4 - AGENDA

4.1 - Rules of procedure modifications (proposed by Jerry)

As discussed last week here is a proposal to change the rules of procedure to allow the board to be more flexible: http://ppi.piratenpad.de/94

Proposed change in §5 of the PPI board rules of procedures:

§5 Votes

(changes are in bold)

1. Only members of the board are entitled to vote. 2. A vote is only valid if more than half of the members of the board present at the meeting are in favor of the proposal. If less than four board members are present at the meeting, the decision has to be unanimous. 3. Board members not present at the meeting can vote on an item on the agenda if that item has been published by mail to board@pp-international.net and the board member clearly expressed his vote in an answering e-mail to board@pp-international.net.

Proposal Failed (Yes: 3| No: 0| Abstain: 1).
