I mean the basic commitments that we have to take. <br> <br> We don't need a complicated process to write it. I think we know more or less the basic. I start a draft <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://int.piratenpartei.de/Building_the_principles_of_PPI">http://int.piratenpartei.de/Building_the_principles_of_PPI</a><br> <br> 2) Concerning the PPI new name "Pirate Parties International", I noticed that the most of pirates continues to refer to PPI as Pirate Party International. We did not have enough discussion about this change. The most activists of pirate activists reffer to PPI as "Pirate Party International" because sounds much better and they recognize that we are part of international movement with the same aims, no matter national or regional differences. <br> <br> I understand that the former name suggest a great of responsabilities that the coreteam are not ready to take. But it could change after the PPI Conference.<br> <br> I suggest to open a <b>public consultation</b> before decision. To do this easely we can use tools like <a href="http://www.reddit.com">reddit</a>.<br> <br> Finally, I noticed that there are links in the PPI'site to pirate parties that do not exist yet, like China or South Africa; or fake site, like Peru (with a offensive message against us). Who are that guys? We have to cheke better before to include a new PP in our network.<br> <br> best regards,<br> <br> Jorge<br> Partido Pirata - Brasil<br> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.partidopirata.org">www.partidopirata.org</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> </div> ____________________________________________________<br>Pirate Parties International - General Talk<br><a href="mailto:pp.international.general@lists.pirateweb.net">pp.international.general@lists.pirateweb.net</a><br><a href="http://lists.pirateweb.net/mailman/listinfo/pp.international.general">http://lists.pirateweb.net/mailman/listinfo/pp.international.general</a><br></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
