(5:06:17 PM) Sophia: Help !
(5:06:31 PM) Ikke: damsel in distress
(5:06:46 PM) Ikke: do I look like a knight in shining armor?
(5:06:51 PM) davidd: yes Ikke you do
(5:07:07 PM) Sophia: Whom do I adress to have a group registered with PPI ?
(5:07:19 PM) davidd: do you have twitter?
(5:07:25 PM) Ikke: the board I suppose
(5:08:04 PM) Sophia: Doń´t shine too much i hanvńt got my sunglasses on
(5:08:08 PM) davidd: Ikke what is the emailadress?
(5:08:36 PM) Sophia: f course I have twitter
(5:08:50 PM) davidd: send a tweet to @falkvinge
(5:09:10 PM) davidd: he'll point you to the right people
(5:09:12 PM) Ikke: good question davidd
(5:09:13 PM) Sophia: Ah, thanks
(5:09:33 PM) Ikke: dichter: you got work
(5:09:39 PM) Sophia: Thanks a lot
(5:09:49 PM) Ikke: dichter is engels right
(5:09:53 PM) davidd: dichter hardly ever reads this channel
(5:10:04 PM) davidd: i once got an anwser 3 days later
(5:10:06 PM) Ikke: the one who represents shell parties he sets up through ppi
(5:10:09 PM) Ikke: ok
(5:10:40 PM) Ikke: so he can bring the germans more votes in the ppeu formation process
(5:10:41 PM) davidd: but yes
(5:10:52 PM) Ikke: and all the other parties are leaving the ppeu cause of that asshattery
(5:10:56 PM) Ikke: that's you right dichter
(5:11:42 PM) davidd: dichter is gregory engels
(5:11:49 PM) Ikke: yes I wouldn't come here often either if I ere him lol
(5:11:51 PM) Ikke: were*
(5:12:11 PM) davidd: i heard something about ppch leaving
(5:12:15 PM) Ikke: ya
(5:12:16 PM) davidd: you know more about that Ikke?
(5:12:21 PM) Ikke: it's on the ppeu list
(5:12:24 PM) Ikke: no not really
(5:12:31 PM) Ikke: just that they do what the ppuk did
(5:12:37 PM) Ikke: they had enough too
(5:12:44 PM) Ikke: we should leave as well
(5:12:52 PM) Ikke: as ppnl
(5:13:46 PM) Ikke: if the germans are so desperate for power they use ppi to set up shell parties and then lobby them to be their 'representation' in the ppeu process
(5:14:00 PM) Ikke: take ppgr for example
(5:14:16 PM) Ikke: they mail 2 days before the manchester conference
(5:14:24 PM) Ikke: that they want to represent greece
(5:14:29 PM) Ikke: to ppgr
(5:14:59 PM) Ikke: 3 of the board say yes, 1 no, 3 abstain, hence 3/7 yes = failed
(5:15:28 PM) Ikke: not that that bothers dichter, he happily goes to manchester for ppgr
(5:15:31 PM) Ikke: and the funny part is
(5:15:52 PM) Ikke: ppgr didn't give him any instrcutions, but dare not say no because that would jeapordize their international relations
(5:16:02 PM) Ikke: being that dichter is co-president of the ppi
(5:17:22 PM) Ikke: seriously, we should sever our ties to these people
(5:18:10 PM) davidd: allthough i dont have high hopes for ppeu on the short term
(5:18:22 PM) davidd: i am not sure severing ties would make things better
(5:19:20 PM) Ikke: they readily abandon principles of open collaboration, transparancy and so on on such a relatively trivial matter as founding a european party
(5:19:21 PM) davidd: perhaps it is smarter to limit representing other nations to precommitted votes
(5:19:45 PM) Ikke: these people should not have a place in our midst
(5:19:49 PM) davidd: and not include those delegates to vote on unannounced procedural motions
(5:20:39 PM) Ikke: we should leave the lack of rules in tact so we can pick this sort out in a heartbeat and deal with them
(5:20:46 PM) Sophia: I'm astounted by your talks
(5:21:16 PM) davidd: there was a very ineffective ppeu meeting in manchester this weekend
(5:21:23 PM) Sophia: Yes
(5:21:34 PM) davidd: they got less than 10% planned done
(5:22:08 PM) davidd: the objectives of the ppeu are not clear
(5:22:15 PM) Sophia: I'heard they've agreed one sovereign state only one vote
(5:22:17 PM) davidd: as they are multiple
(5:22:39 PM) davidd: there are 2 reasons to start ppeu
(5:22:51 PM) Sophia: Money and ?
