<ben> https://drive.proton.me/urls/RND3YZQNQG#vGX58LMHyVMi
<papegaai> Title: Proton Drive (at drive.proton.me)
<ben> This is a draft, and I'd really appreciate anyone who has the time to take a look and think about what other info might be useful to include from a public transparency perspective
<ben> with the idea being we can vote on a formal approval next week on the Jitsi meeting
<JoeforGeneralAssembly> Ben, I never responded but I did review it. I think you did an excellent job. 
<MichaelC_Scribe> Perhaps this a good call to get proton mail, hmmm
<MichaelC_Scribe> or a sign, rather
<yari> yes
<DreadPirateDrew> That sounds like a plan. We will bring this up next week
<ben> The doc gets into specifics on what I did, and happy to take any questions but Joe was very helpful in sharing the banking info, so shoutout to him
<ben> Great - thanks Joe / Drew

<DreadPirateDrew> Any other questions or comments on the beancounter report?

<DreadPirateDrew> OK than moving on. Other business?
<JohnnyLemuria> I have new business
<yari> did we have anything we can discuss about the conference in the absence of Ty?
<DreadPirateDrew> Yari, I asked and nobody responded witn anything so we moved onto Ben
<DreadPirateDrew> and unless there is any objection, Johnny go ahead
<yari> so you did. I don't have anything specific. just wondering
<JohnnyLemuria> Small thing, but in light of recent events, I propose adopting the ferret as the animal symbol of the Pirate Party.
<JohnnyLemuria> https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/private-gender-affirming-care-ban
<papegaai> Title: Private Gender Affirming Care Ban Fails To Advance In England After "Ferret Filibuster" (at www.erininthemorning.com)
<ben> lol hadnt seen that. I could get behind it
<JohnnyLemuria> It just seemed right.
<JoeforGeneralAssembly> Somehow I am reminded of the rickroll filibuster
<ben> Ashley the Ferret
<ben> Astley*
<JohnnyLemuria> lol
<DreadPirateDrew> We need some artwork for our Pirate Ferret
<ben> could be the mascot / theme for the conference - something ferret themed 
<ben> I'll second the motion
<DreadPirateDrew> I think he needs an eyepatch and a bandoleer
<JohnnyLemuria> Indeed
<JoeforGeneralAssembly> Pirate ferrets, we steal your hearts and keys!
<yari> I'll happily make art for it
<DreadPirateDrew> I am not seeing any objections. so it is adopted. Everyone can go wild with Naming and artwork
<ben> huzzah
<yari> wonderful
<DreadPirateDrew> Any other business?

<MichaelC_Scribe> side note, unrelated tangent... I'm now just realized that Erin Reed's twitter handle ISN'T "Erin The Mom" ... whoops
<ben> get all your MA-based friends to sign Joes ballot
