====Board====
* Keith Goldstein: We are currently running in elections in Israel. We have a lot of big news as Prof. Dan Ariely joined our campaign. I am traveling during the meeting, so I am with you on phone. I prepared a blog about our elections, and I am coordinating with international press. Please forward them to me or vice verus. Please share the message on the elections. In UN news a French Pirate was referred to me named Phillipe and I connected him with UNOG. Carlos also updated me information from UNOG, and Kay from UNOV. I wrote a letter with Kay and had us accepted to UNOT, see below. Our UNHQ activities need some assistance. We secured a venue for the Think Twice conference, and the plans are going ahead well.

* Gregory Engels:
: worked with some board members on aspects of internal communication - wire chat that we are using is blocked in Russsia (only available over vpn) and the push notifications are brocken for some, as is the receiving the messages over multiple devices - we have looked as alternative to set up a telegram chat instead.

* Bailey Lamon:
: not present

* Alexander Isavnin:
: not present

* Sebastian Krone:
: Despite the end of the maintenance contract, I have continued to monitor the PPI technology as I do every day.
: Website theme changed to "Bravada".
: I requested confirmation of the termination but have not yet received a response. I still need this confirmation for our liability insurance - still no response!
: we asked for you again and again to send it to the board. Did you send it to the board? Please send it to the board if you would like a response. Yes, several times with receipt. You should stick to the truth.
: Despite the General Assembly’s resolution on June 20, no one from the board has contacted me to explain what happens next.
: The servers can also simply be shut down immediately if that is what is desired.
: we discussed this in every board meeting. It is not true that we have not contacted you. What is it that you want? When did somebody contact me? You should stick to the truth.
: Please document then when this mail to the board was sent. It is not in my inbox. Maybe there is another problem with sending mails. This does not make sense.

: The screenshot of the the third mail: https://owncloud.ag-technik.de/s/Bn6ZskwXqQnT6wM

After a long debate on the issue of having sent versus having received mail Gregory offered to do technical troubleshooting with Sebastian

* Schoresch Davoodi:

: wrote a critical commentary at starke meinungen on August 31st https://starke-meinungen.de/2026/08/31/wer-immer-klimawandel-schreit-ist-teil-des-problems-nicht-der-loesung/
: visted the Nuklearia Stammtisch in Dortmund (that was why i could not attend the last meeting) and it was interesting; a city council member from the CDU was there; as also different other people and it had been interesting to listen to the dynamics how outside a certain bubble things are seen on different meetings because there is not a universal standpoint as to what would be the solution for the future
: had been asked by diffrent ppl i have personal contact what they need to do to become individual PPI Members because I know a group of people who are interested in. There is a desire from people to become individual members of PPI

* Bart Overkamp:
: I will sadly not be able to stay on for long, but I brought a guest, Marian.

: Marian: "I like to analyse things, write, discuss and have an background in text analysis (objective hermeneutics). My current work is quality management and business sales operations at an Austrian Telecom. Went in my study years to the Model United Nations program" "I'm frustrated by the recent restrictive European Union legislations. With some parts of the parliament trying to get Chat Control 2.0 through, I want to make a difference. I remember the pirate party founding and felt they have the right answers. That's why I attended the local pirate party meeting and met Matej by accident"
