4 - REPORTS

4.1 - Short reports of the board members

Board

• Keith Goldstein: I finished setting up the UNOV delegates, so we are now registered in all 3 UN centers. I sent a follow up on TT5, and it looks like we will have a meeting next week and simultaneously will publish the call for participants and make it official. We did revise the CFP, so we just need to publish it. I updated our PPI members contact registry a little bit. We really need to update that more, because messages are going to old members. I also attended PSC and Pirate beer. We discussed setting up a blog with statements from numerous parties or a general statement about the current conflict in Iran. I failed to write/help write a decent blog this time.

• Gregory Engels: busy with local elections

• Bailey Lamon: not present

• Alexander Isavnin: not present - Submited via chat: I want to bring apologies - I won’t be able to join board meeting today. But I would like to point out work on IGF have started, we might bring some thematic inputs for this year IGF

• Sebastian Krone:

I monitored the PPI technology as I do every day.

Last Sunday, we prepared the update for Etherpad & Docker.

All patches are up to date. All systems are running smoothly.

I have not yet received a reply from Carlos regarding where to send the password for your mailbox at pp-international.

Kayra is still having problems with her email client, but webmail is working.

I was one of the organizers of the Pirate Security Conference from February 14 to February 15, 2026, and had a lot to do with the technical team.

The PSC and its speakers were brilliant.

I'm still struggling a bit with my heart attack and therefore can't work around the clock.
