9 - Gmail Primary Administrator (proposed by Marcel)

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 ?

TASK WILL BE PUT IN REDMINE - CONSENSUS


10 - Mumble, VPS, mailinglist for PP-SI (proposed by Samir)

( 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)

11 Minutes recordings on mypirates (proposed by Marcel)

The minutes recordings on mypirates require a login.

Proposal: The minute recordings are always public. The CAO is responsible for making the already uploaded recordings public. Timeframe: 1 week.

Lola stated that she will try to do it as soon as possible. Consensus established.



BREAK - 9:05 till 9:12 Thomas comes in Recording started by Lola


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.

5 Minute break: 5:Minute extra break: 9:41 Recording started.

Ballot: Marcel takes responsibility for the reporting of this task to the board within the t.b.a deadline.

Yes:Thomas, Samir, Marcel, Lola, Patrick No: Abstain:

Motion Passed.

( Resending email )

1) Mailinglist (list.partipirate.ma / or pp-maroc@list.pp-international.net?) Mail resend by Samir.

14 WIPO (proposed by Thomas)

REDMINE THIS

http://ppi.piratenpad.de/98

We have to decide upon it. (plus change it to the actual board, statutes and the members...)

Consensus: Samir does this.


Patrick leaves at 10:06


Thomas proposes that we continue with PP Slovenia. And postpone the meeting till next week. Fixing Slovenjia with IT infractructure. Mailinglist will be created after the meeting. They don't need manpower. They do need VPS because of legal issues. Multiple board members are hunting for reliable VPS.

15 PP Philippines: Request for Accreditation and Support (proposed by Thomas)

Proposal: Use the new script in the PPI website in the sidebar and in http://pp-international.net/about

New proposed script at: http://pp.3025-game.de/rss2.php?

Notes:

  • I haven't removed yet any Latvia&South Africa, nor changed the links

for Ireland or Turkey.

  • Currently this csv is used as data source:

http://pp.3025-game.de/pp-links-prov.csv

  • Other languages can be added, if the translation is provided (you

may ask the translation task force).

  • Other layouts can be added as well (i.e. without
    html tags, in

wikicode or similar)

Possible paramaters in the URL to put after the "?" (to combine them, use the ampersand "&") nopic : Show no flag pictures lang=cc : Show list with country codes instead of English lang=de : Show list in German instead of English showppi : PP-International will be listed as a Link showmembers : Show all PPI member parties in bold font onlymembers : Only list PPI member parties

  $@ Confirm data, distribute countries to contact ?  

Redmine this ?

Samir: Will you construct a counter proposal ? Thomas asks for cooperation. ( Samir is fine with that. )

Thomas & Samir will work out something. REDMINE THIS

17 Social media (proposed by Lola)

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.

18 - Money opportunity for PPI

Discrete story.

More will follow later, no objections against Samir negotiating. There is a problem with monetisation of leaked material.

No objections.

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.
