[pp.int.general] Board meeting protocols of Pirate Parties

[MRE]

Dear Antonio,

I am no lawyer, but as far as I know the law is very different
regarding databases of people registered at a political party and of
people registered at a conference.

I think it would be very surprising, given that we had to wait for the
streaming at the start of the conference, that someone there didn't
know s/he was going to be recorded and broadcasted on Internet. It's
true we forgot to ask explicitly on registration (we'll make sure to
do it next time, believe me) but nobody has complained so far. And we
did ask for everyone's written permission before publishing on
Internet their names in an attendants list.

As for the other subject, it would be very silly for us to publish all
the minutes and make them accessible to all the members (something
that is for free and that anyone living in Catalonia can do very
easily) if we wanted to hide stuff, as you suggest.

Anyway, as has been already said, we all agree to publish them as
well, so it's just a matter of time before they are online accessible
to everyone.

Best regards,

                   Muriel
