[9:09pm] pmchi: Mitchel Davilo, Swarmcare Manager, Chicagoland/ILPP
[9:09pm] Bosun: Outreach gets to kick the dog for a while.
[9:09pm] Yari: wodensday I'll leave that to you and jokeefe to schedule
[9:09pm] Yari: but I think that could be cool
[9:09pm] wodensday: I would love to get to that soon

[9:10pm] pmchi: Ahoy, sorry about that
[9:10pm] wodensday: Yes, I will shoot jokeefe a PM about it and hopefully we can get it going
[9:10pm] Yari: no worries - moving on - wodensday - outreach updates?
[9:10pm] Bosun: outreach morphs into the ministry of propaganda
[9:10pm] jokeefe: excellent
[9:11pm] wodensday: We met on Tuesday. We had a nice conversation about pirate shirts.
[9:11pm] wodensday: I do not believe we have any important updates, though.
[9:11pm] Yari: https://wiki.uspirates.org/w/index.php?title=Outreach_06/22/2021
[9:11pm] papegaai: Title: Outreach 06/22/2021 - United States Pirate Party (at wiki.uspirates.org)
[9:12pm] Yari: link to minutes for record
[9:12pm] wodensday: Ah yes, thank you. Had that copied but forgot
[9:12pm] Yari: pirate shirts would be a convo with treasury eventually?
[9:12pm] Yari: but perhaps not until much later on?
[9:13pm] wodensday: For sure. If we are to have some kind of pirate shop they would need to be closely involved, for obvious reasons. But we fo not have any concrete plans yet, it is just a topic of conversation
[9:13pm] Yari: sounds good, glad to hear it's being talked about
[9:14pm] Yari: Joe is not here right now, so I can't really ask about treasury
[9:14pm] Yari: or about platform committee
[9:14pm] Yari: pmchi do you have any updates from swarmcare stuff?
[9:15pm] pmchi: I have reached out to every Facebook page and social media relating to Pirate Parties I could find, invited those interested to the Discord
[9:16pm] Yari: cool! let us know how that goes
[9:16pm] pmchi: It’s my understanding states like Oregon, Kansas and South Dakota were, at the very least, interested in the Discord. Pennsylvania seemed most ready to be active again
[9:16pm] jokeefe: wonderful
[9:16pm] Yari: it would be interesting to see how we can leverage discord as a tool for state organization
[9:17pm] Yari: update from me, the discord person, on that front:
[9:17pm] Yari: state-specific organization channels are coming online by this time next week
[9:17pm] Yari: look forward to that
[9:17pm] pmchi: Wonderful news!
[9:17pm] wodensday: Looking forward to that!
[9:17pm] Yari: moving on - old business!
[9:18pm] Yari: first, I'd like to talk about the resolution that was proposed.
[9:18pm] Yari: :
[9:18pm] Yari: Suggested resolution that the PNC assure access to the social media to each of the officers of the PNC, as well as each chair of the PNC subcommittees. Additionally, that the PNC commit to researching and implementing a method of tracking the original author of each post made to USPP social media accounts.
[9:18pm] Yari: there was a request last time for discussion
[9:18pm] Yari: so, let's discuss
[9:19pm] Yari: Unfortunately, I feel like Joe was the one with the most strong objections, and I would have liked to hear what he had to say
[9:19pm] Yari: jokeefe, do you by chance know what his thoughts were?
[9:20pm] Yari: otherwise, any opinions on this suggested resolution by others are welcome to this discussion
[9:20pm] jokeefe: Not sure. I can ask him, though not now.
[9:20pm] Yari: In that case, we could table this, if you think that is best
[9:21pm] jokeefe: I think assuring access to officers/committee chairs is a good idea
[9:21pm] jokeefe: what is the reason for tracking the original author fo each post?
[9:21pm] Bosun: The admin key conundrum
[9:22pm] Yari: Bosun could you elaborate?
[9:23pm] jokeefe: why give admin key to anyone besides char/vice-chair? we can give/remove access via tweetdeck
[9:24pm] Bosun: You need a person in a position of trust with the "ownership" key. Shared keys can be used by anyone with a key to cutoff the others. So shared keys are less safe than one key-holder.
[9:24pm] Yari: jokeefe my understanding of it is that tracking the authors of the posts would allow for accountability, spread of keys allows for more use of social media
[9:25pm] wodensday: May I comment on this as outreach chair?
[9:25pm] jokeefe: tweet deck allows the account owner to grant access to other twitter users. plus scheduling ...
[9:25pm] Yari: that is a problem, I see that
[9:25pm] Bosun: It depends on the technology platform.
[9:25pm] Yari: wodensday please do
