Dear members of PPI,
board of PPI,<br>
<br>
For the possible General Assembly of the coming weekend, the 12th
and 13th of April 2014 in Paris, we propose the following:
<br>
<br>
Sponsor: Piratenpartij (Pirate Party Netherlands)
<br>
<br>
Member of Pirate Party: Gijs Peskens, acting International
Coordinator of Piratenpartij (Pirate Party Netherlands)
<br>
<br>
Considering that:
<br>
<br>
- for the sound, democratic functioning of Pirate Parties
International it is required that members are able to inform
themselves,
<br>
<br>
- it is preferable for many members to be physically present at
General Assemblies,
<br>
<br>
- this General Assembly has been announced no earlier than XXX,
<br>
<br>
- the Statutes clearly state a General Assembly is to be
announced at least 5 weeks in advance both by invitation to members
and by publication on the website,
<br>
<br>
- decisions <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>do<span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i> need to be made where further
delay is unacceptable, and
<br>
<br>
- credibility concerning the General Assembly and PPI is at
stake when democracy is lacking within the decision making process,
<br>
<br>
<br>
Piratenpartij (Pirate Party Netherlands) moves, in seperate motions,
to:
<br>
<br>
- ask the General Assembly and Board not to make any decisions
regarding members unable to be present unless explicitly requested
by said members or regarding issues not requiring direct attention,
<br>
<br>
- view all decisions, elections, etc, as temporary decisions to
be reaffirmed at the next General Assembly, and
<br>
<br>
- hold a new, extraordinary,Ggeneral Assembly session within 6
months, though preferably <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>after<span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>
the elections for the European Parliament (Piratenpartij (Pirate
Party Netherlands) is willing to organise or assist in organising
said assembly), or
<br>
<br>
- alternatively, to hold an online General Assembly within 4
months, for which the proposals and discussions will be handled
beforehand in public view, and the actual assembly will be a mere
matter of voting.
<br>
<br>
On behalf of Piratenpartij (Pirate Party Netherlands),
<br>
<br>
