Additionally, as PPI had been an issue at the congress  a motion
concerning PPI has passed, I just copy paste it for you as it concerns
us as a movement as well es members of PPI.

*FM-1: Conditional withdrawal from Pirate Parties International*

Put by: Simon Frew, on behalf of the National Council
Motion

That the National Council be granted permission to withdraw Pirate
Party Australia from Pirate Parties International if any of the
following conditions are not met by 31 January, 2015:

   1. An online General Assembly is held.
   2. The following statute amendment proposals are instituted:
      1. Remote delegates are given equal ability to participate in
the formal aspects of General Assemblies.
      2.  Caps are introduced on the number of nominees for the Board
a member of PPI may sponsor.
      3.  An improved voting method (such as a preferential method)
for electing the Board is instituted.
      4. A definitions section to define different types of majorities.

    3. The following is instituted by PPI:
       1.  A fair and democratic process is ensured for determining
who represents PPI at WIPO, WTO, etc.
       2.  Liaison officers for regional representation are introduced
(such as an Asia-Pacific Coordinator).
    4. The Board remains stable and does not suffer from resignations
due to dysfunction.

Should any of these conditions fail to be met, the National Council
may opt to withdraw the Party from PPI at its discretion.

- ----

I propose to discuss this motion among your parties as I believe it
carries a mayor impact to the whole movement.

The German board (Vice Chair) is already informed and the German team
for the interational coordination will discuss this motion at our
meeting in August.

I recommend to re-read the minutes of the meeting of the board in
London. Esp. the part concernig an/the online assembly.

Best regards

Thomas
