VC: Katla Hólm Þórhildardóttir:\\ TR: Sebastian Krone:\\ Technical support\\ Work on the PPEU Wiki\\ PPEU Council-Meeting Wikipages created\\ Work on the PPEU website\\ Preparatory meeting of the upcoming Council meeting #PPEUCM22 08.12.2021 - nobody else attended\\ Treasurer’s business\\ - Prepared invoices for the membership fees\\ - Decision regarding the contribution accounts\\ Basics: On November 28th, 2020, the Council decided:\\ “In accordance with Art. 13 (7) of the Statutes, Council relieves all Ordinary Members of the membership fees for year 2018, and thus the financial commitments of all members have been fulfilled for that year. PPEU members that have paid membership fees in 2018 can freely decide whether they consider the payment a contribution to PPEU or if the fees paid should be considered a pre-paid membership fee(s). Such decision for this and all previous such payments must be announced to the board till the beginning of next Council meeting.”\\ On June 5th, 2020, the Council decided:\\ “The board proposes suspending 2021 payment of membership fees until the second council meeting of 2021.\\ All members that made payments for 2020 membership have voting rights during this council meeting, June 5th 2021.”\\ The second council meeting of 2021 has been postponed until January 2022.\\ I have come to the conclusion that only the membership amounts for 2019, 2020 and 2021 are due.\\ Of course, the payments made in 2019 to 2021 will be deducted from this.\\ This will be the basis for the calculation of the contribution account.\\ BM: Alessandro Ciofini:\\ nothing to report, due to personal reasons\\ BM: Jan Mareš: \\ Two meetings with prospective parties to join as observer members on 3rd December: The Danish Alternativet and the Latvian Progressive. The Alternativet meeting went (supposedly) very well. The party had already lost it's ties to DieM movement and they're free to join. The meeting with Progressive did not take place, as the Latvian representatives didn't arrive with no excuse (will have to ignore them propably). \\ BM: Lukáš Doležal:\\ Activities regarding Czech Pirate Party and its foreign department.\\ BM: Mia Utz:\\ nothing special to report BM: Oliver Herzig:\\ nothing to report - usual stuff\\ **2.
