5 - Editorial and Team/Organisational leader (press team)

Proposed by Denis. From the email to the board:

* Team / Organisational leader
Keeps track of all (new) team members, sees how they do and makes sure they know what to do, provides individual support to team members. Makes sure the organisational tasks get completed, follows up with single team members and is available for questions and ideas.
* Editorial leader
Takes care of the PR workflows, makes sure that all PR apply to a certain standard and that deadlines are met. Communicates with other groups as required.
The two leaders are deputy of each other. More information on our processes: http://wiki.pp-international.net/Press_Work/Processes
After creating those positions I'd like to vote the following persons:
- Team / Organisational leader: Gefion Thürmer (she will be present at the next meeting to present herself)
- Editorial leader: me (yes, I am already elected for that, but an election makes clear that this position is elected by the board)
I'd like to vote on this matter at the next board meeting.

Denis: there are two points here: a) the board can define this two positions and b) the board can vote on the proposed pesrsons. Denis had a verbous presentation as he was presenting his board candidature in Prague. The backgound of puting this to vote is to create clarity and to give a guide to future boards on how to fill this positions. Gefion presents her background - pirate since 2009, chief editor of "Flaschenpost", on board of PP-DE 2011-2012 responsible for press team.
