• Sebastian Krone:

I have been monitoring the PPI technology as I do every day.

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

The PPI association has been founded. On 27.09.2024, Alexander Kohler and I went to the notary and registered the association with the registry court.

It will take about 1 month until it is registered. I will report further.

I have also set up the technical requirements for the professional security of our social accounts: SIM card, secure email accounts, secure website. Unfortunately, I have not yet received any data.

On the subject of Discourse: We will install it on a new VM, but first need to test if the data from the backup is compatible with a new installation. Tests are currently underway.

5.1 - Proposals

• UN submission will be made soon using our existing NPO papers.

• GA should be no later than the 9th of January.

The term is not an exact year. We have a rotating system, so in any case we have a chair. It is not necessary that we exactly stick to the 24 months. We are flexible. If you elect a board in May, it goes for two years until the May two years later. We had an issue in the past with the official duties of the chairperson, which is why we had to delay the start of a new board until after the GA. We have issues if we have less than 3 remaining board members, in which case we would need an extraordinary GA. The term officially started on Jan. 8th of the current board, so we should have it no earlier than Jan. 8th. We should try to have it soon after Jan. 8th.

• Setting up a crowdfunding campaign. The reason for having the organization in Germany was so we could apply for funding.

• IGF. Alex will coordinate a meeting to discuss our presentation.

• Pirate Beer. We had two interesting points. We had new members, who are trying to communicate with other pirates. They are participating in numerous chats, and we are trying to coordinate. Austrian Pirates participated and expressed further the tension with the German Pirates. They seem to be returning, but they seem to have issues still and we don't know how to resolve. They were concerned about the UNOV passes not being issued, and Keith encouraged them to send those passes. The way is free for us to refresh our relationship with the French Pirates and other movements, following a discussion that was had recently.
