PRs stands for Public Relations (/Relaciones Públicas/, or RRPP, in 
Spanish). It's main officer is Ignacio Blanco, and his equivalent 
officer within PPI would be Andrew Norton.

Being limited in our PRs efforts due to our limited amount of members 
-compared with other pirate parties-, PRs duties are:

- to spread PIRATA news -through the streets, via Internet (blogs, 
youTube, digg-like sites, etc), to mass media (with almost no success 
up-to-date), etc-; it's like a press proxy
- to receive information and requests from civic group and citizens
- to work on gaining more members, i.e., more human resources to be able 
to gain /muscle/ which allows us to have more operativeness; there is a 
sort of virtuous/vicious circle, "/the more members you have, the more 
easiness you have to gain more members/" / "/the less members you have, 
the less easiness you have to gain more members/" ... using a common 
figure of speech, the frontier between those two scenarios is defined by 
the /critic mass/
- to launch merchandising and other money-collection efforts -we haven't 
been able yet to do it because of people in PIRATA being scared with 
Spanish bureaucracy-

It's due to me appreciating your proposal, not just because of being 
good, but simply because of being a proposal. I agree on the fact that 
we all, the pirate parties, should give more importance to PPI by 
activating it, as if we achieve to make this work, it will highly 
influence in a positive manner our home chances to get seats. We should 
make manpower from our national parties available to Andrew Norton, to 
be able to quickly launch joint PPI press releases and other joint 
efforts which would make us gain a decisive media focus. Regards,
