[pp.int.general] GA Rules of Procedure

[Zbigniew Łukasiak]

Reading the transcript from the day 2 (http://archive.is/0rVK# - the
one Antonio sent to this list - anyone can confirm that it is
correct?) I noted some passages that are about stuff that could be
improved when making rules for the next GA

1. Line 110.

Remark: the voting rules were changed without voting on that.

This one needs a bit more explanation.

2. Lines 101 and later - video presentation of Andrew Norton is cut
short at 3 minutes then voted to continue.

This needs to be resolved in Rules of Procedure.

3. Line 130 - is it required that personal elections are done with a
secret ballot?  How to do that with remote participants?

I understand that at the GA it was assumed that the ballot does not
need to be secret - I would like to see a more detailed explanation of
this.  I know that according to Polish law all personal elections
inside associations, parties etc. need to be done with a secret ballot
- I am not sure if this is the same in the Belgian law and if it
applies to the kind of organization that is PP INT.

4. Line 154

Motion Pirate Party Netherlands: move everyone that is not a delegate
to the open-space to control the focus and noise level in the main
room (only guest must move, no press, staff or candidates)

I guess we need to assume that it will be similar at the next meeting
and take precautions.

5. Board elections had to be repeated a few time.

This needs to be taken into account in the timetable.

6. Line 322

Motion: elections for co-presidency is invalid, because of the name
used "Lola", which does not match the name on her passport.

This is trivial thing - but it takes time!

7. The Catalan membership.  This have been discussed to death.  I am
not against Catalans, and I would like that this was resolved
according to the statutes and without juggling with word semantics.
This is also a practical lessons for us why we need precise language
and why we need to look at other statutes and copy the formulations -
for international organisations it is common to use 'sovereign state'
instead of 'country' exactly because of the lack of precision in the
second case.

Cheers,
Zbigniew Łukasiak
