Hi Antonio,

I rejoined this list after years of having avoided it due to constant
demoralisation and trolling simply to respond to this message.

The PPI board restricted the last date for an online GA to March 16. I
worked my f**king ass off for the period of time between January 6[1] to
January 24[2] to draft a workable online general assembly proposal that
met the requirements of the statutes and was flexible enough to correct
any errors as they occur.

I also managed to migrate from Australia to Sweden in that time, and
have suffered from pneumonia. I still put my proposal to the board on
Saturday and after some unrelated drama, it passed with a sufficient
"majority" to be considered valid.

I proposed the draft for the proposal to the pp-leaders list on the
20th, as that was the earliest I could do so due to illness and
migration. Some modifications were requested and made in response to the
feedback.

Yes, we have 3 weeks to write statute amendment proposals, and 4 more
weeks to discuss and offer amendments as required. Getting a base
proposal together within three weeks is not too hard with people as
dedicated as myself working on the issues.

You will be granted constant opportunities for input compared with
previous GAs as it was designed to enable as much participation as
possible within the constraints given by the board and the statutes.

I look forward to everyone working constructively to make PPI an
collaborative organisation for coordinating our respective parties, and
put this old culture of harassment and demoralisation behind us.

Let's start anew.
