Decisions/Endorsements

Revise Platform

Leader: jokeefe

Expanding the Privacy/surveillance plank - https://etherpad.pp-international.net/p/DefendingYourPrivacy

Bylaw Amendment

What supporter information we provide to our endorsed candidates does not follow our policy to not share personal contact information with non-Pirate Party groups. The bylaw amendment below resolves that issue.

In Article 8.0 - Candidate Selection change:

Candidates who are nominated or endorsed shall be considered supported candidates. Supported candidates are entitled to the contact information of any Party members or supporters in their area and any other resources the Pirate Council determines the Party can provide.

to:

Candidates who are nominated or endorsed by the party shall be considered supported candidates. Nominated candidates are entitled to access to the contact information of any Party members or supporters in their area. Endorsed candidates are entitled to have the party contact party members and supporters in their area at least once a month until the election is over to notify them that the party endorsed said candidate and how they can contact and assist the campaign. Supported candidates are entitled any other resources the Pirate Council determines the Party can provide.
