts first.
: first: location - Prefer Application from - e.g. South America, Oceania, Asia, North America? - Europa only as the very last option/fallback?
: Vojtech: Good organization is more important than a remote location
: Thomas: We need enough time to organize.
: Nuno: The task of the board is to organize and set up the meeting, not to choose the location. We should let the members decide on that.
: Thomas: Objects. We will be taken into the responsability if something goes wrong so we have to decide on almost everthing which happens at the assembly.
: Gregory: In the past the board has decided, taking into consideration the location, prize, etc. I agree that our members can choose with the same competency as we do and we could also work out a proposal.
: Nuno: Ack.
:Vojtech: Is the decision on location a pure executive, or a political one?
:Gregory: it can't be separated from each other.
: Thomas: We can still ask our members what they think what would be the best decision and take their opinion into account.
: Nuno: If the members want it to be in a certain place we must do it there because otherwise it would be against the will of our members.

: Motion: Board rises an issue to E-democracy system to select the organizer and location of the next GA meeting out of proposals submited to the board that meets the criteria in the Call for Hosts.

: Vojtech: Shouldn't we pass our RoP to the GA to decide upon?

; Vojtech: I am OK with that.

=== 12.2 AOB2 Language for PPI: British or American English? ===

: Raised by Thomas.
