So first mention I see of it in a PPAU context is here:
Basically The Pirate Bureau is described as a spin-off of The Pirate Party to focus on lobbying of Pirate policies without actually being a political party in itself (and thus less conflict of interest when advocating our policies to other political parties)
Which basically looks like it is merely a marketing effort for The Pirate Party.
These looks like two drastically different things. Care to explain what The Pirate Bureau is exactly and about doing a full spinoff as a totally separate organisation? (which by the way I think is a fantastic way to share our comprehensive policy platform far outside the walls of our own party)
The name ‘Pirate Bureau’ was used at someone’s suggestion, I do not recall exactly whose, and the Bureau itself bears little-to-no resemblance to either Piratbyrån or Brendan’s proposal.
The locked topic is the description of the category, which I restored as best I could at the request of @rundll and @twisty, after the data loss incident as you put it.
We have neither the financial or human resources to create a separate NGO purely for promoting the more technology-based Pirate ideals.
Thanks @Mozart for the clarification. I completely understand. Perhaps it’s something to look at in several years when we are in a better position to do such a thing.
