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.
