I agree kenneth,<br><br>I think a positive way is organize the the next conference and learn by errors of PPI. I think Andrew have their reasons and this will be considered in the next conference, I hope. I have the intention to be present in the next conference despite the fact of pirate party of Brazil is passing by the same obstacles like bureaucracy and difficult to do things clear. I have many ideas about PPI that I plan expose on the next conference. <br>
<br>Now, I propose that PPI use your statutes-based banking account to raise funds to the next conference. This don't need to be passed by 3 ou 5 IRC meetings, this is a permanent work. I don't have news about PPI's money, Is ZERO? It is? No problem, we can start raise funds now. PPI is silent in many points and I can't stand this. <br>
<br>So PPI board, I beg, start raise funds and give the chance for the next conference whatever the place. Help to organize the next conference. <br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Rodrigo Pereira<br>Brazil<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>I have issues. I have issues with how PPI is run. and I did make a<br>
proposal. I proposed, 10 days ago, that the board act like big boys, and<br>
stand behind their actions, and honestly judge themselves, as they would<br>
judge others.<br>
<br>
Frankly, if you don't like people being called out for their actions,<br>
and publicly shamed for them (because there's no other way, it seems, to<br>
replace the board this side of April, except by shaming them with their<br>
(in)actions into resigning) then you might want to take your toys, and<br>
go home. Or is it ok for you to do that to established politicians, but<br>
not to those that CLAIM to support the same things.<br>
<br>
Andrew<br>
<br>
(and there's other US pirates on here, but none have the years of<br>
experience of dealing with this list and the people on it, as I have,<br>
nor am I alone in my dissatisfaction)<br>
