The full PPCZ's Board statement in Czech:
Republikové predsednictvo
schvaluje zámer na úhradu dopravy z rozpoctu ZO na 57. zasedání Komise pro sociální rozvoj. OSN, a to v maximální výši 12 000 Kc
žádá ZO, aby pri schvalování zámeru prihlížel k celostátne schválené strategii
neschvaluje úhradu ubytování
požaduje report z konference + výstupy medializovatelné na celostátní úrovni
pripomíná, že soucástí nároku na proplacení je vyhotovení reportu z cesty vcetnc fotografie
Návrh byl prijat.
Pro: Ivan Bartoš, Olga Richterová, Radek Holomcík, Mikuláš Peksa
RP prijímá usnesení, s timito výhradami:
1. z pohledu Ceské pirátské strany by tento náklad a úcast na konferenci skrze PPI melo nést PPI
2. bere v potaz, že došlo k nedorozumení, kdy došlo k nákupu letenek dríve než ke schválení zámeru
Google Translate translation in full (fixed a bit):
Republic Board
approves the plan to reimburse transport from the budget of the ZO (Foreign Dept.) at the 57th session of the Commission for Social Development. UN, up to a maximum of CZK 12,000
asks the ZO to take into account a nationally approved strategy when approving plans
does not approve payment of accommodation
requests a conference report + outputs to be publicized at national level
recalls that part of the claim for reimbursement is a copy of a trip report including a photograph
Proposal accepted.
For: Ivan Bartos, Olga Richterova, Radek Holomcik, Mikuláš Peksa
The RP (board) adopts a resolution with the following reservations:
1. From the point of view of the Czech Pirate Party, this cost and conference participation on behalf of PPI should be borne by the PPI
2. Notes that there has been a misunderstanding of the purchase of tickets prior to the approval of the project
- MichalGill: That's it. If Ray and Bailey will be talking with Ladislav, please, clear things up. Thank you.
