[Antonio Garcia]

Gregory Engels' backyard is still the most probable definitive venue, no matter what the merits of other candidatures?

> Dear Members of PPI!
> 
> We are looking for a port to dock to for our next big assembly!
> 
> Call for Hosts
> 
> Pirate Parties International is looking for a host of its next General
> Assembly!
> 
> Pirate Parties International calls for offers to host our next annual
> PPI conference and General Assembly. According to the statutes of the
> PPI, the General Assembly of the PPI meets once a year. That means the
> next PPI conference will be held in 2015.
> 
> 
> Next main PPI GA - 2015
> 
> Pirate Parties International calls for offers to host the next annual
> PPI conference and General Assembly. We are looking for a location with
> local volunteers who have an eye for detail and are able to organise and
> host our main international event.
> 
> The PPI Conference is a great event to host as it is the main gathering
> of the international Pirate Movement. Hosting it will create marvellous
> results; it will give the host country visibility far beyond your
> internal PPI activities and will make a real impact on your local Pirate
> community.
> 
> A brief overview of the requirements is given below.
> 
> The PPI Conference is a two and a half day event, held over the course
> of a weekend. In 2012, we had a total of around 250 attendees including
> press. Depending on the geographic location, this year we expect an
> increase of about 15% as newly admitted Members and new Membership
> Applicants are entitled to send in a delegation of up to 6
> representatives. Currently, the maximum number of official delegates is
> 276 (29 ordinary members, 6 observer members and, as of the moment of
> writing, 11 membership applicants) but this is not a final figure and
> still has the potential to go up. Should the Parties to the GA not use
> their full contingent of delegation spaces, additional participants from
> the general public will be admitted to fill the space.
> 
> The Program of Conference is usually structured as follows:
> 
> Friday is used for travel, arrival and the pre-registration of most
> attendees. During the day, smaller topical pre-meetings happen, some in
> an ad hoc arrangement and some more formally. Friday evening is the
> welcome party and social event, usually held in an off-site restaurant
> or other location. Saturday and Sunday the actual Conference and General
> Assembly is held.
> 
> The statutes require the Pirate Parties International to have a General
> Assembly once a year and we traditionally aim to hold it in March or
> April, but you are free to offer alternative dates which we will consider.
> 
> The proposal should include:
> - Details of the conference venue (infrastructure, facilities, Internet
> connectivity, on-site catering etc.)
> - A reasonably detailed budget
> - Information about local community support; core team members,
> potential local industry and government support (if possible)
> - Lodging options and overview of airports, railway stations, public
> transport options etc.
> 
> Applications must be sent to the board of PPI at board (at) pp (dash)
> international (dot) net
> 
> You can find a list of requirements for your offer and more information
> on the conference on our wiki page
> http://wiki.pp-international.net/GA-2015_Call_for_Hosts
> 
> 
> Milestones:
> 01.06.2014 - publishing the call for offers
> 01.07.2014 - deadline for applications
> 03.07.2014 - mumble conference with all offers/public offer opening.
> 05.07.2014 - discussion of submitted offers in the RL PPI Board meeting
> in London
> 07.07.2014 - begin of voting by PPI members after the offer approval by
