4 - REPORTS

4.1 - Short reports of the board members 1)

Board

  • Gregory Engels: PPEU Election was given. Dissappiointing results. PPDE lost its seat, PPCZ lost 2 seats
  • Keith Goldstein: I am following on the pad, but not on audio. I put up a few more blog posts and have another one based on a short report from Carlos who attended the UN Metaverse Day. I attended the Pride I hope that we can discuss today sending PPI delegates to the upcoming PPEU meeting, because it sounds like there will be a lot of soul searching and PPI should express a voice about the future of PPEU. I know many of our members represent PPEU countries, but we should send representatives who will speak on behalf of PPI. I nominate myself to attend, but I probably cannot be present the whole time, so we should have more than one person. I also would like to get access to our Twitter. We had discussions before about creating a proper backup admin based on a sim, which is important. However, I do not have access to share our social media.
  • Bailey Lamon: Apologies for not being present at the last 2 meetings. As you know we had a few social media meetings and I drafted up a set of social media guidelines that we can use as guidance for new page admins, etc. I attended a couple of online Pirate gatherings including the Pride one this past weekend which was organized by USPP. I also finally got into our PostFinance account so after today's meeting I'll hang around after with Gregory and Bastian to do all the things I need on my end to give Bastian full access. I *might* be able to attend the PPEU meeting or parts of it, depending on when it is. Btw for a while there I wasn't receiving any emails, pretty sure it was an issue with Thunderbird but it seems to be working now (I have no idea what changed). I also couldn't get onto the wiki or any PPI site during that time, but now it's fine. Weird.
  • Alexander Isavnin: excused
  • Sebastian Krone:
I have monitored the PPI technology as I do every day.
All patches are up to date. All systems are running smoothly.
I have asked to see the data processing contract several times (data processing by a processor Art. 28.3 GDPR) regarding our Discourse hosted by Stefan Thöni that we use. When will this happen?
I no longer have access to our bank, this has now been blocked as the release has been missing here for weeks :-(
I will put the amount aside for urgent payments.
There are other unpaid bills since last year.
I have not received any bank statements either.
These are very unpleasant and depressing circumstances.
As far as the PPI association is concerned, the notary's office is waiting for the minutes of the founding meeting, which can take place online. But nothing has happened here yet either.
I have set up the technical requirements for the professional security of our social accounts: SIM card, secure e-mail accounts, secure website. Unfortunately, I have still not received any data.
During my research, I also discovered a PPI LinkedIn account.

Last meeting:

Keith: FB is not an issue, we have access and list of admins, Twitter is an issue.
Gregory: Bailey had this, i may have it. I have admin access for Telegram channel, i have admin rights to Instagram. If something is missing, let's go find it. We are working on modifying page ownership to FB page, to link it to Instagram, i will make an update later
Bastian: we need possibility to have a recovery process for credencials. We may need to have Pro account in Twitter. We need to secure all other "professional accounts".
Gregory: Ok, I'm in Twitter, have found the password and remembered the registered phone number that is attached to the account.
