Here you can write your application for PPI board member. To submit your application copy-paste the table or write an e-mail with the information to board@pp-international.net and we will add you to the list.
Sponsors - According to IV (4) (b) and V (2) (b) of the PPI statutes candidates to any organ of the PPI must be proposed by an ordinary or observer member of the PPI. If you submit your application please add your sponsor. One member can support multiple candidates and the person applying for a position doesn't necessarily need to be a member of that organization. If you don't have a sponsor before the conference you still might be able to convince a delegation on the spot.

motivation and political background | The coming year is a turning point for the Pirate Movement. Pirates have entered into Parliaments, and we are seeing its gain momentum that many have not dreamed of even a year ago. New Pirate Parties are being founded and old ones experience a land rush like growth. But this dynamics also bring new challenges. We need a shift in professionalism inside our structures and inside PPI to make sure that the Pirate Movement will survive this growth. We need to reach out to our allies to face the growing global threats that are threatening to all of us - things like SOPA, PIPA, still not yet dead ACTA, and new challenges like IPRED. We need to support PPI's members on the international level. And we need to focus on the whole world, not just our neighborhood - because this world is interconnected and bad legislation in any part of it will in the end be everyone's problem, if we remain motionless.
In the last year since my departure from the PPI board I have learned a lot of new stuff. I have been through an election campaign, have spoken to about 1000 people on the streets, have been elected into parliament, and organized the largest Pirate Convention so far (for over 1500 people). Skills I plan to use in my second term as the Co-Chairman. To transform the PPI administration into a well functioning tool for all our members. One of my goals is to get the funds sorted to run a series of regional events (or sub-conferences) not only in Europe, but in all regions. |

qualifications | ![]() Sociologist, political PR and event organizing specialist, Pirate As a Chief Administrative Officer of PPI since March 2011:
Press work & public relations:
Organizing the PPI General Assembly 2012 |
language(s) | Russian, English, Czech, Spanish |
motivation and political background | Why Co-Chairman and not CAO? I was asked to go for Co-Chairman by several Pirates and Party representatives. As CAO I already fullfilled some of the tasks of a Co-Chairman, mostly representing PPI and international Pirates in media and at the Pirate conferences. I like it much better and I would like to concentrate more on these tasks as well as on assisting the Pirate Parties, and spend less time on administrative work.
Reactions to my performances with journalists and speeches were very positive, both from Pirates and non-Pirates. Besides the representation of PPI to the outside I already dealt with Pirate's problems as a CAO, helped establishing and promoting the new Pirate Parties. As Co-Chairman I can continue to offer my skills as neutral observer and arbitrator. I will not be a Co-chairman who will impose any political views on Pirates or propose revolutionnary political agendas. I'm going to be more of a Pirate ambassador - representing the movement to the outside and acting as arbitrator to the inside. Lastly my organizational skills (shown by the conference organization) will help me to manage the board meetings and future conferences. I have good relations to many Pirate Parties and multiple competent people in the background that can help me in the areas where I lack the competence. |

During the Berlin elections in 2011, a placard bearing my image was used to promote voting rights for all residences regardless of age and nationality. As a Brasilian who naturalized to a German citizen with children who possess US, Indian, Brasilian and German nationalities, my goal is to see politics cross beyond nationalistic barriers. Candidating for the PPI calls out to me to connect trans national to the local politics since I believe that we are at a time where great changes can be made in both local and international level when those are considered connected. People are ready for something different and we can make a difference. |

Name and nicks | Ed Geraghty (tuoni) |
---|---|
Sponsor | Pirate Party UK |
member of Pirate Party | Pirate Party UK |
qualifications | ![]() Pirate Party: Outgoing IT Team Leader, having brought our systems under control from an absentee team of 18 months, non-voting member of the PPUK National Executive Committee, PPUK Foreign Spokesperson, Proof-reader Professionally: Ex-programmer across many professional disciplines in 13 different programming languages (as well as holding a BSc. (Hons) in Computer Science from the University of Kent), ex-Royal Signals British Army Soldier and currently an international trader in base metals |
language(s) | English |
motivation and political background | I have lots of experience in PPUK, as well as much visible success in pulling together disparate groups in order to get jobs done. Whether intra- or inter-nationally, I plan to use this experience in melding the Pirate Parties to bring coordinated responses on issues such as ACTA and to help facilitate the sharing of resources (be they lingual, pictorial or otherwise) to help us work smarter, not harder. I believe that our strongest assets are our diverse membership and our largely technical background - we are, perhaps, not using these assets as well as we could. I have always been politically active, but (as I'm sure many of us have heard before) I hadn't found a party whose core beliefs were so aligned with my own until the formation of PPUK... a party I joined within hours of a mention on torrentfreak. I am politically active in the UK, regularly attending sessions at the House of Commons and talking with everyone from interested lay-people to High Court judges, MPs and Lords. I believe that our message of Human Rights and Civil Liberties is the most important. |

qualifications | Secretary of Pirate Party Australia for two years, been working in various positions ranging from media to IT within the party since 2008. |
language(s) | English, French (somewhat), German (horrifically) |
motivation and political background | I wish to bring a different perspective to a generally Eurocentric board. After watching the slow demise of the last board, I thought it would be best to step up in order to help bring much needed stability and transparency to PPI.
Using the experience gained working with the Pirate Party in Australia since 2008, I intend to progress PPI in ways such as pushing for architectural independence (wikis, blogs), assisting in getting a PPI representative to the SCCR committee at WIPO and pushing for as much transparency as possible from the board. Also running for Alternative Board Member position |

