EXTRAS

  • Pirate Party of France is a well established Pirate Party. We have hundreds of members to date of contribution, and the support of 2 to 3% of the voters when we have the money to make a real campaign. We have experience of party conferences with more than a hundred attendees.
  • We will have the European Parliament elections, plus local and national French elections in 2014. Hosting this international pirate conference would be a sign that the pirate movement is rising in Europe and a good opportunity for PP-FR to show that pirates of the second most populated country of European Union are running for the elections together with the others.
  • Holding the conference in Paris will allow most Pirate Parties to attend the conference.
  • Paris is the most visited city in the world and French wines and food are the finest in the world.
  • Pirate Party of France has worked a lot on financial transparency. We are telling our members how much is spent and what for. (We do not publish the identity of our members or donors, but we only accept money from individual citizens, and no more than 7.500€ a year.) We will be fully transparent about the money we manage, and we dedicate a full post of the planning team to this subject. However, the payments being in €uro, the PPI should be able to handle everything directly by itself.
  • Pirate Party of France agrees to sign financial engagements with the PPI, and will never spend any money without prior control and approval from the PPI board. Any money collected for the GA and not spent that way will be returned to the PPI within a maximum delay given by the PPI Board.

  • Approx. number of hostels/hotels near venue : hundreds.
