Dear Court of Arbitration

Please accept our following complaint for consideration.

Please acknowledge receipt of this email as soon as possible.

Thanks,

## Complaint
To guarantee the proper functioning of PPI the neutrality of it board
members is needed. This is defined in the statutes of PPI in section XII.
(1). In a formal mail from the Vice Chairman of PPDE there is a quote that
makes it clear that PPDE does not respect this section of the statutes and
also implicates Thomas Gaul. In the quote in question, it is made clear
that Thomas is not being considered a representative for the whole
movement, but for PP-DE alone.

Quote in question:
"Thomas is committed to us as one of the international coordinators for the
Pirate Party of Germany, therefore, he represents the party and its
interests. This I ask you to respect accordingly."

The email in question:

Statutes segment that is being violated:
XII. (1) Pirate Parties International is managed by the Board, the
executive organ. The members of the Board shall consider the interests of
the Pirate movement as a whole and shall neither consider themselves, nor
be considered, as representing any particular Member or non-member
Organization or region.

## Challenge

This challenge relates to CoA powers [XIV (3) d) & f)] & [VII (2)]
references:
http://wiki.pp-international.net/Statutes#XIVa._Court_of_Arbitration
http://wiki.pp-international.net/Statutes#VII._Termination_of_Membership

On behave of the Board of PPI we ask the CoA to make a formal ruling
determining the severity of the infraction and what actions need to be
taken to rectify the situation. The board also requests that the CoA looks
into the relationships between Gregory Engels, PPI and PPDE to determine if
a similar problem exists here.
