>
> Hello delegates. I am Brendan Molloy from Pirate Party Australia, and I am
> standing for a position on the Pirate Parties International board. For the
> past two years I have been elected Secretary of Pirate Party Australia, and
> I have previously held posts within their media and IT/Systems teams. I
> work in the software industry and am currently studying an engineering
> degree part-time.
>
> As a representative of Pirate Parties International, I would represent
> transparency and stability. Issues must be dealt with quickly and
> appropriately. Some matters should be resolved in the open before they
> spiral out of control, and others are more appropriately handled by
> forwarding the matter to the Court of Arbitration to be dealt with
> properly. I intend to ensure this happens as a member of the board.
>
> Electing me to the board of PPI would mean a new, non-European
> perspective. This creates greater diversity than just the dominant European
> parties, being more inclusive and improving overall attitudes of the Pirate
> Movement.
>
> Having been a remote delegate multiple times now, I also have first hand
> experience with the issues that remote delegates face, so should I be
> elected to the board, the next General Assembly would have far better
> handling of remote delegates.
>
> The current mish-mash of a mailing list and a wiki piggy-backing on PPDE's
> infrastructure is proving to not be the most effective mechanism for
> communication within PPI. I believe we can solve this through reviving the
> website with a more active website/blog, implementing moderation policies
> for the mailing lists in order to maintain some civility and make the
> website, and not the wiki, the focal point for PPI. I also believe that PPI
> should also offer technical services such as VPN access which should assist
> in alleviating the funding issues that PPI has faced since its inception.
>
> I would also like to see PPI become an observer member of WIPO in order to
> tip the balance back towards our platform, away from the exploitative
> content industry lobbyists.
>
> I have no interest in attaining close, personal relationships with members
> of the board, but instead have interest in creating working professional
> relationships for the betterment of our cause. You will find no personal
> quarrels instigated by me.
>
> I hope that gives you some insight into what a PPI board that includes me
> might achieve. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the rest of the conference.
>
> Good luck to the other candidates!
