That will be too late. Hard for members to discuss and vote on it, in
time FOR Helsinki, if you're going to wait until then, especially as
not every party will be there; no US, no Australia, who knows who else
won't be there. Best not bother then. Yet again, all talk, and no
show.

If you put half as much effort into doing stuff, as you did in writing
your emails, Reinier, the Dutch party would probably be ready to seat
their first candidate next election.
