I agree with that. While Manifesto is really important -and by the way, let's gonna do the final effort since next sunday is Stage One's deadline-, it's also essential to develop the inner mechanisms that allow us to be fully operative.

We actually dealt with such issues 7 months ago in Berlin; together with the encouraging of a Pirate Manifesto, French Parti Pirate encouraged a joint PPI's IT Group; Swedish Piratpartiet encouraged a joint PRs Group; and so on. Up to date, no one of these goals have been, not only fulfilled, but even seen how the works to get them fulfilled started. I truly think that, to be an active and operative movement, as Roderick points, we need to launch those mechanisms and task forces, and secure that they work properly.

Many things regarding PPI have to be dealt; with Pirate Manifesto we've dealt with many, but not with all -specially with the organizative ones-. However, as you point, I think we should have to.

That's it: we should keep pushing towards the First Draft. The more parties involved in its editing -once we have thecommon stances- the less amendments will be required. Sunday's coming! Regards,
