OHJ - PPIS: For what purpose do the employees need email adresses?, to whom with the 2. email adresses forward to or who will have access to them? Who are the employees and how many are there? The are GDPR compliance issues relating to email address, content and/or process in that regard relating not only to access control but to content as well. Has the delegation/person putting the motion forth considered those?
Marketa: Not against he idea of such e-mail adressess but expressess worries about this being in line with EU Parliament rules, that is that employees of the parliament are not ment to do work outside the parliament. Florie agrees. Katla agrees.
Katla: What would be the costs?
Marketa: Concensus to ask head of office in EUP about the rules of such e-mails with employees, and to find out the cost.
Florie: Points out how contacts disappear when an email disappears, when one quits its role.
Florie:Who will contact us?
Exile: It's a personal decision to have an email account and everybody should take the decision themselves.
Florie: When you are in an organization, an email account is not a personal thing.
Disscussion postponed for more information and more people to join the disscussion.
YES: Alessandro
NO:
Abstained:
NOTE: can we have an idea about annual expenses regarding all these IT activities?
Budget preparations
Expenses
1. IT costs: estimate
2. Communications: estimate
Incoming:
Annual fees 2019
1. total still due 5700 €
2. previsional incoming: 5100 €
ohj - PPIS: provisional?
3. Any other business:
Annual fees 2020 to be discussed before first annual meeting with all PP's Treasurers.
Opened issues: to collect the whole list of all Treasurers. Then to have a meeting with all of them (online?) (ohj PPIS: good idea)
Last: how to determinate the annual fee? Statute seems to be a bit extravagant about it (art. 13)
Exile: Collecting the whole list of treasurers needs to happen.
Katla: Can that task be done at the same time as finding out all the GA and relevant elections in Europe?
Mikulas: Suggests to postpone this disscussion until Alessandro is present since these issues are very relevant to his role.
No objections to postpone.
4. Organization of the future meetings
Mikulas asks if the 29th of December could work for the next meeting?
Katla: Not optimistic about attendance or a lot of things happening until then. Suggest January 5th or 12th.
Marketa: Should ask the rest of board before deciding.
Katla:Agreed.
Mikulas: is there a concensus for sticking to sundays for meetings?
No one is really objecting.
Flore: We can change the hour, but it's just a proposition.
Mikulas: The time of meeting can be different.
Mikulas will send out doodle fpr next meeting
Discussion about how to announce future meetings, via which media.
Katla:I don't like to use Facebook for planning and would prefer to get an e-mail in the future with meeting time and all relevant documents to prepare for the meeting.
Mikulas: Agrees.
