== Decisions/Endorsements ==

=== National Party Bylaw amendment ===

The Outreach committee of the National Party has [https://wiki.pirate-party.us/PNC_12/13/20 proposed adding the several changes] to [https://wiki.pirate-party.us/Pirate_National_Committee_(PNC)/Bylaws#Section_3:_Representation the party bylaws]. All non-controversial changes were approved.

jokeefe, acting as Rep. in place of the existing reps, objected to:

<nowiki>
Article III, section 3, 7
Each delegation shall be treated equally in all matters with an exception in the matter of nominations for President and Vice-President of the United States, wherein each delegation shall have a vote in a national convention weighted by its population in millions rounded up to the next whole million. In the case of the delegation representing a constituency that has a primary election wherein the pirate party has state ballot status, the delegation shall allot its votes to candidates in proportion to the results of the state’s primary.
</nowiki>

The reasons are:
* By basing state delegations on state population rather than party members in a state, we are using an unrepresentative metric for allocating delegates;
* We are not close enough to running candidates for President and Vice-President, so there is no pressing reason to enshrine this allocation formula. Rather we should wait until we have a larger number of active states.

The state party should weigh in on this issue and make a final decision as to how Massachusetts should vote on this issue.

The reasons for this change are that this is how other parties have allocated their delegations and state population is valid metric by which to allocate delegations.
