5.1 - Proposals

5.3 Economic Update

  • Treasurer Report:
Bank accounts 3,384.76 CHF / 4.08 EUR
PayPal EUR 378.30
Keith and Sebastian had a meeting in Potsdam to get PPI's cryptocurrency back.
History:
It is not possible to register a Kraken account for PPI as an organization because we do not have registration documents. Therefore, I opened a Kraken account with the PPI Foundation, which is already registered in Germany. It is quite chaotic to submit all the necessary documents, including the transparency register. But I think we are almost there.
Interim result:
They need more time to check our passports... and now the passport copies we provided don't match something... That's great. :-/
Question: We donated about EUR 150 to the crowdfunding for the IGF 2025 in Oslo. Where is the money?


5.4 ECOSOC/UN

5.5 PPI HQ update

The headquarters is up and running. We have amended our statutes to be recognized as a non-profit, tax-exempt association (hard work with the tax office).

And we have a lot of very good news, which I will explain at the next board meeting.
