PPEU position on renewal of movement restrictions in EU States
JAN: just finished the text. Asks how folks want to go about this.
https://etherpad.pp-international.net/p/Covid-Border
intro: some of the countries of Europe have and are still restricting travel. There are countries such as GE that have completely redone their systems, including travel restrictions within the country. Some of these risk areas have exceptions, including getting free extra testing of the Covid19 disease. The text introduces the GE way as one with less collateral damage.
Mikulas: the text written is proposed by you (Jan) - does this mean that the PPDE is supporting this? Jan: no it doesnt seem to be an important topic for PPDE. JAN: suggested meeting at the border, but it wasnt interesting for PPDE.
Mikulas: two ways: your text or the text of the PPEU and the board would come in and amend the text. Suggest a working group in MAttermost to work on the statement. Exile: also suggest to work on the text to widen it a bit and have the board work on it. Mentions faster testing options that may have affect on cross-bordering.
Mikulas: make an order to tell SocMed folks what to do. The council could or should they approve this position? This position could be put up at a council meeting but it overreaching perhaps. It should be guidance for the SocMed people. Asks for a discussion team for mattermost.

Translater Twitter channel
M.Sinclair: has been testing a translater of tweets of prominent pirates and would like to translate tweets from a plethora of Pirates everywhere in to different languages. The twitter account would be neutral and have both serious and firey tweets, not necessarily connected only to PPEU. Could be useful for elections etc. IT would be good to have a group of native speakers to help with the translater. Jan: SocMed are not diverse enough and thus suggests to occationally have member parties translate to english and have it reposted on social media. PPEU to help dissemminate this possibility and asks that this be a part of the infrastructure of the Pirate content and also ensure that new folks know of this possibility and that would strengthen the possibility. Further conversation and to move forward from the test phase and include in the media strategy. Mikulas: want to act now setting up an accont but also ready to wait.

A working group would be made on mattermost to work and facilitate the statement work further.
PPUK (OhJ)

https://pirateparty.org.uk/article/pirate-party-future.html
Mikulas: PPUK to be registered as an NGO instead?
Oktavia: volunteers to send them a message back to update them on the next board meeting.
