[pp.int.general] Italian Pirate Party - Scandal

[MRE]

Dear Pilar,

So, if I understood well, to register to the Italian Pirate Party you
need that someone who is already a member somehow certifies the new
members.

And all these people that you represent and want to vote in the
Italian liquid feedback system have been certified in particular by
Carlo Brancati, who has been, if I understood correctly, at least
partly banned from some PP-IT lists and the liquid feedback system
through a voting in the liquid feedback itself?

For the PPI to issue any kind of arbitration on this issue, all
parties (the people who want to become members, PP-IT, and the PPI
itself) should agree that this is what they want. Then I guess a
comission of qualified volunteers or something of the sort should be
formed so that they can investigate the matter in depth.

Any opinion we state in this list is basically useless, because PPI
does not rule over the parties, and this list does not represent PPI
anyway. I believe that if you all want/accept PPI as an arbitrator you
should send a formal request to the board.

Best regards,

                Muriel
