<br>Totally agreed. You (and everyone who supports the acceptance of the amendments) is right. I know how it sucks to work for nothing, so I agree that the amendments should be accepted this time. I just also would like to point out that we can't get used to doing this. When we get out of Pirate Party International and start working with official deadlines we won't be able to do this.<br>

Perhaps I can make a useful suggestion.<br>
<br>
1. Inclusion of an amendment at this stage means that there will be a<br>
vote on it, so that the parties/members can decide to accept it or not.<br>
<br>
2. Rejecting an amendment at this stage denies them the chance to vote on it.<br>
There is nothing good in that.<br>
<br>
3. The main reason to have a deadline for amendments is to assure that<br>
the vote can be held and will not be postponed forever.<br>
<br>
4. Accepting some amendments a few hours "late" will not interfere<br>
with that goal, so there is no need to be so strict.<br>
<br>
Thus, it is best to keep those amendments.<br>
