4 - AGENDA

4.1 - Conference planning (proposed by Jerry)

Current plans are the following:

• 35€ participation fee for first 4 weeks (50€ for late registration)
• Voting will be done on paper to save time, no "moderated" discussion for amendments (all amendments available at least 1 week before + distributed during conference)
• Open Space Conference for PPI related and Pirate topics
• New members presentation on Saturday, board candidates presentations and speaker on Sunday
• Remote voting procedure still to be determined (definitely safer than last conference)

Open questions:

• Is the registration page ready? Nearly. Database ready, subdomain will be set up, text has still to be changed.
• Participation fee: what is the deadline for late registration? 4 weeks. Directly paid to PP-Friedrichshafen.
• Summary provisional agenda ok? Can we communicate it like that? (see http://int.piratenpartei.de/PPI_Conference_2011#Timetable )
• How will remote delegates be able to participate? SStill to be determined.
• Is it confirmed that Piraten-Streaming will do the streaming? Very probably.
• Who is going to speak on Sunday on what topic? Still open.
• Look for sponsons to fund conference? Gregory will work out a proposal for next meeting.
