'Most of the parties' doesn't apply here, since many didn't get to
vote. This is (part of) why the issue was brought before the CoA to
begin with.

For a more detailed description of what lead to this ruling, I gladly
refer to an article we published on Pirate Times about this.

I don't think the requested ruling by the CoA on the legitimacy of the
GA in Paris was ever even addressed formally, so there's that.

@ Thomas: would you like to write an article on Pirate Times, similar
to your e-mail? I'd love to publish an 'official' statement of PPI,
looking back on what has been accomplished in the past year. Feel free
to shoot me an e-mail at lisa at piratetimes.net if you're interested. :)

Happy new year, pirates!
