Abstain:
Minutes are approved.
1. Registration in Luxembourg
No any other news. Chairperson is going to collect IDs
2. New blockchain working group
Cedric is reporting a long conversation in our Mattermost chat and now we need to speak about it, especially because also EU is taken decisions.
But we need to speak it not within our Board
Bastian is reporting that they had the same issue with PPI but we have to exactly know where we are talking about. A panel for that would be very nice.
Florie is remarking that is not useful to debate here the issue.
Alessandro agree we need a working group and is avalaible to participate. He thinks that we should know what we're talking about. It's political. We need to talk to exactly know the technical basis.
Cedric also agrees that we need to know what we are talking about.
Bastian: we don't need any furher discussion on it.
Florie remembers that in the past we created some groups, but it's a good idea to speak about it here
Remark Bastian: “We are pirates and no one needs permission to create a working group”.
Florie: so let's do it!
3. Report from the IT working group
Bastian is reporting (see below) It was a very nice meeting. We should vote for the voting sotware. Also we should discuss how to improve server's performances.
We need a decision of which software we shoudl evalutate
Cedric was pointing out why we need to vote it within the board. We agreed to evaluate Discourse
Alessandro says that it's the work of this working group to evaluate the tools and make propositions.
Cedric agrees with Alessandro so as he said before we just need to install it and that's it
Bastian: the result of that meeting was that to ask to the board
Alessandro proposes to vote on this topic
Vote: Should we try to evaluate Discourse?
Yes: Alessandro, Florie, Cedric
No:
Abstain: Bastian, Petr, Jan
Motion passed.
4. Next Council Meeting agenda (proposal)
Alessandro thinks that we should put the voting tool on the next BM agenda
Bastian points out that is not possible to have next CM on April 23rd-24th because there was no invitation
Cedric says that we had a decision on it and also our Chairperson already sent out an invitation to our members
Bastian is reporting art. 14 of our statues that reporting we need to send also an agenda, not only a date
Cedric is a bit upset on the situation and doesn't not understand why Bastian wants to postpone it
Florie noticed that period can be shortened and we have enough reasons for that urgency, as mentioned in art. 14
Bastian thinks that is better to stick to our rules or we should have problems
Florie remembers that we are not violating any rules so now we should discuss about the agenda
Cedric agrees with Florie
Next CM agenda proposal
1. discussion about voting system (asynchronous tool)
2. political situation in Europe
3. reports from the board
4. AOB
Remark Bastian: “In urgent cases this time may be shortened to an appropriate length” is an undefined legal term that we have inserted into the statutes: for vital meetings to remain actionable.
Remarks Alessandro: it's not important why we have this in the Statutes.
Remarks Cedric : there are too many remarks in this topic
Cedric is proposing to postpone the vote to have more people involved to have an asyncrous way (within the two days)
Alessandro would like to vote it right now
Cedric is pointing that we could vote to postpone, but he agrees that it may be inappropriate to argue about the statutes each step during a meeting
Florie is now opening the vote
Vote on the next CM agenda
Yes: Alessandro, Florie, Petr, Cedric
No: Bastian
Abstain: Jan
Motion passed
5. AOB
No
