PNC 01/30/2022

Agenda

Discussion

Old Business

• Outreach Committee plan for National Pirate Conference
  • Specifically: A two week conference starting on Sunday, May 22nd, and ending with voting for new officers on Sunday, June 5th.
  • The conference will be entirely online to account for the COVID pandemic, with the hope of being in-person/mixed modality in 2023.
  • The conference will be taking submissions from both US and international Pirates for those who would like to give speeches on Pirate topics during the duration.
  • These topics will be organized around a specific theme, which will be suggested next week for the PNC to vote on.
  • The public will be notified of the submission process through a Request for Proposal, written by the Outreach committee over the coming weeks.
  • The conference will have time slots built in for reports from existing officers, as well as candidate forums so that the members can make informed votes.
• Discussion of whether discord is the right discussion tool for the national party.

New Business

• Request by Secretary that the PNC consider moving NY Pirate Party to probationary status as defined by our By-laws
