[Amendement] Clearer composition and elections of the Board

Proposal 2: In the 2019 GA it was decided that we would alter XII. Board to include 2 additional board members, as a result clause 3 c was changed from five to seven. Is your intention to roll back that change in this motion? I am quite happy with the size of the board at the moment. We always have a few people who are not present, especially as we by design include board members from different time zones. Human resources became a problem for us when we were organizing events and conferences.

Ive missed that. Somebody should update Statutes on mainmage, than - STATUTES – Pirate Parties International

My intentiton is not to change the number of Board members. (Although I did not support enlargement last year)

Ill fix that in my proposal.

@keithg

Proposal 4: I think I agree with you, but this might require a bit more explaining. I think the intention of position is what we have now enshrined as vice secretaries. I think perhaps the terms position and office should be defined

I want to have distiction between;

a) Seat - physical person holding membership in elected PPI body;
b) Position - person on Seat holding distinct postition within a body
c) Office - any person doing work for PPI or its body

Board members can elect between them to a position, but not to a seat.

Proposal 5: I agree. However, I thought last GA that you also wanted to forego with the alternate board member voting, and just have it as a run-off of the Board member voting. Was that your intention when removing the number of alternate members, or am I mistaken? Please note that this proposal actually will influence whether we vote on an alternate member at this next GA, because one alternate resigned and we have only 3. I also bring up (especially in regards to proposal 2) that before the 2019 GA we technically had zero alternates, because they had all advanced to the board or resigned.

Yes. (It is my intention to forego alternate elections as a separate thing. They should be elected as part of the Board election process. Less bureaucracy and peperwork with separate nominations and elections. More candidates for the Board. Better voting system?)
