PPI Board Agenda 2010-05-25

AGENDA for EXTRAORDINARY PPI BOARD MEETING

--- 25/05/2010---

3 - OPENING REMARKS/ANNOUNCEMENTS

4 - AGENDA

4.1 - Regular meetings (proposed by Jerry)

Due to some people not being able to participate in the meetings on Mondays we have to change the date of the regular meetings. The proposal is Tuesdays 21h00.

4.2 - Next PPI conference (proposed by blaeks)

Sarajevo to be next ppi meeting place. There is a lot of international press, the area was damaged heavily by war and other s*it that happened there. Also, I have connections with some Croats having the initiative to form a PP too. So this meeting will boost pp movement in several big countries in this region.

And FYI today Sarajevo is a great place to be, because of the good food, friendly people and a lot of international presence.

ah, yes the BiH PP would be the only political organization in Bosnia connecting all divided sides from past war!!! also, in the context of freedom invasions this would be monumental for international press if Serbia take over Bosnia with freedom or Croatia. And that is our plan for this summer:)

4.3 - pirateparty.eu (proposed by Jerry)

Helmut Pozimski registered pirateparty.eu and wants so. to take over. PPI should consider taking the domain, especially if an PPE taskforce is set up.

4.4 - MyPirates (proposed by Jerry)

Gregory should give us an update if we can use MyPirates as working platform for the taskforces.

4.5 - Pirate Party of the Week (proposed by Jerry)

PP-Australia has not finished their answers yet. I therefore propose to have PP-Netherlands as Pirate Party of the Week from 26-1st, and after that PP-Belgium (or PP-Australia if PP-Belgium cannot finish).

4.6 - Pirate Party of Latvia (proposed by Gregory)

We have received a mail from the new started PP-LV that is about to be found. They ask us to put them on the roster. We should send them a welcome letter

Prepare the letter here: http://ppi.piratenpad.de/47

4.7 - WIPO (proposed by Gregory)

There is a deadline coming up for applying for permanent observer status with WIPO (the deadline is 28th of May). see http://www.wipo.int/members/en/admission/observers.html - the requirements are:
