[Int-koordination] Council Meeting 25th of May starting

[Thomas Gaul <thomas.gaul AT piratenpartei.de>]

Dear Board of PPEU,

having checked again on the agenda for the upcoming Council Meeting on
the 25th of May 2017 (assuming 0:00 CEST) I have not found the item:

- accepting the agenda for the council meeting

If that is a mistake I hope you will correct it in time.

And on behalf of the German Delegation I object for having the
acceptence of members as the last item on the very agenda.

Every member shall have a voice (so to say). Even an observer member
should raise its voice any time within the meeting. Having them excluded
is not a democratic way to move things forward.

The acceptance of members should be dealt with somewhere at the very
beginning of the meeting.

Another issue, who should we elect as the chair of the meeting and even
for the minute takers. There seems to be no slot for it.

The German delegation strongly urge you to change the agenda to take
care of the very basics for a meeting.

Additionally I would like you to reflect Article 14 (7) of the statutes.

As it says:

"The invitation to the Council meeting has to specify date, time, place
and the draft agenda of the meeting."

These provisions are not given in fully. As the invitation given
especially lacks the time and a not specified place.

As long these last provisions are not given the German delegation deems
to see the given invitation for a Council Meeting unbiased and we
formally protest in advance for any decision taken at that so called
"Council Meeting" as it has not been formally invited to it.

Best regards

Thomas Gaul
