|Rationale=The base for the fee calculation is the HDI (Human Development Index) published by the UNHDR http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/hdi The Idea is that the Pirate Parties from developed countries could afford a higher sum than those from the developing and the least developed ones.

We believe that PPI need solid finances. On the same time we think, that the current proposal is to much of a burden to smaller parties. Espetially the local elected representatives are just the first step on the success road of a political party, and there is no direct immediate financial benefit to the party from its elected local members, and therefore we think that the effect on determinig the membership fee should be much smaller then proposed 1/10th and prefer 1/35th instead.

Version du 27 mars 2015 à 12:51

L'AG en ligne est reporté au Dimanche 29 mars (à 10h). Le calendrier complet peut être consulté sur cette page wiki.

Dans la suite des événements qui ont conduit la sortie du Parti Pirate d'Australie (PPAU)<ref>http://piratetimes.net/the-australian-pirates-leave-ppi/</ref> du PPI, l'orga se l'AG en ligne (qui était une idée du PPAU) à été laissé à la responsabilité du bureau du PPI qui à quand même voté le maintient de l'AG lors de sa réunion du 8 février 2015.<ref>voir le CR du 8 février 2015</ref> Par contre pour le moment, finit les appels à la réforme des statuts que le PPAU proposait, il ne reste que la question d'augmenter les frais d'adhésion. ( D'autres motions peuvent néanmoins être déposés par les membres du PPI ici).


Pour l'instant les motions sont les suivantes :

Motions regarding the affiliation fee

AF-1 Original motion from Paris

Title Affiliation Fees according to the original Paris proposal
Put by PPI Board
Sponsor PPI Board
Motion The fee is calculated as follows: the actual HDI of a country is taken as a exponent to 500 to get the basis fee. This basis fee is multiplied with following factors: for each elected pirate on national level times two, for each elected member of a regional parliament times 1/5, and for each elected member on a local level times 1/10. This multiplied values are then added to the basis value.

(*) For the calculation it is non discriminatory if the pirate is holding a mandate in the executive or legislative brunch.

Rationale The base for the fee calculation is the HDI (Human Development Index) published by the UNHDR http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/hdi The Idea is that the Pirate Parties from developed countries could afford a higher sum than those from the developing and the least developed ones. Also that the countries with election successes (with elected representatives) could afford more than parties that are in the process of the foundation. Please see the https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0ArWSm6bFghpEdDhDT1pTeWgzY0lRMFA1Vl9oT0Z1NlE&gid=1 for exact calculation

AF-2 Updated accapted motion from Paris

Title Affiliation Fees according to statuses and passed motion in Paris
Put by Czech Republic PP-CZ
Sponsor Czech Republic PP-CZ
Motion Acording of art. XVI of PPI Statutes[1], General Assembly determines the calculation of Affiliation Fees as follows:
  1. The actual HDI[2] of a country is taken as an exponent to 50 to get the basis fee in €.
  2. This basis fee is multiplied by following factors:
    • for each elected pirate on national level times two,
    • for each elected member of a regional parliament times 1/5,
    • and for each elected member on a local level times 1/10.
  3. This multiplied values are then added to the basis fee.
  • For the calculation it is non-discriminatory if a pirate is holding a mandate in the executive or legislative branch.
  • Affiliation fee shall not excess 1% of the member's annual income for the previous financial year.
  • Observer membership is not associated with any costs.
The first fees are due the next financial year.
This calculation of Affiliation Fees is valid for following years unless decided otherwise.

General Assembly furthermore (according to art. X(h) of PPI Statutes[3]) decides that:

  • PPI will display all the details of all the transactions, as previously decided on 1st General Assembly meeting.[4]
  • PPI is obliged to publish all the bank statements of all the accounts online
  • Until these transparency requirements are fullfilled, members are not obliged to pay their membership fees for that year

AF-3 Adjusted motion from PP-DE

Title Affiliation Fees according to the original Paris proposal, taking smaller parties into account
Put by Flag of Germany.png PP-DE
Sponsor Flag of Germany.png PP-DE
Motion The fee is calculated as follows: the actual HDI of a country is taken as an exponent to 500 to get the basis fee. This basis fee is multiplied with following factors: for each elected(*) pirate on national level times two, for each elected member of a regional parliament times 1/5th, and for each elected member on a local level times 1/35th. This multiplied values are then added to the basis value. Parties with less then 500 Members and Observing Members are paying fees on a voluntarily basis at their own discretion. No member shall contribute more then 50% of all PPI's due fees.

(*) For the calculation it is non discriminatory if the pirate is holding a mandate in the executive or legislative brunch.

Rationale The base for the fee calculation is the HDI (Human Development Index) published by the UNHDR http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/hdi The Idea is that the Pirate Parties from developed countries could afford a higher sum than those from the developing and the least developed ones. Also that the countries with election successes (with elected representatives) could afford more than parties that are in the process of the foundation. Please see the https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0ArWSm6bFghpEdDhDT1pTeWgzY0lRMFA1Vl9oT0Z1NlE&gid=1 for exact calculation

We believe that PPI need solid finances. On the same time we think, that the current proposal is to much of a burden to smaller parties. Espetially the local elected representatives are just the first step on the success road of a political party, and there is no direct immediate financial benefit to the party from its elected local members, and therefore we think that the effect on determinig the membership fee should be much smaller then proposed 1/10th and prefer 1/35th instead.

Also, no party should be paying more then 50% of all Fees, since this could create some unhealthy preassure on the organization.

