* From Bastian:

: What are the considerations for moving the PPI headquarters (seat) to Luxembourg?
: Is the Chairperson aware of the tax consequences of this? That we are a Swiss association, all tax obligations (tax reporting and returns) are taken care of by Postfinance Suisse. We have nothing to do there.
: That's why we have the P.O. Box in Geneva, because we need an address in Switzerland, since PPI has its headquarters in Switzerland. It was a lot of work to solve the problem.
: 20 francs per year are peanuts.
: All my mails and post to PP-Luxembourg remained unanswered until now.
: We would need a decision of the General Assembly to move the seat from Switzerland to Luxembourg.
: We know, what it means if we don't fulfill our obligates (some thousand Euro as fines n Belgium).

Joe (guest): I have a question regarding the Funds collected for the Pirates4Ukraine campaign. what happened with those funds?
: All have been transferred to the entity that it was collected for - everything is very transparent recorded in our wiki: https://wiki.pp-international.net/wiki/index.php?title=Finances/AidUkraine - all collected funds have been transfered on 14.06.2022 to the SocEntLab, thats the NGO that Svein is working with
: Bastian: we never from them on how they used the funds that we have transferred.

*in other news:
