5.1 - Proposals
*Introducing the Iran internet shutdown motion to PPEU and informing of PPEU responsibilities/policy.
The receptiveness of PPEU to the PPI-adopted motion on solidarity with the Iranian Freedom Movement |text= During the PPEU GA (council meeting) the motion https://discourse.european-pirateparty.eu/t/solidarity-with-the-iranian-people-calling-for-eu-wide-listing-of-the-islamic-revolutionary-guard-corps-as-a-terrorists/2000 was counter-motioned to be rewritten and resubmitted. Informal discussion however led to the conclusion that such a standpoint is implicitly compliant with the PPEU MandateManifesto and would not require/warrant a motion to be submitted. Rather, a submission of the topic to the board would suffice. Further, PPEU is also an ally of https://www.accessnow.org/.
- We decided that this is a topic of interest that we will continue to monitor.
- TT5 Collaboration with PPEU
{{motion|title= Moving TT5 conference from Vienna to Brussels? |text= After discussions with PPEU and PPAT, it seems we will have better resources and outlets for speakers by hosting the conference in Brussels. All plans are moving ahead, but we update this plan to change the venue. Since we already approved the planning of the conference without regard to its definite location, you can decide whether to vote on our refined plan. We are currently outlining the steps needed to organize the conference. Obviously there will be further revisions as we move to publish the CfP and other materials. For now, I present the pad where we are organizing the conference: https://etherpad.pp-international.net/p/tt5-planning-pad-b0c10ht. Do we agree that we are fine with the planning of the conference as such, if anyone feels there needs to be another vote, we can have one, or move on to the next item of business.
- We will coordinate ASAP with Bastian about the budget for the event.
- Meeting times
Based on the results of our meeting time survey, we seem to have a slight majority on keeping Tuesdays with some voices asking for a weekend and others saying any day but a weekend. I propose that we have a rotating schedule of Tuesdays always at 17:00 and Sundays always at 21:00, or if you all think it is better we could also rotate the times. I consider pushing that time down to 15:00, but I leave this for your feedback.
- We decided that we should stick with the present time, and if anyone has a problem with it, we can consider a rotating system again in the future. For now, always on Tuesdays at 17:00 UTC.