(5:23:09 PM) davidd: 1. non eu states are being fed up with ppi being almost exclusively about eu stuff
(5:23:48 PM) davidd: 2. upcoming euparliament elections in 17 months
(5:24:02 PM) Sophia: What do you mean exclusively about eu stuff ?
(5:24:27 PM) davidd: australia and canada have active pirateparties too
(5:24:47 PM) Sophia: I'm from france et they never tell us about PPI
(5:24:49 PM) Ikke: well, the european pirae parties are national parties, but we are in the european union which is holding increasing sway over the nations
(5:24:52 PM) davidd: but they can do almost nothing with most discussions in ppi
(5:25:02 PM) Ikke: so ppi was neccesary for the european parties to collaborate on that level
(5:25:16 PM) Ikke: however, it was foudned for worldwide parties
(5:25:28 PM) Ikke: so they were rather fed up with the eu-centrism
(5:25:31 PM) Ikke: hence ppeu
(5:25:38 PM) M2Ys4U: If I knew the PPGR stuff was going to hit the fan, I wouldn't have let Gregory have the delegation but 1) I didn't have time to check board minutes etc.; 2) I had an e-mail from a member of the board giving authorisation; 3) how each party assigns its delegation wasn't really my business as the conf organiser
(5:25:44 PM) davidd: but why not respect #ppi
(5:25:51 PM) davidd: and discuss this in #ppeu ?
(5:26:00 PM) davidd: ^^^
(5:26:02 PM) Sophia: I'm a member of an ethnic minirity we dońt agree with one state one vote
(5:27:24 PM) davidd: M2Ys4U well
(5:27:26 PM) Sophia: Why, the reason I'm still on #PPI is at least here I find answers and, otherwise...
(5:27:35 PM) M2Ys4U: it should be noted that the asshattery in PPEU is the same (but probably to a lesser extent) that's been happening in PPI for a while now
(5:27:51 PM) davidd: the greek president told the meeting that gregory's mandate wasnt admitted
(5:28:01 PM) davidd: but the next day he continued using it
(5:28:13 PM) davidd: the greek president resigned from the greek board
(5:28:19 PM) davidd: over this issue
(5:28:21 PM) Sophia: I want to build a group afiliated with PPI, no PPEU
(5:28:34 PM) Ikke: why choose the ethnic division, you could also fall divided based on income category as the socialst propose. Or you can fall divided based on religion, eye color I mean, be creative in the way you divide and conquer yourselfs
(5:28:52 PM) M2Ys4U: davidd: I was told, explicitly, that GR wasn't revoking the delegation
(5:29:38 PM) davidd: from that same board member that initially told you that gregory had the mandate?
(5:29:45 PM) davidd: or from a different board memebr?
(5:29:59 PM) Sophia: Anyway, it won ´t be called Ethnic minoryties but "Alternate minoryties",
(5:30:10 PM) davidd: btw thx for organising M2Ys4U
(5:30:22 PM) Sophia: How do you spell it ?
(5:30:25 PM) davidd: i followed some via the ustream
(5:32:21 PM) M2Ys4U: davidd: The original e-mail giving Gregory the delegation was from Mariotti Giorgio. Adrian Pappas was the person who raised the... questionably nature of the delegation
(5:32:29 PM) M2Ys4U: questionable *
(5:33:34 PM) davidd: yes that is the information i had too
(5:33:51 PM) M2Ys4U: [17:01:28] [-] [pappasadrian] as i already mentioned, this is not as much a problem of this conference, as it is an internal issue of PP-GR, apparently
(5:33:54 PM) M2Ys4U: [17:01:39] [-] [pappasadrian] do as you will
(5:33:56 PM) M2Ys4U: [17:02:08] [-] [awkorama] I reckon PP-EU has no means of checking the inner workings of every other pirate parties
(5:33:59 PM) M2Ys4U: [17:02:30] [-] [pappasadrian] yes, and that's why im not asking for a cancellation of the delegation or anything
(5:34:12 PM) M2Ys4U: so... that's, basically, all of the information I had to go on.
(5:34:19 PM) davidd: ok, yes i see
(5:34:42 PM) davidd: thx for clearing that op
(5:36:31 PM) M2Ys4U: and davidd: No problem, I'm enthusiastic about having a potential PPEU so I was happy to organise

(5:36:38 PM) M2Ys4U: it's just a shame that there's so much fucking around
(5:37:49 PM) davidd: people were seeing the decisions being made to much as casted in concrete
(5:39:18 PM) Ikke: the problem is that the focus is on negative action, without positive initiative to coutnerbalance it
(5:39:26 PM) Ikke: a common amongst pirate parties
(5:39:28 PM) Ikke: =P
