[pp.int.general] Pirate Parties International Conference Kazan 2013

[mattias.bjarnemalm at piratpartiet.se]

The Swedish Pirate Party has since the start used a forum platform for 
our general assemblies. Over the years we have developed quite a few 
fetures to make it more suitable for online assemlies. They are entirely 
text based and nowadays spans 6 weeks so that people can attend 
regardless of when they have the time to be online. Any single round of 
voting spans at least 24 hours to facilitate that everyone can vote.

I am pretty sure a similar model would work for PPI, which, given its 
delegate system, would have far less participants.

If ppi where interested I am sure we could provide the technical 
know-how of how to set up a web forum.

All the best
