[pp.int.general] Report

[Lola Voronina]

Fellow Pirates,

In the position of PPI Co-Chairwoman I was doing administrative work,
including some tasks of Chief Administrative Officer, such as updating
mailing lists, preparing board meeting agendas, sending announcements,
updating social media, etc.

I managed to receive all the necessary paperwork from the notary in
Brussels to transfer the PPI HQ from the old board to the new and started
to collect signatures, but when we had to get the last one out of 5, it got
lost.

Represented PPI on the conferences:
Neumunster - Pirate Party of Germany General Assembly
Dortmund - Pirate Party of North Rhine-Westphalia General Assembly
Paris - Pirate Party of France General Assembly
Bochum - Pirate Party of Germany General Assembly
Belgium - Pirate Party of Belgium General Assembly
and in the media by giving interviews for Russian and international press.

In the beginning of December 2012 I lost all the motivation to work for the
movement whose members are constantly fighting with each other and prevent
others from doing their work. Creating problems, like keeping the PPI money
on their accounts and refusing to fulfill the promises that they made in
order to bring the PPI GA to their country. I couldn't work any longer for
an organization whose members are blackmailing each other and making
working people resign from office out of spite. I have not participated
much in PPI work since then.
I got tired of not being able to write and publish whatever I wanted on my
personal Twitter and Facebook accounts without being criticized for it
behind my back. I didn't want to read my private E-Mails on public mailing
lists over and over again. I couldn't invest anymore time and money on this
position when clearly Pirates didn't want PPI to work. Without money,
without resources, without help this is not possible. But instead of
letting the few people work that want to invest time, we were constantly
insulted, blocked from working, criticized by members of the old board or
candidates that couldn't get elected, we were running after money that was
promised to us. Constant mistrust is what the international Pirate movement
looks like from my perspective.

I know there are hard and good working Pirates out there and I would like
to thank all the good people that I met in PPI and because of PPI, I hope
we will stay in touch. And a very special thanks to the PPI board! It was
pleasure working with you!

Thank you all!

Fair winds,

Lola
