Fusion campaigns reportback
Miles:


 * NSW possibility is a thing
 * obviously will have to run as indies for NSW-state in March 2023
 * Council in 2024 much easier


 * Vic less likely to get formal rego :(
 * Candidates still happy to run as indies and we can give them our support
 * Help appreciated on the phones

Fusion policy reportback
Tyrone:


 * Politics and Hot Takes discussion is going well, props to Sahar
 * Good attendance so far!
 * Aim is to inform future policy discussion
 * This should hopefully start coalescing into a Fusion policy dev group


 * Satch notes there's nothing stopping invididual Fusion members from putting policy forward, there's just no formal committee for it
 * Miles: the parties that make up Fusion have a vital role in driving policy too, so good to keep up Pirate-PDC efforts.


 * Fusion Exec Co generally happy with AJ and AL's JSCEM submission
 * https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PG44V-3bttUXyyUuMpdjZgAD50k4-C7rStXqjnk2OFA/edit?usp=sharing
 * Kammy's also putting her own sub in personally, go Kammy! (We may disagree on a few things.)


 * Tyrone volunteers to take on Fusion PDO


 * Reminder: Fusion AGM coming up October 23rd
 * AJ notes that Belenios doesn't really want to be used above 1000 users
 * RW/DK/AJ to sort this out for Fusion

Discussion items
None

Daylight Savings Time

 * Fusion Exec to be 7:30 AEDT
 * Traditionally PPAU-NC has been Xpm Sydney (so 9pm Sydney == 8pm Brisbane)
 * 8pm tricky for Alex now
 * Could switch NC to alternate weeks... or keep Fusion Exec Co running to time
 * Preference to keep PPAU-NC as a double header to Fusion Exec Co
 * Motion: 21:30 AEDT

Actions going forward

 * AJ to update calendar with new NC time
