31.10.2021 “Brandung-Live” #50 (anniversary)
- Review of the last 4 years Pirate Movement in Germany, PPI and PPEU
BM: Alessandro Ciofini:
Started a new “pirate” activity in Italy, with Pirati and other organisations, call for act for Nov. 13rd: Privacy Pride (PP).
We are organising demostrations in all major cities (Rome, Milan, Turin, etc…)
It would be great if we can have also some social media coverage from PP-EU (www.privacypride.org and www.privacybenecomune.it)
This will be the first public demostration in Italy regarding privacy topic.

BM: Mia Utz:
Nothing important to report
BM: Oliver Herzig:
not present
2. Tasks from the previous meetings
3. Working group meetings
Nothing to report
4. Party enlargement process
Meeting with Alternativet from Denmark will happen on 18 November 15:00 CET
Second meeting with POL from Romania is being organized
5. Registration as a European political party
We obtained the necessary registration forms from the Authority for European Political Parties and Foundations (APPF)
The European Parliament report urging the Commission to update (ease) the registration criteria for EU political parties passed the AFCO committee, plenary vote is scheduled for mid-November
The Commission will have to come up with a proposal before the next European elections
Mikuláš is now speaking.
Talking about legal entities, if we succeed in the process we will have two types of legal entities (not loosing the first one, just adding the second one).
About regional parliamenties, authorities consider them if they have some “legislative” power.
German federal states would count, Czech ones not. Austria would fit also.
Spain (including Cataluna) will also count.
One more important thing: different between observer and effective members do not count. They consider EU political parties in the way they can influence political policies in the association itself.
So, if observer members cannot vote this could be a problem later on.
Also Romanian party, if they will join the would like to contribute to the association life.
Bastian points out that the right of vote is not the only way to influence association policy, even without voting.
Honza is asking if some of the Estern European Parliaments are valid for the purpose?
Mikuláš would propose to propose this topic to next CM agenda.
Mikuláš would also like to propose three proposals to next CM
6. Council meeting
Upcoming council meeting on 27th/28th of Nov. 2021
Mikuláš realises that invitation for next BM has been sent our 3 days later.
Our Statues also allows to shorten this period for special reasons.
That's an open question.
Katla agrees to shorthen the period
Also Alessandro agrees
Bastian says that we now have a problem and it is better to postpone the date of the next CM: it will be more efficient
Mikuláš remembers that we have the same issue in the past with nominations, so we can do it again
Also noticed that we will have a short time for admitting some new members
Katla would love an onsite meeting
Bastian thinks that an online meeting in Winter is much more safe
Katla also agrees
Poll: (ONLINE MEETING)
- November - Lukáš, Alessandro
- December - Jan
- January - Mikuláš, Mia, Alessandro, Bastian, Katla
So now dates for January
Official motion
Due to all above reasons, next meeting will be postponed to next January 22nd, 23rd, 2022
None objects.
Regarding the agenda, we should have:
- registration process
- budget 2021/22
- nominations
Council meeting staff: Bastian proposes to chair this working group.
1. Meeting 24.11.2021 18:00 CET / before the board meeting
7. Any other business
Bastian would like to know what's going on in Czechia.
Mikuláš is explaining
Pirates received only 4 seats because they were wiped out by preferential voting.
8. Next Meeting / Session End**
