PPI Summer General Assembly Recap

Thanks to everyone who came to the GA. This GA had the largest number of Pirates from a wide variety of countries in a long time. We held quorum with 9 parties voting.

A statute amendment to alter the statutes to weighted voting, one that would reduce the vote of non-paying …

GA Will Start at 13:00 UTC, Proceedings and Motions will begin at 14:00 UTC

The GA schedule for June 20th is now being updated. Based on the feedback received so far, there appears to be support for scheduling the GA in the early afternoon UTC. This schedule gives both western and eastern time zones a reasonable opportunity to participate. It would correspond to 09:00 in Chile, 15:00 for much of Europe, and 23:00 in Sydney. This appears to be the most balanced option currently available. We therefore announce the following preliminary schedule for the General Assembly: 13:00 UTC – Registration and quorum confirmation 14:00 UTC – Formal opening of the General Assembly 18:00 UTC – Planned closing time There are no elections for this …
