Regards,<br>> 1) I was quite clear as to what priorities I believe are the correct ones in my last post. Now is a<br>> time for action, not for crossing Ts and dotting Is.<br><br>I'm not talking about now. I'm talking about two months ago -start of Stage Two (8 months before EU Election)- till now; I'm talking about four months ago -start of Stage One
(10 months before EU Election)- and the following two months; I even talk about the gap between 1st of February -you attended Berlin Conference, you agreed in working in the Pirate Manifesto (that was <span style="font-weight: bold;">15 months before EU Election</span>)- and Uppsala Conference. This is not a matter of time.<br><br>So no, you haven't been clear, not about the Manifesto (worldwide issue, we are working on it right now), neither about the platform (EU-wide issue, still unsolved).<br><br>> 2) You sound accusatory, when the burden of proof lies on you. If you do not rally enough<br>> supporters to a cause, in this case a declaration with signatures, it is not the people who aren't<br>> interested who are at fault;<br><br>Parti Pirate is participating -read Florian & Valentin-; Piraten Partei Deutschland is participating -read Jens, Mirco, etc-; Piraattipuolue is participating -read Anton & Gagis-; PPUS is participating -ask
Andrew-; Pirate Party Australia is participating -ask Roderick-; Partido Pirata is participating -ask ... me-; that makes 6 parties active during Stages 1 & 2, and also Partia Piratow, Piraten Partei Oesterreich, Piraten Partij and Piratpartiet Danemark -4 more, <span style="font-weight: bold;">up to ten pirate parties participating</span>- which were pretty active at least in Stage One.<br><br>There is, however, a party which has not attended to almost any Stage One session; which has not proposed any amendment; and which Board's Chairman openly admits not to be interested in the Pirate Manifesto. That party is your party.<br><br>> it is you who have failed to sell the case. If you want more people to participate, explain why it<br>> is beneficial to them to do so<br><br>About explaining why it is beneficial to Piratpartiet to participate in a Pirate Manifesto, ok, let's try: why it was beneficial when you proposed <a
href="http://www.piratpartiet.se/wiki/Pirate_Manifesto"><span style="font-weight: bold;">this Pirate Manifesto</span></a> -written by you, Rick; by the way, your proposal wasn't a platform-like one, but a manifesto-like one-? I think the idea of a manifesto was as valid then as it's now.<br><br>So, let me ask again: why are you willingly not participating in Pirate Manifesto development? i.e., why are you not interested in a Pirate Manifesto?

Ayala<br> ( Aiarakoa )<br><br> Partido Pirata National Board's Chairman<br></div></div></div><br>
