21:05 < srevilak> Steve Revilak, Arlington | |||
21:05 < Joe> Joseph Onoroski, Lowell | |||
21:05 <~jokeefe> Anything to add? | |||
21:06 < Joe> Please add sponsorship under decisions | |||
21:06 <~jokeefe> Sponsorship of what? | |||
21:07 < Joe> Another state in getting set up/joining the uspp with | |||
our guidance. | |||
21:08 <~jokeefe> great | |||
21:08 <~jokeefe> Decisions/Endorsements | |||
21:08 <~jokeefe> Endorse Assange Letter to US AG/Congress | |||
21:08 <~jokeefe> Text is in email | |||
21:09 <~jokeefe> Comments? | |||
21:11 < Joe> Sorry, I didn't see the email. | |||
21:11 <~jokeefe> Just the email about tonight’s meeting | |||
21:11 < srevilak> Joe: subject line is "IRC Meeting tonight 9pm" | |||
(letter is at the end) | |||
21:12 < srevilak> who wrote the text of the letter? | |||
21:13 <~jokeefe> Boston Area Assange Defense | |||
21:14 < srevilak> Just curious. It's a good letter | |||
21:15 < Joe> I support it. Less concerned with Assange himself and more | |||
concerned about the legal ramifications but..... | |||
21:16 < Joe> We should treat each of us with dignity and respect, | |||
especially in high profile cases. | |||
21:17 <~jokeefe> The US Congress letter is somewhat different. I forwarded | |||
that to the list. | |||
21:18 < srevilak> Motion to endorse the letter | |||
21:18 <~jokeefe> 2nd | |||
21:18 <~jokeefe> all in favor? | |||
21:18 < srevilak> aye | |||
21:19 <~jokeefe> aye | |||
21:19 < Joe> Aye | |||
21:20 <~jokeefe> any opposed? | |||
21:20 < Malt> sam capradae, worcester | |||
21:20 < Malt> sorry i'm late | |||
21:20 <~jokeefe> ahoy Malt | |||
21:20 <~jokeefe> just voting on the Assange letter | |||
21:20 < Malt> hi everyone | |||
21:20 <~jokeefe> emailed to the list | |||
21:23 <~jokeefe> Malt do you approve endorsing the letter or do you want | |||
to abstain or oppose? | |||
21:23 < Malt> i approve | |||
21:25 <~jokeefe> Motion passes. I will email them. | |||
21:25 <~jokeefe> State Party Sponsorship | |||
21:25 <~jokeefe> Joe? | |||
21:26 <~jokeefe> What are you thinking? | |||
21:26 < Joe> Sorry, tired so I am a bit slow tonight | |||
21:27 < Joe> We are getting new members in terms of new states starting | |||
us under the pirate banner. | |||
21:27 < srevilak> Which states? | |||
21:28 < Joe> I hope we can help support them and be a contact for | |||
newcomers so that itwill get us where we want to be asa party | |||
21:29 < Joe> There are a few but the one in question is Kentucky | |||
I believe. | |||
21:29 < Joe> Ethan has come forward as a potential Captain. | |||
21:30 < Joe> I would be honored to help or have one of us go help them | |||
through the process. | |||
21:30 <~jokeefe> How would you like us to help? | |||
21:31 < Joe> Motion to sponsor a new state pirate party and take them | |||
under our wing. | |||
21:31 < Malt> what does that mean, more specifically? | |||
21:31 < Joe> Guidance and education, step by step if necessary but Ethan | |||
seemed to have a good idea of what to do. | |||
21:32 < Malt> we've got the wiki with advice on running | |||
21:32 < Joe> Mentoring essentially. | |||
21:33 < Joe> More in terms of setting up offical party like what Jamie | |||
has done and help organize. | |||
21:34 < Joe> Set up a treasurer, basic by-laws and whatnot. | |||
21:34 <~jokeefe> I am happy to talk with people and give advice, but I | |||
am too stretched time-wise to be proactive in mentoring a new party. | |||
21:35 < Joe> Does not seem like a lot since things are already done here | |||
in MA but it is. | |||
21:36 < Joe> I said I would be happy to assist and I stand by it. Though | |||
I prefer to have our collective ok on it. | |||
21:36 <~jokeefe> I am fine with you being point of contact. | |||
21:37 < Malt> yeah, go hog wild bro | |||
21:37 < Joe> Lol, prefer not the wild hog when a tame one will do | |||
just fine. | |||
21:38 < Joe> Motion? | |||
21:38 < Malt> 2nd | |||
21:38 <~jokeefe> all in favor? | |||
21:38 < Joe> Abstain | |||
21:38 < srevilak> aye | |||
21:38 < Malt> aye | |||
21:39 <~jokeefe> aye | |||
21:39 <~jokeefe> Any opposed? | |||
21:40 <~jokeefe> Motion passes | |||
21:41 <~jokeefe> Platform - We were working on | |||
https://etherpad.pp-international.net/p/MAPPForMoreDiversity | |||
21:41 < Joe> Thank you for your confidence in this matter, I will be | |||
sure to do us proud with my shameless copying. | |||
21:41 <~jokeefe> Life is a remix | |||
21:45 <~jokeefe> Sunday good for recording? | |||
21:46 < srevilak> Yes, Sunday is good | |||
21:46 < Malt> yup! | |||
21:46 < Malt> finals are saturday | |||
21:47 < Joe> Aye | |||
21:47 <~jokeefe> go Malt! | |||
21:47 < srevilak> Malt: are you taking finals, or giving and grading them? | |||
21:47 < Malt> oh i'm performing in the finals of a standup contest | |||
21:48 < srevilak> Oh, standup final. Doh - got it! | |||
21:48 < Malt> :) | |||
21:49 < srevilak> Question: in the plank, I'm puzzled by the reference | |||
to NATO | |||
21:50 <~jokeefe> NATO? I don’t see that srevilak | |||
21:50 <~jokeefe> now i do | |||
21:50 < Joe> This was converted from Germany if I am correct but we are | |||
still a NATO member. | |||
21:50 <~jokeefe> yes. removed | |||
21:51 < Joe> Aren't we part of nato though? Still think it applies. | |||
21:52 <~jokeefe> we are, but this is a diversity plank not a foreign | |||
policy plank | |||
21:52 < Joe> Ahh, fair point. | |||
21:53 < srevilak> I was confused about what the North Atlantic Treaty | |||
Organization was doing to promote diversity. Kind of though there were | |||
other orgs we might model ourselves after | |||
21:53 < srevilak> Or look to for inspiration | |||
21:55 <~jokeefe> that is all I have. | |||
21:56 < Joe> Motion to adjourn? | |||
21:56 <~jokeefe> 2nd | |||
21:56 <~jokeefe> all in favor? | |||
21:56 < Malt> aye | |||
21:56 < Joe> Aye | |||
21:56 <~jokeefe> aye | |||
21:56 < srevilak> aye | |||
21:56 < srevilak> will post transcript | |||
