Attendees
Andrew Tindall, Loz Kaye, Peter Liddell, John Barron, Miah Gregory
Apologies
Peter Brett
Approve minutes of last meeting.
The minutes of the previous NEC meeting were approved and have been published.
Matters arising
Status of various forms for the electoral commission
Party registration
John Barron and Peter Liddell both confirmed that this form has been received (along with the quarterly return).
Officers forms
John Barron has confirmation from the post office that the forms were delivered today, but the electoral commission were not able to confirm this yet. John Barron has a second set of forms ready to go in case there are any further issues.
Paypal transfer
Paypal have not yet confirmed the new bank account, so the funds have not yet been transferred and the name hasn’t yet been changed. Miah Gregory suggested that Peter Liddell try removing and re-adding the new bank account, and if that doesn’t solve the problem by Wednesday, to open a support case.
Peter Liddell now has a bank statement ready for the name change when the new account is confirmed by paypal.
Scotland 2011 Master Plan
John Barron suggested that we invite Andrew Paliwoda along to the NEC meetings for the foreseeable future. All NEC members present agreed this was a good idea.
Action: Peter Liddell will contact Andrew Paliwoda in the week.
Pirate Party Scotland Logo type - Today

Action: Andrew Tindall will dig these out and post them to the list.
Identify manifest writing group. Identify Scottish Election manifesto steering group - Friday
Andrew Tindall suggested we contact Duke regarding this.
Determine system for assembling candidate lists - Saturday
Loz Kaye felt this should be driven by the Scottish folks.
Action: Loz Kaye will send an email to Andrew Paliwoda intimating this and letting him know they can draw on the resources of the NEC as required.
Announce opening of nominations for candidacy - Sunday
Update logos registered with Electoral Commission - Sunday
Members unable to email either exec@ or nec@
People should be able to email either of those.

Any other business
No blog posts or press releases in over a month.
Andrew Tindall asked that if anyone has relevant ideas they should be posted, if only to get our name and site out there. He will be posting one on Friday with respect to it being six months to all the votes/elections and what we need to do.
AV Issue
Loz Kaye had an update on the AV issue that was raised a few weeks ago. He was at a training session for the Yes campaign, and will post something about this on the relevant forum. It was two hours of really good advice about how to campaign and Loz Kaye felt he took a lot away from it.
Pirate Radio request
Do we want to say yes to this?
Action: Loz Kaye will get in touch with the Pirate Radio folks.
