You are absolutely correct, my mistake, in the copy/paste the last word
"website" must have stuck in my mind.
Anyway, what needs to be in the "homepage" is the "invitation", not the
"announcement" which is just in the "website"

By the way the requirement that  "The invitation will be sent out by

Ambiguous indeed but although XIVa(6) "The Court of Arbitration may answer
the preliminary questions of the organs and individuals about the
interpretation of the Statutes and the internal regulations; such answers
act through their persuasiveness only", so it is again up to everyone to
stick to their opinion or be "persuaded" to agree with whatever decision of
interpretation they take, but no-one is "obliged" to agree or be bound to
act by their answer.
Ultimately only one organ can solve this ambiguity: IX(1) The General
Assembly is the supreme body of Pirate Parties International and is
composed of all the Members of that association"

Pirate regards,
Nuno
