Critical discussions should be presented on one or more of the following subfields: online democracy, the political challenges of governing a free internet, regulations and deregulations of online environments, Big Brother internet, Government spying, Fake news, Fake social media, Preserving freedom of expression online, Democracy interference, Media credibility evaluations and rating systems, Grassroots movements and activism, Political populisms, Risks online globalization, Local and global volunteer networks, or Promoting internet rights through multinational or supranational organizations.

- MichalGill: Got tasked today again by the PPCZ Board by presenting their following statement. You can find the link to the board's decisions here (second decision of the Feb 4th meeting): https://forum.pirati.cz/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=35129
The full PPCZ's Board statement in Czech:
Republikové predsednictvo
schvaluje zámer na úhradu dopravy z rozpoctu ZO na 57. zasedání Komise pro sociální rozvoj. OSN, a to v maximální výši 12 000 Kc
žádá ZO, aby pri schvalování zámeru prihlížel k celostátne schválené strategii
neschvaluje úhradu ubytování
požaduje report z konference + výstupy medializovatelné na celostátní úrovni
pripomíná, že soucástí nároku na proplacení je vyhotovení reportu z cesty vcetnc fotografie
Návrh byl prijat.
Pro: Ivan Bartoš, Olga Richterová, Radek Holomcík, Mikuláš Peksa
RP prijímá usnesení, s timito výhradami:
1. z pohledu Ceské pirátské strany by tento náklad a úcast na konferenci skrze PPI melo nést PPI
2. bere v potaz, že došlo k nedorozumení, kdy došlo k nákupu letenek dríve než ke schválení zámeru
Google Translate translation in full (fixed a bit):
Republic Board
approves the plan to reimburse transport from the budget of the ZO (Foreign Dept.) at the 57th session of the Commission for Social Development. UN, up to a maximum of CZK 12,000
asks the ZO to take into account a nationally approved strategy when approving plans
does not approve payment of accommodation
requests a conference report + outputs to be publicized at national level
recalls that part of the claim for reimbursement is a copy of a trip report including a photograph
Proposal accepted.
For: Ivan Bartos, Olga Richterova, Radek Holomcik, Mikuláš Peksa
The RP (board) adopts a resolution with the following reservations:
1. From the point of view of the Czech Pirate Party, this cost and conference participation on behalf of PPI should be borne by the PPI
2. Notes that there has been a misunderstanding of the purchase of tickets prior to the approval of the project
- MichalGill: That's it. If Ray and Bailey will be talking with Ladislav, please, clear things up. Thank you.

TECH ISSUES
2.4.3 Functioning of the mailing lists (MO-5 2016 GA)
Keith will send an email. Anyone who cannot send an email should follow his instructions.
Admin access to our website to other board members so they can add content. Mike, Ladislav, Etienne contact Raymond on his email, because he is an admin and can add you. Discovered some issues with GoDaddy. These issues were fixed. If there are any further issues, please send Bastian an email.
Online location of board meetings Here in Discord? Etienne has a volunteer who would set up a server for us. Zoom works better for GA. We need to reduce the number of tools we use. Security is an issue with Discord, but there is no need for security for our meetings which are open and transparent.
- Some PPs have a discord sever like PPFR : PPUK, PPFI...
- Proposal that for now we have our meetings on the PPFR server.
- We will discuss over a few months, and in the future we will present an actual agenda item.
FINANCIAL ISSUES Cashier
- Guillaume discussed having a meeting with the cashiers and the treasurer.
- Treasurer discussed getting access to reports, but missing information and needing an update.
- Guillaume will check the account and send Mike a report.
ECOSOC 2.8.1 Request for Inputs for Older People Paper, 4 topics, 800 words each.
- We submitted the report.
- This is the link for the event: https://social.un.org/ageing-working-group/tenthsession.shtml

STATUTES REVISION

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FjomZjv0klLmI50z8O4IgTM8n6Nux5wGpx9r3ea6M_I/edit?usp=sharing
- We organized the first meeting, and we will change the way we proceed. Etienne asked several members to give their opinions. He got feedback that helped him to learn that the critiques that are made are common. The solution is to work more asynchronously, spread out the work during the year...
- Can Etienne start rewriting the statutes with an open framework?
CONFERENCES
2.9.1 PCS
- Is someone speaking on behalf of PPI?
- Perhaps we could do a video statement.
- Perhaps if we could write a text, then Ray could assist with video technical production.
- Perhaps Thomas could help us coordinate this.
- Bailey translated the German press release.
- Ivan Bartos will speak at the Munich Security Conference
- Bailey will talk with them, and she will decide about whether we should make a video or let someone speak on our behalf in German.
