[pp.int.general] Invitation to the PPI General Assembly 2011

Wed Jan 19 20:19:13 CET 2011

and why, for the first time, a location was not actively sought out and
organised (as was done in the past, especially as now we have a board
which is supposed to do that), and why the established guidelines of
having it in a different country each time was ignored.

Also, is the new board going to be elected before the new statutes, or
vice versa (it makes a BIG difference, when you're elected, and you
don't even know the details of the job and powers you've been elected to do)
