== 4 - REPORTS ==
=== 4.1 - Short reports of the board members ===

====Board====

* Keith Goldstein: Still coordinating TT5. We have a good line up already, but there is still time to submit a proposal. Please do so. Aside from that, I announced the GA and submitted statute amendments on behalf of PPCZ. They have since updated their proposal, but they leave a variety of options open for debate. I also submitted a statute amendment from my party with this to eliminate the 1 month deadline for membership applications. Next week I am going to the Global Solutions Initiative conference in Berlin with PPEU members: https://www.global-solutions-initiative.org/event/global-solutions-summit-2026/ . I am also going to the Network Automation Forum conference in Munich, which I will be attending with our partners from the IGF and presenting the study that was the subject of our workshop there.

* Gregory Engels: I was on vacations for last month.

* Bailey Lamon: not present

* Alexander Isavnin: Nearly nothing to report, watching for IGF preparation development

* Sebastian Krone:
: I monitored PPI technology as I do every day.
: All patches are up to date. All systems are running smoothly except Etherpad (MyPads) due to a new version of PHP. The update to EP 2.6.1 was not approved by the PPI Tec team.

* As I already mentioned in the last Board meeting the contract with Denk Selbst e.V. has terminated the technical services contract effective June 30, 2026.
: I asked for confirmation of the cancellation but haven't received a reply.
: I need this confirmation for our liability insurance.
: Still no reply!

* A new group must now take over everything and operate it in a way that ensures reliability and compliance with legal regulations. Our support ends on June 30, 2026, at midnight.
: I don't see any efforts being made to ensure that these rather extensive tasks and services are carried out by new professionals.

* Maycow Toledo: not present

* Carlos Polo: not present

* Grigorii Dizer: sent excuses, nothing to report

====Alternates:====

:In the European Pirates calendar.
