[9:04pm] Joe joined the chat room.
[9:04pm] Wodensday: If it's about ideological differences between PPAU and EUOPP, I may suggest we set up a different meeting because I can see that being a thought provoking discussion worth its own timeslot.
[9:05pm] jokeefe: James O’Keefe, Secretary, Massachusetts
[9:05pm] Joe: Joseph Onoroski, MAPP, Treasurer, Massachusetts
[9:05pm] yari: Rose Klein, PNC Chair

[9:07pm] yari: Let's go ahead and get started.
[9:07pm] pmchi: Mitchel Davilo, Chicagoland/ILPP, Swarmcare Manager
[9:07pm] Wodensday: Ah, gotcha. Illinois and I have been workshopping one but life has gotten in the way this weekend
[9:07pm] Wodensday: Should be in line with PPI's
[9:08pm] yari: Reports first: IT - jokeefe, anything to report?
[9:08pm] Miles_Aus: Miles Whiticker, National President (Pirate Party Australia), Branch Representative (Fusion Party Australia)
[9:09pm] jokeefe: Met. Blog software updated. Haven’t been able to reach out to Bosun. Will look at solving the issues with crew
[9:11pm] yari: Thank you jokeefe. Next, Platform - Joe, anything to report?
[9:13pm] Joe: Had good discussion about the nature of the platform. Still need to complete the task of the list.
[9:13pm] yari: Thank you Joe. Next, Outreach - Wodesnday, anything to report?
[9:14pm] Joe: Though I seem to be missing the platform board atm.
[9:14pm] Wodensday: Trying out our new structure. Nothing of note project wise happened this week, but we discovered a few bugs in the new method we're using to run the meetings, and I consider that a win in my book
[9:15pm] Wodensday: Progress toward an even better committee
[9:15pm] yari: Thank you Wodensday. Next, swarmcare - pmchi, anything to report?
[9:15pm] pmchi: Just a reminder about Ethan and I’s 3 day summit, hosted by Revolutionary Blackout, highlighting 3rd Party candidates, which has been set for the weekend of March 18th-20th
[9:15pm] pmchi: Otherwise no new news. Pennsylvania and Kentucky are continuing to progress and their existence is inevitable
[9:16pm] yari: You sent an email saying that Alabama PP would be here tonight. Do you know if that's still the case?
[9:17pm] pmchi: I did sent the email, unfortunately it seems they’re not in attendance tonight? I haven’t heard from them since I was told they’d come
[9:17pm] yari: Fair enough, thank you.
[9:17pm] yari:  Next, treasury - Joe, anything to report?
[9:19pm] Joe: Nothing to report
[9:19pm] yari: Thank you Joe. Next, secretary - jokeefe, anything to report?
[9:20pm] jokeefe: Just updating the notes
[9:20pm] yari: Thank you jokeefe. That's reports. Any discussion on the reports before we move on to business?
[9:20pm] Wodensday: None here
[9:21pm] yari: Hearing no disucssion, we can move on to business. I had no old business on the docket - so we can move on to new business.
[9:22pm] yari: Let's talk about the PPI/PPEU statement, and, presumably, whether to support it.
[9:22pm] yari: Or more importantly, what else can be done.
[9:22pm] Joe: I support it.
[9:23pm] yari: A link to the statement, for those who have not seen: https://pp-international.net/2022/02/joint-statement-by-european-pirates-and-pirate-parties-international-on-putins-aggression-against-ukraine/
[9:23pm] papegaai: Title: Joint Statement by European Pirates and Pirate Parties International on Putin’s Aggression Against Ukraine – Pirate Parties International (at pp-international.net)
[9:24pm] yari: Joe would you move that we support it as a body, and if so - how would you suggest we publish that support?
[9:24pm] Wodensday: I move that we support the statement, and allow ourselves to promote in the future via our channels of communication if we so wish
[9:25pm] jokeefe: This is Pirate Party of Russia’s statement https://pirate--party-ru.translate.goog/vojna-putina-s-ukrainoj/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp
[9:25pm] papegaai: Title: Война Путина с Украиной | Пиратская партия России | PPRU (at pirate--party-ru.translate.goog)
[9:25pm] Joe: I move to support it though how we promote it would but up to you.
[9:25pm] Wodensday: (I will be right back)
[9:25pm] Wodensday left the chat room. (connection closed)
[9:26pm] Joe: I would simply link to it via blogs and twitter.
[9:27pm] yari: Those are similar enough - If Wodensday is willing I would be happy to consider that a motion and a second. It seems that the main question for discussion right now is how to promote
[9:28pm] Joe: I'll second Woden
[9:28pm] Miles_Aus: here is PPAU's draft statement, going out in the next few hours https://pad.pirateparty.org.au/p/r.1a1cb448c0c4b054ad41b098b75c7718
[9:28pm] papegaai: Title: Pirate Party Australia Etherpad (at pad.pirateparty.org.au)
[9:30pm] yari: Miles' example brings up an important point, which is: should our support simply remain in the form of repeating what was said in the PPI/PPEU release? Or do we want to add anything?
[9:30pm] Miles_Aus: maybe something about a geriatric president with a finger on the nuke button?
[9:32pm] jokeefe: Anyone’s finger on the red button is bad, no matter their age
