Hi all!

As the minutes are not in proper order - as you can hear at the very end
of the second part of the recording, here are the links to the already
uploaded recordings of todays meeting (Pat will check it).:

Part 1:
<:http://pirate-parties.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Mumble-2011-12-20-19-11-53-mumble.piratenpartei-nrw.de-Mixdown.ogg>

Part 2:
<http://pirate-parties.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Mumble-2011-12-20-21-43-05-mumble.piratenpartei-nrw.de-Mixdown.ogg>

They had been uploaded a few minutes after the meeting (don't wonder
about the server, as mypirates.net had been down for a while, the
recordings had been uploaded there.)

For the offers the board had received (including the latest information
the board had had, Samir will surely confirm it), please have a look at

<http://int.piratenpartei.de/2012-GA-offers>.

Feel free to check the information.

Best regards

Thomas
