[pp.int.general] court of arbitration

[Maxime Rouquet]

Hi all,

The Court of Arbitration was created by an amendment of the Statutes
adopted on March 12th. It was easy to anticipate that things would be
complicated, but the majority of the Members of the PPI decided to
create it anyway...

As it was not anticipated, the Members present in Friedrichshaffen (and
the ones connected from remote) had to find members for this court and
elect them at the last moment on March the 13th.

Everybody was free to run candidate but as mostly European parties were
present, it is not surprising that only people from these countries ran
candidate.

It is an independent organ from the Board, which explains why they had
no particular reason to speak about it.
