Budget
State Reorg - Review
1. Currently the Pirate Council is made up of the Captain, First Officer, Quartermaster, and 3 others.
2. Perhaps we should define roles for the 3 other Pirate Council members and expand their number: PR/Media, Activism, Swarmcare and Web/Info.
Establishing Regions?
1. Swarmwise suggests dividing into 20-30 regions.
2. Jason worked on a first draft of a map which Jamie has expanded with this Region Proposal.
National Matters
1. The USPP elected new officers and Jamie is subbing in as Quartermaster/Secretary. He would like a replacement.
