Board

• Florie Marie: I went to the PPEU concil meeting in Strasbourg. I was chairing a part of the council.
• Gregory Engels: I went to the PPEU council meeting in Straßburg. The rightscon session submission of us got not selected.

I have been monitoring the PPI technique as I do every day.

I'm pretty sure we've solved the pesky G-mail problem now, because I found incorrect records in PPEU's DNS - you may recall that PPEU uses our SYMPA for historical reasons. PPEU has additional administrators who have access to their DNS. Maybe it's a good idea to ask me before changing anything ....

All patches are up to date. All systems are running smoothly.

All requests for forwarding emails, etc. have been processed (not sure if I've received them all, though, as there are some peer-to-peer conversations).

I had asked to see the contract for data processing by a processor (Art. 28.3 GDPR) regarding our Stefan Thöni hosted discourse that we use. When will this happen?

Our mailbox in Geneva is now paid for, so we will not lose it.

I have made a motion to the board, maybe we can deal with it today - I am not sure if I am still allowed to make motions.

5.1 - Proposals

• Proposal from Bastian

I hereby request that the Code of Conduct of the PPEU be incorporated into the RoP of the PPI Board.

• This Code of Conduct could also be incorporated into the Statures at the next General Assembly.
• In my opinion, we have reached a point in our cooperation that lacks the necessary respect for members on the Board. This also explicitly refers to statements made by officers in public and in internal communication media.

• Code of Conduct Manifesto

Respect for Diversity & Inclusion

We avoid comments, actions or propaganda that encourages discrimination related to gender, gender expression, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, sexual characteristics, physical appearance, disability, or age.

Respect Freedom of Expression

We support an individual’s freedom of expression and will strive to better understand each other by not assuming experiences or beliefs, clarifying meanings, and making an effort to speak clearly, avoiding jargon and acronyms.

Commitment to Non-Violence

We will not engage in any type of violence or aggression, including verbal threats or complaints, intimidation, stalking or harassment, whether physically or psychologically.

Rejection of Sexual Harassment

We understand sexual harassment as unwanted physical contact or insinuation of a sexual nature, as well as displaying images, drawings or visual representations of any kind that objectify members of any gender or reinforce oppression.

Respect for Privacy

Safeguard the privacy of members, individuals and participants in PPI events, and agree to follow the Code of Conduct as well as the CoC Council’s recommendations.

Facilitate Participation & Collaboration

We work to create an environment that facilitates participation for all participants, and that session presenters are given respect. We will not engage in sustained disruption of sessions or events, interrupt conversations in a way that negatively impacts collaboration, or engage in toxic behaviors to attract negative attention to an attendee.

We Care about the Integrity and Health of the Community

We value the health of the community and will not engage in behavior that can negatively impact it.

Support Positive Interactions Among members

We are committed to engaging constructively with others at all times. We will not tolerate bullying, including requesting or mobilizing others, either in person or online, to bully others.
