GM 2014-02-19 transcript

 >#canada< GM scheduled in 5. /msg trailblazer for voice  but I did! er RLim i guess  hi  oo no quorum so far replaced wireless bridge with cord.  did we post on FB?  yup, a week before and then this morning  and its pinned  what's the exact amount for quorum again?  15 atm  We're looking to cut it down to 10, though.  there's 10 right now once psema4 and Wilson verify  I've sent my verification multiple times  to RLim?  Sorry I did a nick change  :P  From underground internet handle to political secretary <Infovorr> Going mainstream. <RLim> heh <RLim> 5 more <RLim> let me sent out another tweet <Wilson> I love how the original advice in RRoO for establishing a quorum number is "the number of people who can arrive by carraige when the weather is not inclement." <RLim> ping drew drew2 Vitriohl XFaCE <RLim> not sure who else are members <RLim> lol <RLim> is that version 1 :P <RLim> hey oxpirate2 <RLim> how are you? Decent. At work. You? <RLim> good <RLim> having a meeting. do you want to sign in? <RLim> need 5 more for quorum Want to disconnect oxpirate? I left irc on on my laptop. <RLim> don't have to. just /msg your e-mail and I'll e-mail you the verification code <RLim> The one week notice seems to have effect on quorum <RLim> if mailout does not go out in one week before the meeting, we tend to have lower turnout. People do plan for a week I guess RLim: pm? I dunno, it's pretty much always a low turn out. <Wilson> hence why quorum is getting lowered (although I think it is still higher than parliament's) <MHoude> Really? Parliament has a quorum less than 10? <Wilson> 9 I think, definitely not more than 20 <RLim> you mean Canadian Parliament's quorum is less than 10? <RLim> out of? 308 Yeah, 10 would be a good quorum for the turnout we tend to get on here. <RLim> what a bunch of slackers :) The constitution I am looking at does not say much about the composition of the EB. <Wilson> check under 'officers' <RLim> 4 more <RLim> phone a friend :) None of my friends are pirates :( <Wilson> I brought in ox that way :) hahaa, yeah I keep trying to recruit them. Sooner or later they will just give in if I keep harassing them enough. <Wilson> thats the spirit The is an elections section for the PB, but not EB. *PC <Wilson> https://wiki.pirateparty.ca/index.php?title=Constitution_2012-06-20#IV.1_Election OK, Thanks. John Tibbs here Greetings, /msg Rlim for voice <Wilson> Hey Mr. Tibbs pm RLim your email address to confirm membership <Wilson> too slow phillip My client thinks I was first :P <Wilson> lol Just viewing from Belize, we are trying to setup a Belize chapter...have any good resources or documentation so we can get started down her here <RLim> glad to hear it seaside. you can check out our website pirateparty.ca or wiki.pirateparty.ca <RLim> also my.pirateparty.ca send to seasideguesthousebelize@gmail.com <RLim> members please pm me with your e-mail to get vocied <RLim> *voiced <Wilson> hey dyson hi. sorry I'm late. coaching my son's hockey game <RLim> since I am waiting Wilson do you have our Ottawa's candidates e-mail <RLim> I still ahve to add him to candidates mailing list <RLim> and one other person I think <Wilson> I believe I sent it to you but I'll pm it again <RLim> hi gregeh I see your policy is on drugs... we are trying to focus on improving internet infrastructure with minimal damage to the existing environment in the Caribbean i.e. islands wildlife preservation etc.... <RLim> 3 more to go is CCitizen actually awake? <Wilson> thats why its 3 <Wilson> otherwise it'd be 2 <MononcQc> so close. <RLim> oh should we count CCitizen <RLim> ? you guys should come to the seaside guesthouse in Belize city to check it out and have a fun vacation. Exchange rate is roughly 1/2... <RLim> I guess he have to at least say something :) and the beer is pretty on point google Belikin Stout seside it you don't like our platform, there are other chapters: http://pp-international.net/ <JBJblaze> Back No you have a good drug policy. I meant I see your policy on drugs.  It is important given the TPP etc. dammit, it has been almost an hour again :P <Wilson> hence the quorum ammendment: we would have been good to go at 10 after I think we need quorum to implement that though. <RLim> hey JBJblaze <RLim> pm me with your e-mail to voice. Need 3 more for quorum <JBJblaze> Ok <RLim> if we get quorum soon. What item should we try to do first <RLim> ? Try again in 1 week? <JBJblaze> Oh, so what exactly is Pirate Party for? Basically Internet freedom, which directly translates into "real" freedom as the Internet becomes ubiquitous. <Wilson> Given the situation we are in I'd go for voting on the quorum ammendment since it literally makes everything else easier to get to in the future. i second wilson's suggestion <Infovorr> I'd definitely say the quorum amendment's the biggest issue right now. <RLim> agree <JBJblaze> Ok, sent it <JBJblaze> I think <Wilson> MP freedom, fundamental freedoms, internet freedoms, free market freedoms (copyright and patent reform). So basically freedom. <JBJblaze> Yay :D <RLim> 2 more <JBJblaze> Oh, may I link to this related Steam Group I've been working on? <RLim> sure <JBJblaze> Awesome <JBJblaze> TPPnt.tk <JBJblaze> http://TPPnt.tk <JBJblaze> There. <JBJblaze> Basically promotes legit and safe torrents. <RLim> cool <Wilson> k, messaged all the members I stay in contact with. Any ideas on how to proceed with th quorum thing? Can we do an all-party ballot without quorum? <JBJblaze> Do you have Steam, RLim? nice JBJblaze, just joined <Infovorr> I'd second a ballot. <Wilson> You'd have to check but I think only the GM can authorize an all-party ballot <JBJblaze> Thanks Dyson! <JBJblaze> If I can get the group more active, I'd appreciate the help! :D If we can form a pirate party in the Caribbean, We would be the Pirates of the Caribbean- food for thought before i sign off. Thanks for the info and have a great evening. Looks like the constitution defers to the RRO for that. <RLim> good luck seaside <Wilson> Assuming we don't get quorum tonight we can't put off this meeting for a month; we need a closer date. When is a good date for everyone? I've still got time so I'm not going to call this meeting till I have to (but of course I defer to the Chair) <RLim> A week's time <RLim> next Wednesday? <Infovorr> Sounds good. <RLim> I'll sent out an e-mail tonight I think it good practice to call it within the hour, so the times are reasonably predictable. ˜ext Wed is doable by me all the people that can't make Wednesday won't be here :) I have a paper to write, but I can take an hour to be here. Seeing no other suggestions, Wednesday February 26 and 8:00pm Eastern it is. <RLim> or you can idle too mordecai <RLim> after the hour yeah, sounds good <RLim> Just realized I kind of screwed up on the notice also, we should start the process of voicing maybe half an hour before the meeting if we can. <RLim> February 19 (Thursday) <MHoude> Second mordecai <RLim> so if anyone showed up tomorrow. That's that <RLim> ok That you for coming everybody. I think I am going to call the meeting. RLim: didn't notice that myself. <RLim> I'll try to be here 30 minutes before. Start bugging me at that time <CraigNobbs> ok, so the meeting is being pushed to next wednesday due to lack of quorum then? will do :) <Wilson> k, I will hopefully see you all next wednesday then. correct ok. so feb 26 at 8pm. see you then. <CraigNobbs> I'll mark it on my calendar <MHoude> Good night <Wilson> Ric, remember to send a mailout with the new date. I will get the facebook message. >#canada< meeting delayed until February 26, 8:00pm Eastern. <Wilson> (the correct new date) ;P good night, till next week. Hooray productivity!
