The Carambolage collective in Berlin has decided to cease involvement in
the PGA process, in particular in the capacity of being a PGA infopoint.

Our reasons for taking this action are based on the following:

·	Our experiences at the PGA conference in August 2008 showed lack of
concrete results because of poor organization, very few participants,
insufficient preparation for the workshops.

·	Even before the conference began, we were aware of conflicts and
problems within PGA but hoped that this conference would resolve some of
these issues, particularly the problems with non-transparent, personalized
and hierarchical structures.

Although we share political ideas and goals in common with the PGA
hallmarks, we feel that the structure and process that played out before,
at, and after the PGA conference do not coincide with our perception of
egalitarian political work.

For this reason, the way things stand, we do not see any potential at the
moment for being a part of the current PGA process. In particular, this
means we will not be participating in any meetings in the near future.
Additionally, we request that you remove our collective name from any
internet or other publications.
