[9:05pm] yari: With that, it seems we have everyone - so let's get started! I'm calling this meeting of the PNC to order at 9:05pm EST. ID's please!
[9:05pm] yari: (Sorry, not everyone, but a quorum)
[9:05pm] pmchi: Mitchel Davilo, Chicagoland/ILPP, Swarmcare Manager
[9:05pm] Bosun: Joseph Klein USPP vice chair rep WI
[9:06pm] yari: Rose Klein, CA, PNC chair
[9:06pm] jokeefe: James O’Keefe, Secretary (temporary MA rep until Joe arrives)
[9:07pm] jokeefe: Meeting page: https://wiki.uspirates.org/w/index.php?title=PNC_09/05/21
[9:07pm] papegaai: Title: PNC 09/05/21 - United States Pirate Party (at wiki.uspirates.org)
[9:07pm] yari: Let's start with reports. Jokeefe, what do we have from the IT committee?
[9:08pm] jokeefe: We met last Thursday and set a set of objectives we want to accomplish at https://etherpad.pp-international.net/p/USPP_Crew_Needs. Next meeting is this Thursday, 9pm Eastern
[9:08pm] papegaai: Title: Etherpad (at etherpad.pp-international.net)
[9:10pm] yari: Okay, wodensday is not currently present (trying to connect), let's move on to some officer reports.
[9:10pm] Wodensday joined the chat room.
[9:10pm] yari: pmchi - swarm care?
[9:10pm] Wodensday: Anthony Jay, IN
[9:11pm] yari: Thank you wodensday, welcome
[9:11pm] Bosun: Speaking of the devil.
[9:12pm] pmchi: Illinois officially has a website! Currently seeking one representative willing to appear at weekly PNC meetings in order to officially be eligible for state recognition.
[9:12pm] Frank joined the chat room.
[9:13pm] pmchi: About a year ago I reached out to Chile’s PP about a Pan-American Pirate Network. Seeing as I only *just* got the ILPP website up and running, I’d say that wasn’t my place to do on behalf of the party. However, I saw on Telegram that Mauricio (of the CLPP) said how “He’d love a Latin American coordination”. So, naturally, I reached back out to reignite discussions. Between them and Australia (who I know have been wanting
[9:13pm] pmchi: to work with us), I think we are in good shape
[9:13pm] yari: pmchi, good to hear! Glad we might have another state on here soon. Do we have any other leads on states that might be able to start forming parties soon?
[9:14pm] pmchi: There was the Wisconsin Pirate who was supposed to reach out to Bosun. Also Indiana (hello Wodensday) is also in the works
[9:14pm] yari: And yes, I need to discuss with outreach (wodensday) and yourself about the contact with Australia.
[9:14pm] yari: I will email you about that
[9:15pm] Guest52 joined the chat room.
[9:15pm] Wodensday: Indiana website is in progress! Cannot give a time on its completion yet though
[9:15pm] Guest52: hello, this is William Dappen, CA rep
[9:15pm] yari: Bosun can I have your permission to forward your email to a pirate on the discord who wants to help with WIPP?
[9:16pm] Bosun: Yes and phone#
[9:16pm] yari: Will do Bosun
[9:16pm] pmchi: I believe our West Virginia Pirate popped in as well? Not trying to call attention to him, but WV is another state who showed interest in forming
[9:16pm] Frank: I am still interested in making a West Virginia Pirate Party.  I understand that it will take time. 
[9:16pm] yari: Frank could you ID please?
[9:16pm] Bosun: More like peoplee.
[9:17pm] yari: Unless you intend to just lurk, in which case feel free to lurk
[9:17pm] Guest52 is now known as Radiojoe.
[9:17pm] Frank: Frank Decapio, West Virginia.
[9:17pm] yari: Thank you Frank
[9:17pm] yari: And RadioJoe welcome
[9:17pm] Frank: You're welcome.
[9:17pm] pmchi: Frank if you get a state party and website up in under a year then you’re a quicker organizer than I. We can help you every step
[9:18pm] yari: Woensdag glad to hear about the website!
[9:18pm] yari: *wodensday
[9:18pm] yari: Goodness what the heck autocorrect
[9:18pm] Frank: I appreciate the support.  I want to make a website, but it will take time for me do so.
[9:18pm] pmchi: That’s the old German spelling
[9:19pm] Wodensday: Ah yes, Woensdag, Wodensday from old high germany
[9:19pm] Bosun: tag
[9:19pm] Wodensday: Grimm's law moved it from dag to tag
[9:19pm] yari: Frank please let us know when you would like assistance.
[9:20pm] yari: And same for you Wodensday and pmchi. Excited for more volunteers and states to join!
[9:21pm] yari: With all the connections from the swarmcare report done with, Wodensday - can you tell us about outreach?
[9:21pm] Wodensday91 joined the chat room.
