==TOP 2 - Issues of Statements==
: Are there any concerns or proposals?

: Question by Bailey Lamon- What types of technical assistance can PPI provide?
Important goal of starting Pirate parties in countries where there is not yet a party.
After becoming a member, there are growing pains, and we can learn from each other. Helping countries grow their parties.
Connect pirates around the world. There are established parties in some countries and then individuals. There are common issues. Build a solid base.
The globalized world still has borders. Each country can have preferences. We should have a conception about what preferences should exist in other countries.

Discussion on the help with supporting the foundation of new pirate parties.

PPNO: Dmitry Bogatov campaign, #freebogatov

Guillaume: Looking at how to finance and fund projects. Possibilities that UN observer memberships brings with it.

PPFR: A common communication and decision making tool is necessary. In France they are using Discord, and Congressus and it works. Maybe this can work at the international level, and we can work together to establish a free tool that will allow organizations to synchronize their activities. https://discordapp.com/
Comment that Pirates are generally in favor of open source software, and so if there is an open source option that it will get further support.

PPCZ: If PPI could create a starter pack about basic principles and basic templates for registration. Can we create materials to help parties start a movement?

PPDE: PPI should create a database of political manifestos and election programs from Pirate Parties around the world. It should also include the collection of significant political motions brought up by pirates in parliaments. This database should be made available to general public, and the PPI Members should be given the possibility to autonomously update their own entries.

PPIL: It would be great to have a physical location (Geneva? or better place) where pirate could go to and do things together.

==TOP 3 - Statutes Amendments==
* Discussion only

: There was a proposal to make the statutes more understandable
:: https://ppi.piratenpad.de/168

We prepared the statute amendments. We need to present them to our constituents with sufficient time to review, so we will not vote on them in this meeting. However, we do want to bring everyone's attention to the proposed revisions that are available at the above pad. Revisions were proposed in regards to grammar and syntax, as well as content. These revisions should be voted on separately.

Break until 14:45
