Re: [Int-koordination] Report on the General Assembly of the Danish Pirate Party (25 Jan 2014)

[Martina Pöser <martina.poeser AT bremen.piratenpartei.de>]

Moin Stefan,

danke für den großartigen und ausführlichen Bericht! Magst Du daraus auch 
noch einen Blog-Artikel für die deutsche Piratenpartei (mit Dirk @monoopool 
absprechen) oder auf Englisch für die Pirate Times (sprich mal Gefion an) 
machen?

Da es die PPEU noch nicht gibt, können die aber dort auch noch nicht Mitglied 
sein udn meines Wissens haben die die Satzung und das Manifesto auch weder 
unterschrieben noch ratifiziert. Oder haben die das bei der GA gemacht? Dort 
beschlossen der PPEU beizutreten?

Nun, ich hoffe, dass die erneuerte Piratenpartei einen anderen Kurs als die 
Internetpartei einschlagen wird und dann auch wieder "CEEP-kompatibel" ist...

LG, Martina
