[pp.int.general] ACTA

[Roderick]

We are all aware that the spectre of the seemingly inevitable Anti- 
Counterfeit Trade Agreement (ACTA) looms on the horizon - yet we have  
no solid statement on it internationally (as far as I am aware  
anyway). I believe this is something we should make some collective  
noise about. Although there is some information available from  
Wikileaks and other limited information provided by various discussion  
papers and commentary, the process itself has been far from  
transparent and democratic, despite the ramifications we can foresee  
from the little information we do have - yet the scariest part is that  
industry seems to have had unfettered input and access in its drafting.

To the end of formulating a joint PPI stance, I've kicked off the  
beginning of a draft:

http://int.piratenpartei.de/ACTA

To condemn the process and intention re: our platform, and to demand  
publication of the draft ACTA. Criticisms, suggestions, observations  
in general?

It probably needs to be re-edited, and grammatically adjusted and  
added to, but it is something we should do before weeks end, if not  
sooner.

Regards

Rod
