<br />
* ''Board:''<br />
<br />
* Guillaume: Had been busy with a federal vote about the intelligence service act. Alas, we lost with 35% of the votes against the law. Media coverage for PP had never been very high. The campaign had kept us busy for about three week I couldn't devote much time to PPI affairs.<br />
<br />
* Bailey: Nothing really to report. I didn’t get around to emailing PPI members with feedback questions..I apologize for this, had a weird/stressful couple of weeks. But I will do it ASAP. Also Thomas brought up the idea of an article on the board’s progress so far that will go up on the website. Everyone ok with me writing this up? If so, I would love input from all of you! https://piratenpad.de/p/CSddsJZmSkReS4j4qQJQ <--add to this<br />
<br />
* Andrew: Nothing to report. Am preparing to visit Iceland during and after the elections.<br />
<br />
* Keith: I created a preliminary budget spreadsheet, https://docs.google.com/a/pp-international.net/spreadsheets/d/1eT8dQMDKrgpC21DTWr_15Qgw3mPcGEpINwbwuueEgLI/edit?usp=sharing<br />
<br />
The budget is divided into sheets for membership fees, paypal, bank account, and monthly balances. Additional information is requested (budget from prior years, bank account balance, membership fees...),<br />
<br />
* Koen: Mostley PPBE work, also playing with the idea of doing a new Think Twice, would also like to go to Iceland for a couple of days. http://think-twice.co<br />
<br />
* Raymond: Identified and contacted three potential future hosting providers. Will work with Thomas to further that project. (See below)<br />

: Thx to those who have fixed the site after the mishap (security update failed)<br />
<br />
:: For management, a tech team should be established outside the board plus there should be a "content team".<br />

:: Piratetimes would be eventually eager to take over the proofreading.<br />
<br />
:: A twofold approach has to be implemented, with based on 2 teams taking on different roles: a maintenance and administration team<br />
<br />
a content development & management team<br />

<br />
The teams organize themselves and report to the board on a regular basis on their work and progress, as well as the issues they encounter along the way.<br />

A call for participation is to be sent out in order to recruit volunteers to support both teams<br />

<br />
Prompting further discussion of:<br />
<br />

<br />
:: Yes. As the server contract expires and will not be prolonged. See prev. minutes of board<br />
<br />
::: Clarification accepted<br />
<br />

<br />
::Any member can raise question and present a request to be handle at the next board meeting by sending out a mail to board or submitting a motion via tasks.pp-international.net<br />
<br />
: Outlining specific criteria for gaining membership to Pirate Parties International<br />
<br />
