Reports.
* Jamie compiling lists of voter lists.  Cleaning up database. Created conference page with notes. Editing video for posting.
MA Legislation
* HD.2323
** House bill to increase the number of signatures required to create a political designation. 
** Would affect new designations.  Would also create a way for political designations to expire (failure to get 0.25% registrations in two years).
** Jamie suggests we oppose.  Unanimous agreement.
* "Other bills to review" section contains other bills of interest.
USPP
* Nothing noteworthy to report.
Conference
* A bit of a time crunch before the event date.
* Perhaps start planning three months before the target date.
* Consider having a conference in the spring.  Maybe late April.
* We really liked the venue.
* Probably need one camera for the livestream, and one for other recordings.
* Air filters were quiet and worked well for the space
* Next time, bring headphones (for monitoring audio feed for streaming).
Pirate News
* Not this Sunday. Resume next Sunday.
