Pirate Bureau

  • Simon raised a new approval revision, due to changed software requirements as mentioned at the previous National Council meeting 2016-10-05
  • Thomas mentioned his expectation materials should not require a CFV for approval, as there was previously a process for approvals with 2-3 Councillors and if required, the permission of the person providing a political advertising authorisation.
  • Simon mentioned a vote of the National Council should be required for any expenditure.
  • Brief discussion clarifying interpretation of the existing approval process, Mozart wisely suggests more commas.
  • Fletcher expressed a need to required CFV for some materials requiring approval and authorisation, to ensure non-Party expenditure does not result in a poor outcome.
  • Simon expressed the Party should not stop people spending their own money on stuff for the Party.
  • Mozart mentioned that it's perfectly legal for anyone to attach their own authorisation to a Party material (context note: since the Party publishes under Creative Commons licenses).
  • Mark expressed it should be as simple and open a process as possible, with tightening of the rules down the track if a specific problem has to be solved.
  • Fletcher expressed in such cases requiring an advertising authorisation and expenditure by the Party or members, he expects a CFV for his name to be used, after he has also authorised the version for publication.
  • Mozart mentioned it may eventuate that the Party name and address could be used for advertising authorisations.
  • Simon put the reword approvals process for the Pirate Bureau as following:
