[Mikkel Paulson]

In light of the urgency of the matter, as well as the number of related motions swamping our December 19th General Meeting, there will be a meeting on the subject open to all party members in our IRC channel on Tuesday, December 7 beginning at 8:00 PM EST, and will last for approximately 2 hours. After the meeting, transcripts will be posted online, and telephone and web voting will be available for those who were unable to attend.

Agenda:
• Mikkel Paulson to move that the Pirate Party support in principle the actions of WikiLeaks, maintaining the reservation that personal information should not be needlessly compromised by leaked information
• Travis McCrea to move that the Pirate Party join in protest in support of Wikileaks and Government Transparency on January 15th along side PPAU and other pirate parties
• Joshua Doucet to move to host a mirror for WikiLeaks

If you have any other WikiLeaks-related motions to make, please feel free to provide them in a reply to this thread.

Proposal to join in protest in support of Wikileaks and Government Transparency on January 15th along side PPAU and other pirate parties.

I second TravisMcCrea's "Proposal to join in protest in support of Wikileaks and Government Transparency on January 15th along side PPAU and other pirate parties."

[Mikkel Paulson]

Okay, I've added the motion to the draft agenda. I'm leaving it on the end because if we open with WikiLeaks it's likely that we'll get nothing else done.

[Joshua Doucet]

I propose we move to support Wikileaks and by extension host a Mirror for Wikileaks as described here (http://46.59.1.2/mass-mirror.html).

[Joshua Doucet]

Bumping so ppl notice

[securr]

Seconded.

[Biogrand]

I also third Travis motion

[Mikkel Paulson]

You don't actually need to second motions in the forum because they haven't been made yet. This is just me compiling an agenda for the meeting. Joshua's motion has already been added to the agenda.

[Biogrand]

Can we announce our vote and get it recorded before the meeting? In case some of us are most likely unable to make the meeting. Or do you have to be presence in the meeting to make the vote?

[Mikkel Paulson]

Voting on the motions will be available for 7 days after the meeting online (https://vote.pirateparty.ca/) and by telephone (1-877-850-PPCA). Results of the motions won't be announced until the end of that voting period.

I propose to include in the statement a paragraph similar to outlined by trailblazer11 in the other topic:
"...It also condemns any government officials from making statement that could be construed as encouraging violence and murder just as it condemns any individual who talks about assassination and utter death threat against a person or government official. It also opposes government harassing and libelling an individual's reputation through unsubstantiated claims and extra legal means."

[Mikkel Paulson]

The actual drafting of press releases will be up to our PR team based on the direction provided at this meeting, but we'll certainly include some mention if the will of the membership is to go ahead with this.

I'm glad the Wikileaks meeting is happening on its own and not during the regular meeting. Something tells me it would wipe out the other issues to be discussed at the GM.

I'll be there for 8:00pm EST, no problem.

I checked the link, but noticed I was never given a PIN when I joined the party, only a member ID on my receipt. Is this normal?
