[pp.int.general] Fwd: [pp-leaders] Call for Hosts - General Assembly 2015

Sun Jun 1 14:12:36 CEST 2014

Not sure if it would be an honour to host the 2015 PPI GA if it has to be the one where the proceedings of the 2012, 2013 and 2014 PPI GA are to be declared VOID and statutes restored to their 2012 version.

Because that is EXACTLY what will have to happen there if as usual nobody has bothered to solve that one "little pending problem" before.

I'll be preparing the world to have an eye on pirate issues well before the event...

... ignore me once again at your own peril.

If you can't be honest... you ain't pirates.

> Pirate Parties International is looking for a host of its next General

> 
> Pirate Parties International calls for offers to host our next annual

> 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.
