Matters arising: New Server - in the absense of Aki and Ben this will be passed to the next meeting - Noting the MyPirateParty site is down.

Correspondance:

Finances:  Finances have not changed, but here is a proposal following the Anonabox discussions.

Proposal (from Andrew McPherson) to import 10 x mini routers @ US $19.62 ea, then flash OpenWRT with the TOR software from the anonabox software. I am willing to do this personally and round up to NZ$30 for the cost part, then the profits go to the party funds. Would prefer sell @ NZ$70 to make a decent return to the party funds, and get us back to where we should be.

Vote Yes, go ahead on behalf of party: Andrew Reitemeyer Andrew McPherson

No, do this yourself:

Abstain: Hubat

Item defered until next meeting

Agenda

1. Social media. The board is to determine if David Peterson has complied with the direction from the board that all board members be given admin rights (or a equivalent) to the Party's social media channels so that control and access is not restricted to one member. Access has been given for twitter and limited editor rights to The official facebook page No admin rights have been given for the two facebook groups Access has not been given for Google+ He is not in compliance with the board direction

If by the start of the next meeting he has not corrected this and is still not in copliance with the board direction of 9/10/14 he will be suspended from the board and will be regarded as absent without excuse. Should he comply in then the suspension will be annulled.

Vote Yes Andrew McPherson Daniel Schwalm Andrew Reitemeyer No

Abstain

2. Membership  The chair man will present the membership scheme adapted from the Internet Party https://www.loomio.org/d/rauh1L3B/reference-for-the-membership-rules-of-nzip-and-ppnz carried over to next meeting

3. Pirate Parties International SA A special assembly of PPI has been called. Mainly this seems to be to address the concerns of PPAU and others to the statutes and the way PPI is being run. The international officer will report to the board any relevant information available so that the matter can be put to the membership as soon as is possible. International officer will make all relevant information to the board and membership for their information and discussion

4. Orientation Officer vacant Strypey had haded in his resignation to the former President early this year. The role of the Orientation Officer is vacent. One duty of the Orientation Officer was to contact new members should they have requested so on the membership form. Due to the extraordinary importance of this actually happening, I, Daniel, offer to take this aspect of the original role description over if nobody else wants to do this. Seconded Andrew Reitemeyer Vote Yes Andrew McPherson Andrew Reitemeyer Daniel Schwalm No
