4.1. Council agenda - vacant CoCC position - election
We recevied an email from our PPAT member, pointing out that we could vote on vacant CoCC position accordingly to our current Statutes
Mikuláš is arguing that it means we shall understand that election of CoCC should follow the same rule as PPEU board
Katla also agrees
Oliver agree but he thinks it's better to ask to member to decide on it
Mikuláš agrees: so we should prepare to CoCC elections next Saturday.

6. Proposal (Dario, PP-CAT): Assemblea demo (voting system)
Message from Dario:
- After its third test run with today's PP-LU GA, I'm happy to offer Assemblea [0] as the voting system for this next CM. I can handle the system administration during the CM, as handling voting tokens to the delegates.
- Some highlights about Assemblea:
- Voting tokens are pseudoanonymous, as they are randomly generated (but they can be configured to cast a vote on behalf of some entity, which is just a name that will be stored alongside the vote).
- Votes are stored completely decoupled from the voter tokens casting them, but no token can vote twice in the same question. So, no double voting is possible but in open ballot votes we can know what each delegation voted.
- It allows for public votes, so we know what has been voted by each PP delegation.
- Consultations are flexible to manage. Questions can be created, opened, and closed at any moment. It's very flexible as it allows to prepare all the questions in advance, add or remove questions if needed during the vote, and control when and how long each question is open to vote.
- Votes can have a “weight”, so the system can tally half votes. Actually, we can set any fraction for votes, even bigger values like 2, 3 or 6.
- It has been already in assemblies with hundreds of concurrent users (up to 5.000 participants), casting thousands of votes.
- Of course, it's free software.
- The instance that will host the software will be provided by PP-CAT, available at https://assemblea.pirates.cat. Tokens will be handled by Dario, as the “on behalf of” feature for public votes is experimental.
Dario makes a short presentation of “assamblea” (please hear audio)
Katla suggests the board proposes to the Council Members to use this tool during the Council Meeting on June 5th 2021.
Dario will be there at 10:30 h for registration process (Mikuláš propose)
PP-EU board proposes: Assamblea will be used at CM 05.06.2021
Yes: Katla, Alessandro, Exile, Lukáš, Mikuláš, Jan, Mia
No: -
Abstain: Bastian
Result: We will propose the CM to use Assamblea.
7. Any other business
