The regular Executive Board meeting of the Pirate Party of Canada was called to order at 19:34 Eastern Time, August 5, 2012 at irc channel #canada-meetings, irc.pirateparty.ca. The vice-president was in the chair and the secretary was present. In attendance were Jack Mcleod, Johann Weissgerber, Ric Lim, Shawn Vulliez, and Patrick Fitzgerald.

Jack Mcleod moved "to make James Wilson an agent of the party for the purpose of collecting contributions." The motion was adopted without dissent, after discussion and amendment.

Johann Weiss moved that "The executive board creates a series of Regional Volunteer                     Coordinator positions, one for each province or territory.                      The positions will be appointed by the National Volunteer                      Coordinator and report directly to the National Volunteer                      Coordinator. They will be given a PPCA email address                      (*Prov-Code*-volunteer@pirateparty.ca, eg.                      BC-volunteer@pirateparty.ca) and access to an email list                      containing all Pirate members in their area and will become                      moderators for their regional section of the forums. Their task                     will be to coordinate any volunteer efforts in the region and to facilitate the                      organizing of Pirate events. Primarily they should act as a convenient place for any Pirate member to get information as to how they can help the party and what resources they can get access to, if                     they wish to host an event. If there is no Regional Volunteer Coordinator for an area, then any enquiries will be directed to the National Volunteer Coordinator."

The motion passes without dissent.

Johann Weiss moved that "A committee be formed to write a comprehensive                     document on what the duties and responsibilities of each                      of the administrative roles is. Sean Hunt will chair the                      committee and can appoint two members to it. They can                      request information of any volunteering member of the                      party and that member is expected to reply in a timely                      fashion. They will report back to the EB in one months                      time."

The motion passes without dissent.

Sean Hunt moved "that any member of EB or PC may assign to a volunteer a PPCA                  email address, which will be of the form                   first.last@pirateparty.ca (with nicknames permitted), and if                   an individual is no longer volunteering for the Party, that                   their address can be revoked at least 2 months after they                   stopped volunteering by three members of the EB and PC after                   informing the member. Members who have PPCA email addresses                   will be expected to use them (or official addresses such as                   president@) in their volunteer capacity."

The motion passes without dissent.

The meeting was adjourned at 21:44 Eastern Time.
