EB 2012-02-06 transcript

From Pirate Party of Canada

21:38 <~scshunt> let's get started, then
21:39 <~scshunt> Anyone have any business?
21:39 < RLim> approving minutes?
21:39 <~scshunt> last week was my week of hell, so I really haven't paid much attention to anything
21:39 <~scshunt> oh right, that
21:39 <~scshunt> can you link them?
21:40 < RLim> let's see. Where do we start?
21:40 < RLim> http://wiki.pirateparty.ca/index.php/EB_2012-01-09_minutes
21:41 <~scshunt> My comments would be to watch the tenses on "move"---should probably be "moved", and I'd prefer real names rather than nicknames
21:41 <~scshunt> since nicknames can change over time, and it might not be obvious that JMcLoed is CloudQc
21:41 <~scshunt> (as an example)
21:42 < CloudQc> JMcleod - 2secs lemme go on my JMcleod PC
21:42 -!- JMcleod [jack@ppca-F503BEEB.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #exec
21:42 < JMcleod> :)
21:42 <~scshunt> no worries
21:42 <~scshunt> I don't care myself
21:42 < JMcleod> its a kvm switch 
21:43 < RLim> ok
21:43 <~scshunt> other than that, I think it looks good
21:43 < RLim> http://wiki.pirateparty.ca/index.php/EB_2012-01-16_minutes
21:44 <~scshunt> watch the tenses again; the adjournment line is confusing; perhaps just get rid of it?
21:45 <~scshunt> the second one, I mean
21:45 <~scshunt> err
21:45 <~scshunt> first adjournment line
21:45 < RLim> should we say no quorum?
21:45 <~scshunt> "president moved to adjourned"
21:45 <~scshunt> I don't particularly care either way
21:46 < RLim> ok
21:46 < RLim> http://wiki.pirateparty.ca/index.php/EB_2012-01-23_minutes
21:48 <~scshunt> The minutes shouldn't include summaries of debate and the like. It's probably worth it to create a separate page for them, but they shouldn't be in the minutes
21:48 <~scshunt> because otherwise we'll get into arguments about what people said and what was worth recording, since the minutes are an official records
21:48 <~scshunt> *record
21:49 < RLim> yeah there was really no motion made in that meeting
21:50 < JMcleod> yeah 1 motion last week, thats all there was
21:50 < JMcleod> since im VP
21:51 < RLim> http://wiki.pirateparty.ca/index.php/EB_2012-01-30_minutes
21:51 < RLim> that's from last week.
21:51 <~scshunt> Same thing there, with the Enigmail line
21:52 < RLim> yeah. done
21:53 <~scshunt> The 23rd minutes should include time of adjournment
21:53 < RLim> so 23rd I was in the U.S. so did not have time when it starts and ends. So removing the debates. Just have a line for meeting adjourned. 
21:53 <~scshunt> ah ok
21:53 < RLim> http://wiki.pirateparty.ca/index.php/EB_2012-01-23_minutes
21:53 <~scshunt> does anyone have those handy?
21:53 <~scshunt> ah, adjourned at 23:38
21:53 <~scshunt> start time isn't in my scrollback
21:54 < RLim> okI got the start time
21:54 < RLim> done
21:54 <~scshunt> cool
21:54 <~scshunt> Any more corrections to these four sets of minutes?
21:56 < JMcleod> nope
21:56 < RLim> I'll remove the pending approval lines
21:57 <~scshunt> Ok, they stand approved as is
21:57 <~scshunt> RLim: are you able to lock them from editing?
21:58 < RLim> I can set edit to admin only
21:59 <~scshunt> ok, good
21:59 <~scshunt> Now, any other business?
21:59 < RLim> agenda
21:59 <~scshunt> agenda?
21:59 < RLim> for General Meeting
22:00 < JMcleod> well
22:00 <~scshunt> We have another meeting before the GM, and we don't set the agenda anyway
22:00 <~scshunt> although we probably want to remind the Toronto-Danforth candidate to show up
22:00 <~scshunt> RLim: Please be sure to include notice of the PC election and of Wilson's motion as well
22:01 < RLim> ok. I am just posting an announcement now
22:01 <~scshunt> I believe candidacy also requires notice, so it's important that we figure out whether or not that is going to be brought up
22:01 < RLim> then probably want to sent out e-mail notice this week
22:01 <~scshunt> I can't think of anything else requiring notice?
22:01 < RLim> so PC it's nomination to be followed by election
22:02 <~scshunt> the election will take place by party-wide vote
22:02 <~scshunt> I want to talk with Nuitari and psema4 about the voting system to make sure it's ready
22:04 <~scshunt> Oh right, I did have an item of business
22:05 < JMcleod> It was suggested by a member that we host a Diaspora pod. Would need to speak with IT dep about feasability, but cost-wise, would we be able to absorb server costs?
22:06 <~scshunt> Probably, but there are more pressing issues on the IT side, I think
22:06 <~scshunt> Oh right, we will have to do IT Director again
22:06 <~scshunt> I move that the Board adopt a special rule of order that meetings shall be held weekly on Mondays at 9:30 PM EST in #exec on irc://irc.pirateparty.ca/
22:06 < RLim> ok so IT Director Election
22:07 < RLim> I second the motion
22:08 <~scshunt> Seconds aren't necessary in boards :)
22:08 <~scshunt> Any discussion?
22:08 < JMcleod> really^
22:08 <~scshunt> Yeah, at least at our size anyway
22:08 <~scshunt> there's five people total
22:08 < JMcleod> good to know ;)
22:09 < JMcleod> I third the motion
22:09 <~scshunt> haha
22:09 <~scshunt> Ok, seeing no discuss, I'll put it to a vote. All in favor?
22:09 <~scshunt> aye
22:09 < JMcleod> yeah
22:09 < RLim> aye
22:10 <~scshunt> Ok, that's everybody, so I hope no one minds if I don't call for votes against :P
22:10 <~scshunt> The motion is adopted
22:10 <~scshunt> RLim: Do you think you could keep a separate page of motions still in effect and adopted rules for quick reference?
22:11 < RLim> yeah
22:11 <~scshunt> cool
22:12 < RLim> anything else to add on that page aside from this motion?
22:13 <~scshunt> The one about the membership fee from last week
22:13 < RLim> that expires next week. yeah I'll add it for now
22:14 < RLim> What are we doing that we want Toronto-Danforth guy to be present
22:14 < RLim> ?
22:14 <~scshunt> RLim: Considering him for candidacy
22:15 <~scshunt> Probably best to ask him if he would like his candidacy considered
22:15 <~scshunt> and if so, add "selection of a candidate for Toronto-Danforth" or the like to the notice
22:15 < RLim> Ok, I'll post on the forum
22:15 <~scshunt> is he a regular? might be best to email
22:16 < RLim> Here's the announcement for the General Meeting.
22:16 < RLim> https://www.pirateparty.ca/forum/index.php?topic=1782.0
22:16 < RLim> Would have to sent out an e-mail this Wednesday
22:16 <~scshunt> ok
22:17 <~scshunt> Oh, that's loki
22:17 <~scshunt> right
22:17 <~scshunt> I should fix the application process
22:17 <~scshunt> (the post, I mean)
22:17  * scshunt adds to todo
22:22 < JMcleod> so anything else?