Formal Motions

MO-1 Access to medicine

Title Access to medicine
Put by Flag of Germany.png PP-DE
Sponsor Flag of Germany.png PP-DE
Motion May the General Assembly of the Pirate Parties International decide the following declaration:

We deem the universal access to medicine and medical treatment as a human right.

People in developing and least developed countries must have access to medicine beyond the restrictions of patenting systems. Patents that hinder the fight against diseases should be subject to compulsory licensing.

Since the economics of medical technology makes research and development into non-patentable medical techniques uneconomic for corporations, state funding needs to be made available to test the effectiveness of substances, currently illegal for therapeutic purposes.

Further blocking of scientific work based solely on dogmatic arguments is no longer acceptable. Patients must not be hindered in their free choice of treatment. Well trained, responsible physicians and informed patients must have the full responsibility for choosing the substances used for treatment. The dangers of all used substances must be fully disclosed.

Furthermore, us Pirates propose a global fund for financing research on neglected diseases.

In case of successful adoption by the GA, we call upon the Members of PPI to ratify this declaration timely by a suitable vehicle.

Rationale Will be delivered in session.

MO-2 Copyright

Title Copyright
Put by Flag of Germany.png PP-DE
Sponsor Flag of Germany.png PP-DE
Motion May the General Assembly of the Pirate Parties International decide the following declaration:

Pirates want a fair and balanced copyright law based on the interests of society as a whole.

We strive for the abolition of information monopolies. As for now the only beneficiaries of the monopolies are huge corporations, while the market as a whole is failing. This market failure is apparent by the frequent bullying of individuals and SMEs by collecting societies and the loss of orphan works to society. Our goal is to create an environment where the motivation to create goes hand in hand with freedom of information.

Improved public availability of information, knowledge and culture is a prerequisite for the social, technological and economic development of our society. Pirates therefore demand that copying, storing, using and providing access to literary and artistic works for non-commercial purposes must not only be legalised but protected by law and actively promoted. Everyone shall be able to enjoy and share our cultural heritage free from the threat of legal action or censorship.

The commercial monopoly given by copyright should be restored to a reasonable term. Derivative works shall always be permitted, with exceptions that are very specifically enumerated in law with minimal room for interpretation.

The internet as a medium should know no borders. Pirates consider artificial national barriers for cultural goods a hindrance to the global trade and demand their abolishment. A change of approach is required in the area of rights to intangible goods and their respective enforcement practices.

Further monopolies in the sectors of information and culture have to be prevented. By law, states should only allow or maintain monopoly rights for intangible goods if these are in the public interest. Any monopoly rights must be temporally limited, neither their time-span nor their scope may be expanded retrospectively.

The creation of commons, such as free software, free cultural goods, open patent pools and free and open educational material, must be promoted and legally protected.

Social life, increasingly taking place in digital spaces, must not be restricted by monopoly rights over intangible goods. The introduction of “fair use” regulations will ensure that social interactions remain unencumbered.

Each collecting society must ensure comprehensive transparency, fair participatory rights for their members and fairer contract terms for artists.

MO-3 Net Neutrality

Title Net Neutrality
Put by Flag of Germany.png PP-DE
Sponsor Flag of Germany.png PP-DE
Motion May the General Assembly of the Pirate Parties International decide the following declaration on net neutrality:

The principle of network neutrality must by inforced by law in each and every country to ensure strong incentives for investment, fair competition and equal treatment of everybody in the digital space.

We consider the freedom of information as an universal human right, and the net neutrality a necessary mean to it.

Everyone must be able to have access to an Internet connection that does not discriminate against any service or competitor. Traffic management measures shall only be allowed in exceptional circumstances, operated in a clear and transparent manner and only for technical reasons.

Non-discriminatory access to the Internet must apply uniformly across the whole world. We reject measures by the telecommunications companies that threaten freedom of access.

MO-4 Basic Income

Title Basic Income
Put by Flag of Germany.png PP-DE
Sponsor Flag of Germany.png PP-DE
Motion May the General Assembly of the Pirate Parties International decide the following declaration:

Pirates see labor not just as a tradeable commodity, but also as a person's individual achievement. Respect for human dignity therefore commands that each person can decide freely which occupation he or she wishes to pursue and which job to take, but also that such services be adequately compensated.

Thanks to technological development it is no longer necessary that each monotonous, senseless or even dangerous task be performed by humans. We welcome and wish to promote this significant advance. Hence we consider the goal of absolute full employment as outdated and not socially desirable. Instead, we want to achieve that all people receive their adequate share of the general wealth; to this end, we will consider the introduction of a basic income guarantee.

MO-5 Privacy

Title Privacy
Put by Flag of Germany.png PP-DE
Sponsor Flag of Germany.png PP-DE
Motion May the General Assembly of the Pirate Parties International decide the following declaration:

To preserve our rights and freedoms, and to ensure the effectiveness of law enforcement, Pirates demand that data collection and monitoring is only targeted at people who are suspected of committing or preparing a crime and only with judicial approval and oversight.

Adequate protection against crime is an important responsibility of the state. We must ensure this responsibility is fulfilled through an intelligent, rational and evidence-based security policy.

The practice of routine, automated and untargeted data collection, storage and matching is to be abolished.

Anyone subject to state surveillance should be informed of these facts in due time to safeguard against abuse.

The public sector, including private entities carrying out work on behalf of a public body, must be transparent. Pirates believe that it is a fundamental right of citizens to inspect, without the need for any specific justification, all contracts or financial benefits related to the delivery of public sector or government projects and services.

Pirates advocate for general and comprehensive legislation to protect persons who expose issues that are in the public interest, such as cases of corruption, insider trading, or ethics or human rights violations (“whistle-blowers”).
