[pp.int.general] court of arbitration

[Brendan Molloy]

All I could think while reading this is that you've proven the illegitimacy
of the court of arbitration as you Maxime,  one of the court's 'elected'
members, is unwilling to listen to, or dare I say, arbitrate, the issues
facing some members of PPI. It's disgusting.

For reasons such as the statements you have just made prove to me you are
insuitable for a position on the court of arbitration, because even in such
a situation as this, you are incapable  of facing the issues facing remote
delegates, and taking the weakest stance possible and pushing to further
limit their access.

The remote delegates put forward several proposals to the board that will
require minor modifications to the running of the assembly without direly
affecting the way it runs, and possibly improving the format for the benefit
of everybody.

If anything, there should be a proposal for an amendment enshrining the
equality of remote delegates with physical delegates. You people need to get
out of this "us and them" mindset. Europe is part of the World, and so are
we. What happens when the assembly is hosted in Australia, New Zealand or
North America?

Perhaps then Europe will wish they had taken greater notice of current
technology they could use to improve the situation for remote delegates, to
allow everyone to have an equal opportunity to have their voice heard and
actually take part.

I'm glad that fees weren't made mandatory, because right now, there is
absolutely no way I could justify paying them when members of PPI would be
happy to censure other members at their whim.

Disgraceful.
