8:51
Postponed from the previous board meeting.
Who should be the primary administrator? The current primary administrator account is thomas.gaul@pp-international.net. As far as I understand this is a contact e-mail address for service communications, including payment notifications, and any opt-in subscriptions.
Postponed until Thomas and Gregory can clarify.
Thomas got the primary function from Gregory. Ask Gregory for more details. Is the Swedish guy still paying ?

( Put this in Redmine ) 9:00
Postponed from the previous board meeting.
The PP-SI asked for this. According to Slovenian laws they can't export personal information out of the EU.
Additional questions/remarks:
- What do you do for press cliping? Software? Keywords?
- I heard at the conference there was a project that provided mailing lists (we're on google groups ATM). Could you point me to that? pirateweb.net?
- If someone could, temporarily provide us with our own chatroom on a mumble server so we can start using it. That would be great.
- -->Mumble channel had been created (mumble.piratenpartei-nrw.de)
- Any other software the pirate parties are using i should be aware of?
Operation pending.
(see your e-mails for details)

12 Task Forces (proposed by Marcel)
The current PPI board was unable to get enough information about the PPI Task Forces. The only information we received can be found here:
So, we have some information (but not much) about the following TFs:
- conference
- EU party
- legal + statutes
- new parties
- tech
- translation and text production
We've got no information about the following TFs:
- ACTA
- censor
The current board plans to reorganize the structure. However, it's necessary to get the teams working in the meantime.
Discussion?
Marcel was not able to get information from Gregory. The only thing we have is the migration pad. ( Old board >> new Board ) Marcel asked for more information, Gregory refused.
Marcel proposes to reorganize the structure. In the mean time, we need to keep people bussy, and workflow going.
Marcel suggests to contact all PP's for crowdsourcing, teamforming.
No objections to Marcel his proposal. Marcel states that we should put this all in Redmine.
Remark from Thomas: Thomas wants Marcel to do it.
Samir wants to be co-responsable.
Marcel suggests that he takes responsability. Samir objects, we have a CO-presidency.
Ballot: Co-Chairman are responsible for this.
Yes: Samir, Marcel, Lola No:Patrick, Thomas Abstain:
Pat explains why he is in favour of a sole person being in main responsibility for a single task - that's why he has voted no at this point. - Thomas agrees 100% due to the same opinion.

for Ireland or Turkey.

may ask the translation task force).

html tags, in
wikicode or similar)
Possible paramaters in the URL to put after the "?"

Lola wants acces to twitter, etc. There seem to be no objections.
This allows Lola to push all "formal" data to social networks.
Thomas: Only "reluctant" use.

22 Transparent bank account (proposed by Marcel)
Proposal: In order to fulfill the decision of the GA, the CFO is responsible for manually publishing all income and outcome items of the PPI bank account on http://int.piratenpartei.de/ as soon as they appear on the PPI bank account. This is a workaround. In order to find a final solution, the CFO is responsible for performing a search for a fully transparent bank account. The PP-CZ bank account is an example of such an account: https://www.fio.cz/scgi-bin/hermes/dz-transparent.cgi?ID_ucet=2100048174 The CFO will report to the PPI board on his investigation in no later than one month.
Ballot: Yes: Samir, Marcel, Lola, Thomas. No: Abstain:
