Agenda

Main Topics (to sort and schedule)

• Assemblies: the 10 weeks protocol requires time we don't have.
• Project: Mons 2015
  • Workshops
  • New ASBL/VZW
• International
  • PPI: is it worth the time spent on it?
  • New network: http://www.pirateint.org
• Community
  • Welcome new pirates
• Project: TTIP
• ...

Morning - Matin - Morgen

(10.00) Accueil par l'équipage de Waesland - Welkom bij de Waasland Crew

• Welcome speech
• Short briefing about body language conventions ("I want to talk", "I agree", "I disagree", "This is an improductive discussion")

Reporting

• Reporting of coreteam
• Reporting of operational squads

Decision making

• Voting on agreeing to by-pass the proposal-making-procedure described in the Statutes. That procedure requires starting more than 10 weeks ahead of the GA, which is in practice currently very hard to follow.

If accepted, voting on three "extraordinary" proposals:

• Proposal to leave the PPI. (See other agenda item.)
• Proposal to create vzw/asbl "Pirates of Belgium". (See other agenda item.)
• Proposal to sign No-Transat declaration

These proposals can be found on GetOp, for online discussion:

• PPI membership
• ASBL/VZW creation
• Joining the platform against TTIP

Presentation of candidates

Are you willing to help along? Then join one of the operational squads or the coreteam? Present yourself shortly here: http://wiki.pirateparty.be/index.php/Candidates_Assembly_Spring_2015

Similarly to the previous GA, we will split up into tables, depending on our interests and work together.

Presentation of the topics and splitting to work together:

• How to welcome new members?
• How to set a long-term strategy?
• Preparing the next GA: how to deal with statutes, how to deal with getopinionated

Wrap up - Clôture - Conclusie
