Presskit Pertain mentions that the press kit for the event on 09/11 [1] needs some text. CoreTx already provided information about his person. He agrees to start writing on a PPI introductionary propaganda for the presskit and send it to the whole Coreteam. According to pertain the text should be about 1/2 to 2/3 of a DIN-A4 page. If possible the press kit should be available in 4 languages: English, German, French, Spanish.

Nico Hofmann, press officer of the PP-DE district of Middle Franconia inserts the text and takes care of layout and design. 4. DECISIONS 4.1. Proposal by CoreTx Will we choose the pirated UN logo if my legal consultation is a success? Proposal passed (yes: 4 | no: 0 | abstained: 1) 4.2. Proposal by Akallabeth I propose Eric "Annubis" Maechler (PPS) as lead of the digital infrastructure team. Ballot failed due to integrity misgivings and due to different interpretations of the Munich agreement. CoreTx gives Akallabeth a vote of no confidence. CoreTx and Akallabeth agree to appoint a Memorandum of Understanding on integrity considerations and the diversity of nations within the Coreteam. Note: Eric Maechler is no relative of Co-president Patrick Maechler. 4.3. Proposal by Valio As long as there is no additional Coreteam member to lead the tech team, cwicket will coordinate it. Proposal passed (yes: 5 | no: 0 | abstained: 0) September 24, 2009
