I'd never even heard of it.

In fact, the discussion of what's going on was EXACTLY what this list
was set up to do. Sometimes people tend to forget that media is not
limited to one country, but watches the world, and so we can be
questioned about events that are pirate related, but happening
elsewhere. If we don't know about them ahead of time, then we're
thinking off the cuff or admitting 'we don't know', and that just
doesn't look good.

It's also something I've been pushing the PPI to do as well, pushing a
brief precis of meeting topics and actions in here once a week "this was
discussed with this result".
