Bailey:

I wrote up a small GA announcement : practical information... I want a double check from everybody for the procedure.I'll make some little changes to it to actualize the main information.
That should be good to go soon.

Gregory and I have a meeting last week and what we need to accomplish on the GA.



Gregory:

Dichter: My request to go to the Article 17 Stakeholder Dialog was declined. (The meeting will be streamed by the EC).

I spent the time looking into the EU transparency register - we need to find volunteers to monitor it, it is just overwhelming for just one person.

I met with the chair and discussed directions.

I was unsecessful in reaching the lawyer in Geneva and Koen.


Keith:

I was also unsuccessful to reach Koen. I also did a bunch of things for the GA like invoices. I've been alble to reach parties that are interested by joining PPI.


Daniel:

Absent


Raymond:

RayJohansen: Business as usual. Activism and social media. Also planning coordination and task management for the General Assembly.

Mike:

I've been in contact with the new Slovak Pirate Party. They will probably send their application next week.

MichalGill: Statutes translated, now working on the materials needed to attach to the application. Possibly finished and sent to the board yet this week, depending on the interior ministry which will now change the party's name to some form of Pirate, since there's a lot of opposition to that and lot of obstacles thrown our way from multiple sides.


Etienne:

I start working with Cédric on a protocol to know how we'll grant access to our members to be sure to not have to recreat it each time.

- Task list for the GA: 

RayJohansen: We'll need the delegates to get register on Discourse and Discord.

We'll Congressus to vote. Etienne et Cédric will told us what we need to prepare the meeting on Congressus.


I think we should skip Zoom this year because it's complicated to manage the video and Congressus at the same time on one screen. We might use Zoom for the board and chairs to have an easy way to communicate.


We need staff to help users to use Congressus.


We will need minutes takers, chair, stream supervisor...


I suggest to have 300€ aside for unexpected items

RayJohansen: We need to contact each member individually to be sure that they show up.


We need that each board member to coordinate with a few amount of members to up dates our information and be sure that we can reach them.

RayJohansen: The task list :

Each task have a number.

RayJohansen: When you've finished a task put the number in green on the task lists.

GA Announcements

 GA Announcement draft: 
   Bailey's original draft (Revision follows)     
                                              
Dear Pirates,

As you may have been aware, the PPI board has been undergoing some changes recently as well as sorting out the details for the 2019 General Assembly. 

The changes to the board are as follows: Guillaume Saouli has resigned from his position as Chairman, and the Chair position has been passed on to the former Vice-Chairwoman, Bailey Lamon. Additionally, former alternate board member Gregory Engels has not only stepped in as a board member but is now the Vice-Chairman. This will carry until the General Assembly when both positions, as well as several other positions will be open to nominations from the Pirate community at large. 

With that said, we are pleased to announce that the 2019 General Assembly will take place on the weekend of December 7th and 8th, and will be entirely online. 

We are currently undecided about which communication tool to use for the GA, and we would love to have suggestions from our members...whether that be video conferencing software like Zoom, or just audio through Discord or Mumble. We do plan to use Congressus during the GA and we will also open a forum on Discourse at least a couple of weeks before the GA so that members have plenty of time to discuss and debate. The proposed agenda will be shared in the near future. 

Please send us your delegate list (up to 6) as soon as possible to board@pp-international.net. You will also need to submit your statute proposals no later than November.28th. There is no deadline for board nominations or procedural motions.    

The following positions within PPI will be elected at the GA:

-1 Chairperson
-1 Vice-Chairperson
-3 board members
-3 alternate board members
-6 members of the Court of Arbitration
-3 lay auditors 

We would also like to see volunteers and/or nominations for vice-secretaries and vice-treasurers. These are not usually decided at the GA but we would at least like to open that discussion with everyone present. We also hope that the community will be open to deciding on the location for the 2020 GA. 

As we get closer there will be more announcements and important information being shared, so stay tuned and bear with us. Until then, do not hestitate to contact us with questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing all of you at the GA! 

Best wishes,

PPI Board 2018-2019

keithgoldstein: Keiths' revision: Check if this GA is indeed the first all online ga. Please note that I also mention affiliation fees in this version.
