Travis: difficult to participate, always can come to meeting but no CAO duties, needs to be someone else to take the role of CAO Gregory: Travis performed well and there was no big issues. Maybe Nuno should take it from now on, definitely should be sort out before PPI HQ is set. Asks Travis to carry on with the duty of CAO until the next PPI meeting? Lola. also to ask Patrick, mentioning that PPI HQ scanning passports.Asks Travis to wait with the final decision for 2 weeks. Travis: no problem with staying with CAO role if it can create a big issue with PPI HQ, just to be aware there are difficulties.

7 - Question from PP Switzerland

Dear Board of the PPI,

To be able to go on court against the Court of Arbitration of the PPI
and the PPI as its legal personality the PP Switzerland kindly requests
the board to clarifiy which is the proper juristiction.

One of the judges of the court of arbitration told me that belgian law
was not used:

And we most certainly are not bound by belgian law

The swiss pirate party sees basically 2 possible viewpoints:

1.) Foundation and Headquater are in Belgium, therefore the proper
juristiction is belgium.
2.) Every Member nation can file the complaint in their own
juristiction, in our case we would file the complaint in Valorbe,
Switzerland.

The PPI Board should get legal advice immediatly, to resolve this issue.

Kind Regards,
Thomas Bruderer,
President Pirate Party Switzerland

-> Move to next board meeting, we need to clarify this.

NEW REDMINE +2 Weeks
