It was a general rule as far as I'm aware. When I had to find a location
for the 4th conference  last January, when the Russian party disappeared
(it was supposed to be in St Petersburg) the German party offered
Berlin, And the swedes offered Stockholm. That upset some as it was
giving certain parties extra 'influence' in some ways. It may not have
the 'status' of the PPI statutes, but unlike them, this 'rule' has been
widely known for some considerable time (at least, to anyone that's
cared to talk about this in the past)

I believe I suggested Canada already (look down 28 lines). Elections
really have no part the location decision, because PPI is not running
for election. What it is trying to do is form a cohesive unit of
communication and cooperation between international parties. By
constantly holding the conferences in Europe, it's giving the finger to
the parties elsewhere, and should therefore be named 'Pirate Parties
Europe' not International.
