Agenda

Vote & validation Captain and Navigator for the Brussels crew

For practical reasons (not enough pirates), it was decided NOT to split the Brussels region de facto crew into municipal crews for now, although this is still the long-term goal ;
By unanimity, Claire and Maël were respectively elected captain and navigator of the Brussels crew. However, Claire still needs to confirm she wants to take on this role.

May the 9th, Press Conference in Namur, on a boat
Interviews for
- TV :Canal C, RTBF, TV Brussels
- radio : FM Brussels, Radio Panik
- written press : Belga, Le Soir, Vers l’Avenir
The first press confernec took place in Malines at the initiative of the P.P. Antwerpen and was about a presentation of the flemish P.P.
In this one, we’ve spoken about strategy (program — « Just do it » —; lists; the idea that anyone, waloon, flemish or from Brussels should be able to vote for the P.P.)
Idea to do another one before the end of June, in Brussels, to give the names of the people that will be on the lists (but - we will have the final list of candidates on the 15th of August, so what do we do ? - logistic ? —where, how, with whom, etc —)

It was agreed that the focus point of our campaign should be on improving political transparency and promoting participative democracy ;
Although this still needs tbc, we plan to present lists in the following municipalities : Brussels (Line),Ixelles (Jurgen), Schaerbeek (Marouan), St Josse (Clotilde), Nels (Tervuren) ;
There are a number of legal obligations to respect to present ourselves to the elections, which can be found on the wiki page for the 2012 elections, and on the official elections website ;
On 15/06 will be sent an internal call for candidacy to present a list in a municipality, which will last a month. On 15/07 will start a 2 weeks "objection period" during which any pirate may object to someone representing the Pirate Party at the 2012 elections. These objections will then be discussed until on 15/08 a final decision is taken and we have the final electoral lists of the PPBe ;
Clotilde, Adrienne and Jurgen will work on a document to present to elected officials to collect their signatures (until 31/08), which will be presented at the PP work meeting of the 13/06 at the latest ;
Some points remain unclear and need to be further discussed : the printing of flyers (who takes care of it? who pays for it? how many?), the collection of signatures (we need to plan events to collect signatures from electors), ... ;
For practical organisation purposes, a collaborative timeline was set up by Jurgen, who can be contacted to receive editing rights.

It was decided to maintain the present frequency of a work meeting every 2 weeks and a pirate beer every other 2 weeks ;
The necessity for ad-hoc elections meetings will be evaluated in the following weeks.
