Barcelona Agenda
Barcelona Infos

• Minute keepers?
• Number of current members in your PP?
• Voting?
• Many small parties in one State and voting?
• New PPs which are not a party yet?
• Assessment or voting on application of a new member?

Criteria could be that they are eligible to run in elections rather than being a “legal party”

• voting weights discussion so far:
  • 1 Pirate, 1 Vote (per Member Party)
  • 1 vote per PP (does not reflect size or pirate activity)
  • Square root of population (does not reflect pirate activity)
  • Square root of total votes in last election (does not reflect pirate activity in small countries well)
  • Proportional (linear) distribution base on total votes and vote percentage (copies from the European Greens)
  • weights based on member size

• only ordinary and associate members who have paid their fees are able to vote.

• (UK has 12 constituencies for EU elections)
• different systems in various countries make weights depending on vote results difficult
• prepare a slide about how the parties distribute voting weights of other parties
• majorities: Belgian law names certain majorities for ruling.
• → Gregory is delegate for Kazachstan, maybe 2,3 others,
• rather ask question like “how should it be done”?
• a digital vote should be unchangeable, so maybe not doodle

* seat:

• Luxemburg, association law not complicated and available in German
• Malta with English as language

• vote:
• one party one vote
• all motions must be tabled
• all motions in writing handed to the assistant moderator

• Krishna and a few others will meet on Friday afternoon to prepare the Rules of Procedure and the bullet points for voting on. in NH hotel

• European citizen initiative on Sunday

* voting procedure (including motions)

• what do we need urgently:
  • one party one vote
  • remote delegates can vote
  • if they are not already known, they must be announce at the pp-leaders ML beforehand –> send request for that (Stefan Thöni)
• voting questions
