You obviously have spent much time<br>> and energy in it, as well as in inviting and encouraging us folks to take part in its writing;<br>> however you must keep in mind that many of us have to face other issues in our national<br>> parties and in our
personal or professional lives.<br>> <br>> Please, please keep that in mind, and do not think that lack of participation has to mean a lack of<br>> interest.<br><br>I didn't say "<span style="font-style: italic;">Parti Pirate has no interest</span>"; I just said that I miss the <a href="http://int.piratenpartei.de/Pirate_Manifesto_parties_at_a_glance#Parti_Pirate"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Parti Pirate's briefing</span></a>. However, until 31st of August you're still on time to deliver it :) Just a brief summary of your stances is required, won't take much time to make it. It would be great to have it, specially it being a requirement for pirate parties for being allowed to participate in Pirate Manifesto's Stage Two -amendments to First Draft-; please try it, try to make an effort, I'm sure it won't take much time.<br><br>> Now, to answer Rick's question about the purpose of the Manifesto:<br><br>> That is exactly what the
Manifesto is for (as is the Uppsala declaration, granted): to introduce<br>> who we are, what we stand for, what we believe in, what we're trying to achieve. Isn't it nice?<br><br>You're entirely right :)<br><br>> I think the Uppsala declaration is a good document, and some parts of it could/should probably<br>> go into the Introduction of the Manifesto when we get there.<br><br>In July, after Uppsala Declaration, I explained in a series of mails why PIRATA rejected Uppsala Declaration -by the way, a Declaration still not signed by any single pirate party apart from Piratpartiet-. The main one, though not the only one, was not being willing to merge with a traditional parliamentary group, nor allowing that group to command us what to vote on non-core issues.<br><br>We would may retake that debate, however some people complained about having it within the mailing list; so it's up to everyone whether to choose another place to debate about it, or
-in a different thread- doing it within this mailing list.<br><br>> So, in a nutshell: please, people, please, play nice and be patient with each other<br><br>I agree specially with the play nice -play fairly- part. Regards,<br><br><br> Carlos
