Introduction

The Pirate Party is in perpetual evolution. It's time for a new General Assembly cycle.

We will follow a new protocol, voted during the last General Assembly:

Planning

Before we begin

"The Coreteam meets to define questions for Pirates. The questions should be simply worded, unambiguous and as open as possible"
