Dear Andrew,

you'll have to ask the General Assembly about it.

But for once, there had been amendment to the statutes about a full
Court of Arbitration. As that had been accepted by the General Assembly
the Court of Arbitration had to be elected asap.

Have a look at the statutes: (Not yet cross-checked)
<http://www.ceskapiratskastrana.cz/wiki/en:zo:docs:ppi_statutes>

The now member of the Court of Arbitration have been proposed within and
elected by the General Assembly. Not taking into account which country
or continent they grew up or live.

Any member could have proposed other candidates, even by proxy as remote
attendent.

PP-US did not participate to my knowlegde. PP-CA did, as did others.

Please keep your critics in mind for the next General Assembly. So
better go ahead and minimize the risk that only Member of European
Parties are elected, propose candidates - as you have been a candidate
for the board, sponsored by PP-UK.

Best regards
