=== A reconsideration of Member Meeting Articles ===

We haven't adhered to our [https://masspirates.org/wiki/Articles_of_Agreement Articles of Agreement]'s [https://masspirates.org/wiki/Articles_of_Agreement#Article_4.0:_Member_Meetings Member Meetings section] strictly since we have existed, specifically the [ https://masspirates.org/wiki/Articles_of_Agreement#4.2_Form Form] and [https://masspirates.org/wiki/Articles_of_Agreement#4.2_Time Time] sections. Meetings have met weekly and bi-weekly (our current form) and not twice a year each over six weeks.

Rework them to:

* Have a section on conferences (possible spring/fall, at least one a year)
* Rework the member meetings to be on-line at least once a month
* Set when elections for the pirate council is and that we can elect people at a conference or on-line by secret ballot

Working on a draft document at https://etherpad.pp-international.net/p/MAPPRevisedMemberMeetingsArticles

==== Bills We Decided On ====

[https://malegislature.gov/Bills/194/H4746 Massachusetts House data privacy bills] - We urge supports to call and ask for multiple changes.

Endorsed:

* An Act to provide accountability in the use of biometric recognition technology and comprehensive enforcement ([https://malegislature.gov/Bills/194/H96 H.96]/[https://malegislature.gov/Bills/194/S36 S.36])
* Civil Asset Forfeiture reform ([https://malegislature.gov/Bills/194/H1953 H.1953])
* H.1973. An Act protecting personal security. We support the bill, and its senate counterpart.
* S.1731. An Act to promote transparency of facial recognition and driver's license photos. Not great, but we'll support it, because it sucks less than the status quo.
* H.1946/ An Act to implement the recommendations of the special commission on facial recognition technology. We support the warrant requirements, and the bills provisions for transparency and reporting.
* An Act to study the decriminalization of sex work ([https://malegislature.gov/Bills/194/H2467 H.2467])
* An Act relative to safe reporting ([https://malegislature.gov/Bills/194/H1747 H.1747])

* Anti-Section 230 bills - We opposed them

* Anti-File Sharing bills:
** Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act ([https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/791/text H.R.791]) - [https://torrentfreak.com/new-bill-aims-to-block-foreign-pirate-sites-in-the-u-s-250129/ ...more]

** ... more on the bills at https://torrentfreak.com/fears-of-overblocking-unite-critics-of-u-s-pirate-site-blocking-bill/
* Pro Codes Act ([https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/4009/text H.R.4009] [https://www.techdirt.com/2024/07/23/congress-wants-to-let-private-companies-own-the-law/ ...more]