[9:22pm] jokeefe: Next meeting will be streamed, yes?
[9:22pm] Wodensday91: So sorry about that, this is still Anthony Jay, IN
[9:22pm] yari: Correct, jokeefe. I intend to keep every second Sunday of the month at the least
[9:22pm] yari: Wodensday, could you give outreach report please?
[9:22pm] Wodensday91: During our last outreach meeting, we edited the pirate address started by Jokeefe for the War in Afghanistan, to be published at a later day.
[9:23pm] Wodensday91: Our current draft can be found here: https://etherpad.pp-international.net/p/USPPAfghanistanStatement
[9:23pm] papegaai: Title: Etherpad (at etherpad.pp-international.net)
[9:23pm] Wodensday left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[9:23pm] Wodensday91 is now known as Wodensday.
[9:23pm] yari: When will it be published?
[9:24pm] Wodensday: A date is yet to be set.
[9:24pm] yari: My understanding is that outreach does not need to coordinate with PNC to publish content
[9:24pm] yari: Just needs to clear with either chair or vice-chair
[9:25pm] yari: Is that correct?
[9:25pm] Bosun: Let's get it out ASAP.
[9:26pm] yari: agreed with Bosun.
[9:26pm] Wodensday: If that is the case, the objective can be for outreach to complete and post this by Wednesday. The platform(s) for distribution can also be a question undertaken by outreach.
[9:27pm] yari: Wonderful. It would be great to see this edited and posted while it is still in the public consciousness.
[9:27pm] Wodensday: Agreed.
[9:28pm] yari: Okay, thank you. Moving on - Bosun, anything to report?
[9:29pm] yari: I know we have a work session scheduled for tomorrow.
[9:29pm] yari: (Despite Labor Day)
[9:29pm] Frank: I will let people know if I need help making a website.  I will see what I can do right now. 
[9:30pm] Bosun: Yes. More labor!
[9:30pm] yari: Frank, please do.
[9:30pm] pmchi: Social media accounts are a good place to start!
[9:31pm] Bosun: WVPP - registrations for twitter et al
[9:31pm] yari: Grind the gears. Okay. Moving on from reports to old business. We did not complete the main item of discussion from last time, which is the move from IRC to Jitsi.
[9:31pm] Frank: I can make social media pages, but I am sure that I will need permission to do so first.
[9:32pm] yari: Frank - permissions from whom?
[9:32pm] Bosun: Gotta start somewhere.
[9:33pm] Frank: I'm not sure.  I don't think that I'm an official member yet, but I can make some pages soon. 
[9:33pm] yari: Frank you do not need to be an official USPP member to make state pages
[9:33pm] Bosun: Frank, just do it and don''t screw up.
[9:33pm] Frank: OKay. 
[9:34pm] yari: State and USPP are separate entities, though tied together by many things.
[9:35pm] Bosun: You are now WV organizer. Pemit yourself to do things.
[9:35pm] Bosun: Permit ..
[9:35pm] pmchi: WVPP is your baby, raise it as you wish!
[9:35pm] yari: Main item for discussion right now: moving to Jitsi: we have successfully amended the Bylaws. Questions become: when do we move too Jitsi? How do we move to Jitsi? Joe brought up the point of preventing trolling. How often do we meet on Jitsi?
[9:35pm] Wodensday left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[9:35pm] Wodensday joined the chat room.
[9:36pm] Bosun: Let's just dive in next week,
[9:37pm] yari: Bosun are you trying to make a motion?
[9:37pm] yari: If so please do so
[9:37pm] Bosun: I move we holdd our next meeting on Jitsi.
[9:38pm] pmchi: I thought that was already established
[9:38pm] yari: Our next meeting was already going to be held on Jitsi per the bylaws as amended on 7/11/21
[9:38pm] yari: Sorry, not a Bylaws amendment, just a proposal
[9:38pm] yari: Starting August 7th, PNC meetings will be live streamed once a month. Audiovisual access will be restricted to voting members, officers and committee chairs.
[9:39pm] yari: We have so far been holding the video meetings every second sunday
[9:39pm] yari: Of the month
[9:39pm] Bosun: OK then I withdraw my motion.
[9:39pm] Radiojoe: paragraph incoming, sorry slow typing here
[9:39pm] Radiojoe: Uploaded file: https://uploads.kiwiirc.com/files/8802011578463d723153808f59420844/pasted.txt
[9:40pm] Radiojoe: shoot
[9:40pm] Radiojoe: well, I don't think there's any possible way to *prevent* trolling, just mitigating it. On moving to jitsi, I agree with bosun, it may be worth it to just see what could go wrong instead of trying to plan for every possible issue. And for how often, maybe that can be figured out later too? I think it would be good to observe the effectiveness of
[9:40pm] Radiojoe: the meeting before deciding that.
[9:40pm] Radiojoe: there we go
