The regular Executive Board meeting of the Pirate Party of Canada was called to order at 21:40 EST, February 27, 2012 at irc channel #exec, irc.pirateparty.ca. The vice-president was in the chair and the secretary was present. In attendance were Sean Hunt (late), Jack Mcleod, Scott Elcomb, Shawn Vulliez and Ric Lim. The minutes from previous meetings were reviewed and approved.

Shawn Vulliez moved "to officially create a “Social Media Board” and appoint Shawn Vulliez as interim leader. After a round of crowdsourced edits, the provided “Social Media Guide – Version 0.1” will become official party social media policy." The motion was adopted.

Shawn Vulliez moved "that Party representatives shall, in official communications, use at least one name by which they are commonly known outside of the Party." The motion was adopted after debate and amendment.

Sean Hunt raised a point of order "that earlier motion adopted re: social media board is outside of the executive board's powers." The point of order was defeated as the chair feel it is part of how the party is run internally. Sean Hunt appealed the ruling. The board voted and was tied with 2 yes and 2 no. The chair's ruling was sustained.

The meeting adjourned at 01:17 AM EST, February 28, 2012.