language(s) | Swiss German, German, French, English, a bit Italian |
motivation and political background | During a talk with Gregory, he explained his plans for 2012/2013, I got the idea to run for the board. In fact I just want to help building a press team. This especially includes inquiry handling and the distribution of press releases. Because I gained much experience with media during my time as chairman of PP Switzerland I am sure to be qualified for this task. Gregory's ideas are good and I'd like to support him with this candidature. Nice side fact: I live only 2 hours away from Geneva (direct train connection) so I could also do some representative work with Organisations in that town.
Disclaimer: I can't promise to do more than I assure in this application. This is due to the fact that I still do press work for PP Switzerland and that I am the chairman of our court of arbitration. But I'm very interested in doing that job and I hope that you also like my idea. |

motivation and political background |
I’ve never managed to fit myself in the narrow view of left/right politics because I don’t like political menus that force you to choose just one of them as a whole. Issues in politics should be a buffet where you are free to choose from any point in the spectrum according to your beliefs in each one. It is my goal to promote the tools of Liquid Democracy because, quoting myself from the amendment, “PPI should be using them also, to set the example and show the advantages of such systems to all its current and future members, instead of adopting the rigid models of plain old parties that bind democracy to specific election/voting dates separated by long periods of detachment where few decide for all. Anyway, trying to find where I fitted in the political spectrum I took the Political Compass testand though I thought I would be more to the center of it (I guess all those religious questions made me drift), I was pleased to see my company in that quadrant of the analysis:) |

motivation and political background |
Pirates are evolving all around the world and there is no better time to leverage the potential of Pirates’ community and the potential of every individual member. I want to emphasize the importance of Pirate movement in politics, and to present the Pirate’s ideas to the people who are currently out of scope on behalf most of the Pirate parties: students, people who are neutral to politics, etc. Considering that it is of most importance to involve as many people a possible, I am willing and fully prepared to spread the core values using my experience and leveraging my contacts for lobbying for Pirate ideas internationally. Moreover I would love to show the tight connection of Serbian Pirates and global Pirate movement and to bring global perspective into the discourse of ongoing political conversations in Serbia. I am capable of organising and managing people and bring ideas and concepts to life. I am trained for situational leadership - to do what it needs to be done with people that are available. |

I would like some of that spirit to permeate to other areas of the PPI

---|---|
Sponsor | Pirate Party of New Zealand, Pirate Party Australia |
member of Pirate Party | Pirate Party Australia |
qualifications | In November I will have completed my undergraduate Bachelor of Music (with additional studies in literature, linguistics, professional writing and philosophy). I am a strong supporter of Creative Commons, and I will license my album (mid-2013) with CC. I write about Pirate Politics on my blog (OlbrychtPalmer), and had an opinion piece published on one of our tech sites (Delimiter). There are also submissions on Patent Reform and ACTA, as well as a speech regarding the TPPA, which I have contributed to.
I lead a press team of about five people, and have a very diplomatic temperament. I am patient and willing to seek the best outcome for all involved. I'm actively involved in international relations – I've worked with the UK, US and NZ Pirate Parties on press releases, helped the New York PP get started and created a video which PPI published on their front page (as well as a Dutch version for PPNL). I have worked as a performing musician, and now I work a little as a freelance journalist/editor. |
language(s) | English |
motivation and political background | I noticed the small number of candidates very close to the GA and decided that I would step up to the plate. My personality and temperament makes me suitable to resolving disputes. I am able to be impartial and put aside my feelings for any particular group or individual to resolve disputes objectively. I don't have as many 'Pirate Qualifications' as others, though I am extremely active within my own party, fulfilling duties where necessary, and taking on tasks that others aren't able to. I have no ambitions other than to further the Pirate Party Movement's influence on what I feel are very important issues, and make the Movement as stable as possible so that our front is united.
I am pro-copyright reform, even as a musician and writer, because I understand that suing your fans for sharing is not the way to approach things. I see the many benefits that 'piracy' has brought to my industries. I am sick of being lied to by government or other authorities, and never having a proper say. I respect the right to privacy. I do not believe that censorship is an appropriate way to govern. This is why I am a Pirate – because I believe that these fundamental rights and freedoms should not continue to be infringed. |

language(s) | French, English, basic Spanish |
motivation and political background |
I want to help PPI, and despite having too much work with PP-FR to contribute every week, I will be present if PPI faces problems : this is the mainspring of the Court of Arbitration. I have not followed any law courses, but I am used to read law articles and Courts rulings since I joined PP-FR in 2009 (which helped a lot on past year). I was personally against the creation of the Court of Arbitration at the previous GA, as it seemed evident we were not fully ready to feel its seats ; however, as long as the GA voted it, I volunteered to participate and take the knocks with the other members. Looking back at past year, I think we did a pretty good job. There are things I would have liked to do differently, but we tried to follow the Statutes and, hopefully, there are amendments submitted to the General Assembly that will fix these problems of the Court of Arbitration and PPI Statutes lacks in general. Whatever the issue of this GA, I really enjoyed the atmosphere inside the first Court of Arbitration, and I wish the next CoA and Board will have the same chance. |
