Betreff: [Aktive] Pirate Parties International conference in Brussels 16 -18 
April

===8<=================== Original Nachrichtentext ===================
FYI - http://www.pp-international.net/node/470

On 16-18 April 2010, 70 representatives of Pirate Parties from 22
countries will meet in Brussels to form the umbrella organization
Pirate Parties International (PPI), prepare a common declaration of
principles for Pirate Parties and elect the first official board of
the PPI. On Sunday 18 at 14:00 (local time) a press conference will be
held to inform the public about the outcome of the discussions and
give the newly elected board the opportunity to present the
organization.

The representatives, including Rick Falkvinge, initiator of the Pirate
movement, will have the occasion to meet with the Pirate Members of
the European Parliament, Christian Engström and Amelia Andersdotter.
?This conference is a great opportunity to strengthen the bonds
between the existing Pirate Parties and create an organization that
helps coordinating the efforts of every single Pirate Party in the
world? says Christian Engström, Swedish Pirate MEP since 2009.
?International cooperation is a necessity in order to expand the
pirate ideas. Examples like the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement
(ACTA) and INDECT show that there is a need for a strong umbrella
organization like Pirate Parties International to fight for a
copyright reform, against surveillance and the Pirate agenda in
general. ?

The idea behind an umbrella organization for the Pirate movement was
born in 2007, and brought to fruition when representatives from five
countries appointed the ?Coreteam? with the task to coordinate the
international Pirate movement and lay the foundations for the creation
of an official international organization. Since 2009 PPI has helped
in the creation and management of several new Pirate Parties now
active in over 40 countries all over the world.

?At this conference in Brussels the PPI will get the democratic
legitimacy it deserves. The delegates will lay the foundation for an
umbrella organization that represents every Pirate Party around the
globe. This is a milestone event for the Pirate movement.? says
Coreteam Co-President Jerry Weyer from Luxembourg.

On Friday 16 April the conference will start with a tour of the
European Parliament and the opening speech by Christian Engström,
followed by a presentation by Dr Jason Rutter on Open Source
publishing in academia. During Saturday 17 April the delegates will
discuss and vote the statutes and common declaration for all Pirate
Parties. The new board of the PPI will be elected on Sunday 18 April
and present the results of the conference at a press conference. The
press conference will take place Sunday 18 April at Rue des Ailes
3,1030 Brussels and will start at 14:00 (local time) and be open to
all journalists.
