Discord

Discussion of whether discord is the right discussion tool for the national party. Decided we need a larger discussion of this topic.

Joining PP International

Bailey L. talked about what the Pirate Party International does and its purpose.

Megan asked about perception that PPI is very European focused. Bailey pointed out that more non-European parties have joined and they are trying to be less European-focused by changing meeting times to work for other regions of the world. They are working to foster different perspectives.

IN seconded WI's proposal. Vote was 3-0-0. Motion passed.
