3 - REPORTS

3.1 - Short report of the board members

Members of the board shall give a short summary (one minute at maximum) of what happened since the last board meeting or their last report. If something needs more attention, it should be discussed in separate points.

Thomas: Attended PPEU and YEEA in Brussels, Initial contact with IEEE. Moving my home to a new place within Germany.
Denis: Attended the PPEU and YEEA conferences in Brussels. A meeting with PP-FR regarding the PPI GA.
Gregory: Attended PPEU and YEEA, had conversations with different people regarding the #TT14.2, was ill since then. Two meetings with PP-FR regarding the PPI GA. Conversation with the former ITU secretariat chair regarding some organisatorical details of ITU and the possibility for PPI to get in with a reduced fee.
Nuno: I have been doing a little bit of internal PP Portugal stuff dealing with PPEU also. Didn't have much time to do things for PPI except updating the Liquid Feedback instance regarding the infor of our members that are proposing (PP Norway and PP Costa Rica).

5 General Assembly 2014

Gregory: We have two official applicants: Norway PP-NO (everything together), Costa Rica PP-CR (some minor information missing). We need to send a recommendation to our members. From the Pirates of El Salvador we did not receive the required information in time. PP Norway are an official party, they already participated in the elections of last October.

PP Costa Rica is in the foundation process yet but still there. I had several conversations with them. But we still miss the statutes and the acceptance of PPI statutes. My suggestion is to recomment our members the admittance of the two applicants given PP CR provides the required information until the GA.

Everyone agrees on that proposal.

Gregory prepares the necessary "things" for it.

There were also discussions with PP NRW (Germany) as with El Salvador and we did not get an official application up to now.

More information on applicants: http://wiki.pp-international.net/PPI_Conference_2014/Applicants

PP-SV have been in conversation, but have not submitted a formal request for PPI Membership.

Gregory: The board members are required to create reports so please do it. I did not manage to prepare a budget yet (but see the Agenda Item #6)

Registrations: 32 participants so far from PP-IT, PP-RO, PP-SE, PP-BE, PP-DE, PP-HR, PP-TN, PP-JP, PP-FR, PP-CH (10 Pirate Parties)

Registration is open: http://ppinternational.eventbrite.com

A lot of more people can register, please do so. It doesn't cost anything.

Gregory: The question is open whether we accept the 32€ offer from the restaurant. It seems to be risky because this offer is with 20 or people. With less than 20 people we could order à la carte. For now we should say drinks only and less than 20 people who will order à la carte.

Denis: The restaurant will close at midnight so we should also look for another place for afterwards.

5 TT14 - Think Twice Conference

5.1 TT14.1

Gregory: We finally got the invoice for the rent. I don't know yet the exact amount. Let's move this for the next week at the budget meeting. Some videos from TT14.1 are still missing, they are in the queue.

5.2 TT14.2

Call for Venue should be send out before the GA 2014

Pad for call for hosts: https://ppi.piratenpad.de/call-for-hosts

We also include the call for hosts for 2015.1 including a date.

Requirements:

- 2-4 simultaneous tracks possible

- Internet for streaming if possible, recording is a minimum

We intend to send it out until Wednesday next week.

Thomas: What deadline shall we set?

Gregory: End of August to beginning of September would be great so we shouldn't be to relaxed now.

Thomas: Let's set a 6 weeks deadline. And the board will decide under two weeks.

Gregory: Someone from Finland has suggested to have the meeting before the internet governance forum in Turkey which has free entry. We could also use our conference for creating position papers and preparing the nasty questions for the panelist so everybody would profit. The weekend before the IGF would mean that people could just travel there two days earlier. This is just an idea.

6 PPI Budget 2014/2015

Budget meeting: April 8th. Till then, the board will prepare a proposal based on the proposed Budget from 2013.

7 TTIP

Thomas: a lot of international organisations have choosen the April, 19th 2014 as a central date for Anti-TTIP protests. (Not very well choosen date because of Easter),
