Position Statements

 * Should the NC now adopt the position statement process or leave it until after Congress?
 * https://pirateparty.org.au/wiki/User:Mozart/Draft_authorisation_processes
 * Position statements designed to either collate existing platform elements or interpret specific situations
 * Simon Frew doesn't see a reason to lock position statements to the PDC
 * Mozart agrees, points 1 and 4 amended, 5 removed
 * Conclusion is to put the authorisation process as FM-1
