I donīt know about secured areas within the internet, I would not trust them these days. If there is stuff to write that some people should not see, maybe itīs better not to write it at all ; ) Jouni<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

If you are in a hurry, read at least 2.1 and spread the word about!<br><br>1. monthly chat<br><br>1.1 During my (still ongoing) time in the board of the German pirate party I<br>learned to hate latenight (open) discussions in IRC. Textchat is efficient
<br>for voting, pasting text and ascii art. It behaves badly if it comes to<br>expressing long, complex statements in your foreign language.<br><br>1.2 As we are a global movement the time shift will erase every possible time
<br>for a regular (!) meeting. Therefore I prefer email and urge you to simply<br>use it more intensiveley (and think about 2., 4.)<br><br>2. task forces<br><br>2.1 One the Vienna international conference we agreed on starting several task
<br>forces (or international working groups). I think now it is the time to get<br>them running. I will promote them to the German pirates during our next<br>newsletter (approx betwean today and sunday). I will promote the int. wiki
<br>page <a href="http://wiki.pp-international.net/Task_Forces">http://wiki.pp-international.net/Task_Forces</a> as a concentration point<br>for all volunteers. I ask you to do so in your party, too!<br><br>2.2 Task forces should issue monthly reports on their progress
<br><br>2.3 Task forces may reduce the neccesarity of getting all int. pirates<br>together by splitting up problems.<br><br>3. Re: press releases from the int. pirates: about a board of the int. pirates<br>we should continue to discuss. A part of this discussion will take place
<br>within the Legal Team (one of the working groups), especially about election<br>details and how to form a legal body (or if, at all)<br><br>4. I agree that all parties should paste their press releases and important<br>
movements wihtin their country to this mailinglist. For the later I suggest<br>regular digest. Hopefully I can motivate somebody to do this for Germany ..<br>Christoph Leng, how it is about you?<br><br>Regards,<br>Jan Huwald

<br>> it going in your country" and its one I also have to ask.<br>><br>> We're not communicating well between each other, or again, thats my<br>> perception. It would be nice, for instance, to know when national groups
<br>> put out a press release about something (you are putting out press releases<br>> and stuff, right?)<br>><br>> The other thing is there is no real 'private' communication between us all.<br>> This mailing list is open to anyone that wants to be on it. Whilst that
<br>> might be great in some aspects, its not so good in others, especially if<br>> there's any sort of discussion over anything that might cause controversy.<br>><br>> What I would like to propose is that we just start talking more, and
<br>> talking smarter. 1)Some sort of monthly meeting, on IRC, or any other<br>> method, between different party members, so we can all keep each other<br>> informed about how things are going. 2)Some sort of secured area, just for
<br>> party members, so we can discuss things in private, even if it's just a<br>> moderator-approved-join list. 3)That we each announce press releases to a<br>> list, be it this one, or another one, so we al are kept abreast of each
<br>> party's breaking news, and can either make support statements or whatever<br>> may be needed. Maybe even the 'international Pirate Party' issues the said<br>> releases, in the name of each national party. Dunno how feasible that is,
<br>> but its worth thinking about. I'm more than willing to help out with time,<br>> and effort. Right now, due to the main composition of the US party<br>> supporters, many of our people are otherwise occupied. In addition, the
<br>> regulations for registering a party here are difficult, and seem designed<br>> to make forming a party near impossible reason, despite being 'in<br>> existence' for almost a year, we'll probably be one of the last party's to
<br>> officially become a political party.<br>><br>> Andrew Norton<br>> PPUS International Liaison<br>><br>> ____________________________________________________<br>> Pirate Parties International - General Talk
