Hello,

Let's start with some facts. At the first mumble meeting after choosing Poland as the host of the general assembly of PPI I clearly said that if we are to be taken seriously, it is necessary to fulfil the formal conditions, i.e. have a contract for the use of premises or specific provisions that we would like to be included in it, this is of importance as such institutions in Poland in such cases avoid all responsibility for accidents arising during this kind of events and want to be sure that the meetings or conferences are conducted in accordance with the law, program or agenda for inspection by the institution making the space available. My request at the first mumble meeting was greeted with stupid jokes. However, the whole was to be developed at subsequent mumble meetings and delivered to me. In the coming months I unsuccessfully tried to chase this up, i.e. the need to obtain the power of attorney to sign the loan-to-use agreement; to present a program or agenda. I sent some e-mails on the subject, contacted via Skype and informed that it is not possible to sign any agreement without such a power of attorney and other documents. My e-mails remained unanswered for months. During face to face and Skype comms I received answers and assurances of action to be taken on this issue, however, nothing was done. A few months ago, at my clear insistence, during a conversation with Gregory I prepared a document on the pad, which was to solve the problem. Gregory argued that such power of attorney signed only by him and confirmed with an appropriate stamp would resolve the matter - I personally have doubts whether such a confirmation from one person on behalf of the entire board would have any legal force. Gregory reportedly sent me a scan, but it did not solve the problem because he was to send the actual document via traditional mail. As for now I have not received it.

At the beginning of May, Thomas and Bastian came to Poland. In the absence of documents and thus lack of a signed agreement for the use of the space in the original location in Warsaw, I put forward a plan B, which was to solve most of the problems, though quick action was needed. I took Thomas and Bastian in my own car from Warsaw to Lodz, where they could see the space and halls which possibly could be lent for the needs of the general assembly of PPI; I also got a man to come over on his day off (1,2,3 may are in Poland national holydays) to show as everything. I stressed the need for specific action regarding the documents, so the agreement for the loan of the premises could be signed as soon as possible, and at the same to ensure the premises are available and reserved for the needs of the general assembly of PPI. The issue was postponed until the confirmation of the decision to change the location. I still have not got the documents needed to sign a premises contract for the general assembly of PPI.

I would like to point out that with no formal arrangements on paper, i.e. a signed contract, but with only a verbal arrangement, no one will take it into account. In the absence of an agreement - there is a conference on 3-4 July so I was informed that the space would not be available on 4 July.

I would also like to mention that none of the Polish universities will lend premises for free or for a small money to any political party! For this reason, and because of the restrictive laws relating to the functioning of political parties in Poland, PP-PL can not guarantee a contract with its assets, the party or its board also can not formally act on behalf of other organizations. Such regulations are very strictly adhered to, and all the money and expenses carefully accounted for. Not to mention criminal liability. Therefore, members and supporters of the PP-PL may support the organisations of the general assembly of PPI, but none of us will assume financial and legal responsibility.

This is what I've been talking about since the very beginning. In Poland, verbal agreements don't work. Nobody will be taken seriously if they want just a verbal agreement.

Options we have:

1. The organisation of the whole of the general meeting of PPI on July 5, 2015. July 4th could be used for discussion and networking.

2. Renting the auditorium at the Faculty of Management in Łódź on Saturday, July 4, 2015 (see images in attachment p. 7) Cost: 3000 PLN net - approx. 900 euros including VAT. Formally, organisational costs should not rise by more than 500 euros from 1,000 euros starting amount.

3. Warsaw (primary location) I check if we can reach an agreement and host general assembly of PPI there. The person which is responsible for this should answer me tomorrow. The chances are slim.

What I need is a concrete and fast decision.

I wanted to say also that what I repeat from the beginning:

►►► I NEED POWER OF ATTORNEY ◄◄◄

Thank you.
