Let's take this to the world!

@jobooth can you please hook Spain up with a Loomio and discord channel and more details? Thanks!

Awesome! Welcome!!

yes of course !! sorry but i've been busy ths week! now Im 100% on the project!

"two way conversation" -> then let's create the Mobile Phone Party (MPP, aka Mega Pirate Party) :-D it's freedom, mobility and it contains even.. Internet! ..seriously, it needs a bigger change than a new political party with tiny influence. The challenges are huge. So has to be the answer. Get rich and famous people on your side and go for it. Last hint: add Free to your name to give more meaning: Free Internet Party. Good luck and see you on the battle fields of democracy!

Hi guys - the international manifesto has been proofed by our lawyer and the amended copy is below. Please make sure to read it, adopt and abide by the terms.

Thanks,

INTERNET PARTY - INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES

CORE VALUES

As stated under section 3 (Objectives) of the Constitution of the Internet Party of New Zealand, our core values are:

• Openness
• Freedom
• Fairness
• Connectedness
• Innovation

LOCAL ELECTION RULES / COMPLIANCE

Each international Internet Party is responsible for learning and complying with the particular election rules of their country/state/province. The electoral rules followed by the Internet Party of New Zealand relate only to the territory of New Zealand and are not applicable to the international movement. The Internet Party of New Zealand suggests that you consult local expertise in order to assure you comply with any and all electoral rules and associated legislation.

LEGAL

The Internet Party of New Zealand advises that you should seek and employ local, competent legal counsel in order to ensure that the legal aspects of your Party business structure, communications, finances and the operations of your Party comply with applicable local laws.

ACCOUNTING

The Internet Party of New Zealand advises that you should seek and employ local, competent accounting assistance in order to ensure that you are fully complying with applicable local financial and accounting regulations.

CONSTITUTION

The Internet Party of New Zealand has no power to approve or disapprove the Party Constitutions of international Internet Parties.

The Internet Party of New Zealand Constitution sets out the rules for the operation of the Party and its structure. The Internet Party of New Zealand allows the use of its Party Constitution as a base template from which the international Parties can adopt and later make adjustments by consensus of their Executive Committee once appointed, as befits their circumstances, provided that such alterations are in the spirit of the Core Values of the Internet Party of New Zealand.

The most recent copy of the Constitution of the Internet Party of New Zealand can be read here:

http://ipnz.github.io/Docs/ConstitutionAndRules/

As we have no control over the international Parties, we therefore bear no responsibility for their actions or implementations of our Constitution.

COMMUNICATIONS

Although the Internet Party of New Zealand has supplied the Loomio and Discord spaces for the initial point of contact for the international Internet Parties, the latter are responsible for setting up their own social media accounts and website domains, establishing and moderating their own communications channels and for any content or conduct within or related to the aforementioned.

BRANDING

International Internet Parties must be recognisable to the public by the use of a modified version of the Internet Party of New Zealand logo. The Internet Party of New Zealand allows use of this logo on the following understanding:

the original logo will not be altered, only added to (by adding words or graphics that represent your country)
that the brand will not be used to represent anything which violates our Core Values
please email your modified brand to media@internet.org.nz for approval
For official copies of our branding templates/logo please contact media@internet.org.nz

TECH SUPPORT

Some initial tech support, within reason, is available by contacting @ipnztech on Twitter (DM’s are open)

Any questions? email international@internet.org.nz

All international Parties must be registered with the Internet Party of New Zealand and will be listed in our directory site which is going up at https://internet-party.co

SUBSCRIPTION FEES

At no time will the Internet Party of New Zealand charge any membership or subscription fees from the international Parties. Only individuals who are personally members of the Internet Party of New Zealand are subject to the payment of membership fees to belong to the Internet Party of New Zealand. Members of international Internet Parties are a matter solely for each international Party

In agreeing with the above terms and establishing their Parties, the international Parties recognise that the relationship between the Internet Party of New Zealand and the international Parties is non-financial.

PIRATE PARTIES INTERNATIONAL

The Internet Party of New Zealand is applying for member status with Pirate Parties international (PPI). This can be extended to international Internet Parties on a case-by-case basis. There are many benefits to joining PPI - as there is an established international network of many thousands of tech-savvy members, with a mature organisational structure and annual conference. We highly suggest that once firmly established, each international Internet Party also applies for member status with PPI.

DISCLAIMER

Because you support the values of the Internet Party of the New Zealand, we have no objection to you using the Internet Party name and Branding, but the Internet Party of New Zealand disclaims any and all liability arising from any and all activities of the international Internet Parties.

This document is currently pending approval by the Executive Committee of the Internet Party of New Zealand and may be modified in the future. Any revised copy will be posted to the International page on our Loomio. It is the responsibility of the International Parties to keep up to date with any such changes.

Hi all, I'm very happy to show you a proposal for a decentralized communication platform for Europe: ipeu.org (still closed to public - the password is "ipeu").

In this initial/constitutional phase we will just collecting emails and giving volunteers the opportunity to manage their own EU Chapter autonomously (thanks to a Multisite WP installation).

Basically, every European Internet Party can easily have its own website with two clicks (see it.ipeu.org, es.ipeu.org, etc.)...

I am personally in contact with ES, CH and IT (me) so they are in and they helped me to set all up, but I saw some messages here from UK, DE/AT, PT so I'm trying to reach them to let them know this "idea".

Of course the single Chapters will not be "obliged" to use the ipeu.org platform: in case we will redirect to their website.

Hope this helps!

We're going to be live in 20 minutes talking to the updated International strategy - come join us at https://IPnz.live/stream - or on Zoom to interact. :purple_heart: :soon: :nz: :world_map:

Thanks for taking this and running with it @carlito - awesome stuff.

I'm looking for someone to champion the non eu domain - https://internet-party.co so maybe @felixinthemix456 you could have uk.internet-party.co and setup Multisite WordPress like the EU one?

Hi people, very happy to join you, let's go global!

Hi all, I am Daniele,

I have been for long time the official representer of the Pirate Party Itali at the PP-EU, the European Pirate Party, since before it was built. So I partecipated to all the works for the constitution.
I promoted successfullly the adoption of an e-democracy platform (liquidfeedback) inside the Italian Pirate Party and tried to extend it at a European level (Euroliquid).
I also worked togeter with M5S representers in order to adopt a free e-democracy software inside the M5S (Grillo) Party, instead of the actual closed source one.

In 2012 my wife and I were celebrating the first Kopimist Wedding, The missionari church of Kopimism is the first anti-copiright religion, officially recognized in Sweden.

Happy to join!

Welcome @ruankranz - awesome to have Brazil along

Welcome along @jeffcigrand - lets see if we can help make it happen for you!

thank you, I would only need an editable logo (illustrator, photoshop whatever) and a design guide if there is one. And we would need to use a different color, violet is already used by another party. Oh and maybe a subgourp IPLU

There may be something useful at https://internet.org.nz/goodies - I can likely grab a source file for you if anything catches your eye.
