[9:55pm] Ty--: Everyone satisfied with asking mavsb questions?
[9:55pm] Ty--: Okay - I can't find anything about *not* having a published platform but that the party should adopt the core values and you have. Is there anything else that would be missing?
[9:57pm] Ty--: This brings us to the next portion, if anyone is willing to entertain the motion in bringing TX pirates onboard. Which I do believe we have three voting present to do so.
[9:57pm] mavsb: If there are no other questions, I believe we hit the other requirements for joining (actively trying to grow and regular attendance)
[9:57pm] Ty--: We would need their sponsor, who is this again, mavsb?
[9:58pm] mavsb: I believe MA / jokeefe said they would be willing to sponsor us but correct me if im wrong there
