Pirate Party Australia would be in favour of an entirely online  
General Assembly conference in 2013 (and beyond).

I disagree that "it makes way more sense to have it in Europe." I  
doubt 2014 would not be in Europe, however I was under the impression  
PPEU could organise their own events in relation to the European  
Parliament elections in 2014. PPI could select a non-EU (or non- 
European) host for 2014 too, as it is Pirate Parties International,  
and leave PPEU to choose a location for an event for the convenience  
of European parties.
