The Convention Committee has been tasked with agenda collection…Credentialingi'd like credentialing of chapters, new and old, as one of our first agenda items. that's always pro forma at green conventions (i was chair of the credentials committee on the national level in the '90s)i'd imagine credentialing of chapters would immediately precede roll call of chapters for quorum and roll call of unaffiliated members at the convention.
jonesy sent this to the listserve, so let me post here:2011 ANNUAL STATE MEETING AGENDASat., June 25, 9am to 5 pm Morning Session: 1) Art opens the meeting with a blessing/recognition of ancestors/earth etc. 2) Bonnie gives a welcome (and any logistical information) 3) Credentialing of voting delegates and establishment of quorum. 4) Discussion and approval of agenda 5) Each local introduces its members and gives chapter report (10 min max per local). Greens unaffiliated with a local introduce themselves (2min max per person). 6) Proposal by Kevin Alumbaugh to revoke state party privileges from Claire Ryder and Tom Kelly Noon - 1:45 pm Lunch break (all are welcome to go to nearby restaurants or bring own lunch for picnic) Five neighborhood options: Big Daddy, Vic's, Two Dog Diner, the Rib House and Sushi Jainken Afternoon Session: 7) Reports from state officers, active committees (fundraising, bylaws and website), and state email moderator/manager 8) Report by council facilitator and review of online state council actions for past year 9) Election of state officers (2 co-chairs, 1 treasurer and 1 secretary), 2-3 national delegates, council facilitator, and state e-list moderator 10) Delegation of state mailing address and phone number 11) Adjourn business portion of state meeting and begin discussion of statewide topics: A) Whether or not to implement the rest of the steward's recommendations, proposed by Tanya Ishikawa B) Restructuring Task Force to review and propose improvements to state council operations i.e. replacement of listserve/discuss list, devolution of authority to locals, transparency vs. efficiency, review of policy and guidelines and bylaws, etc., proposed by Art Goodtimes C) Bylaws changes, proposed by Eric Fried and Kevin Alumbaugh (related to issues brought up last meeting and fundraising) D) Endorsement of candidates of other parties and independents (possible bylaw change or P&G addition), proposed by Bob Kinsey E) Oppose natural gas transition statement, proposed by Bob Kinsey 5 pm Short discussion and confirmation of next day's agenda (possible earlier start or later finish, revision of items, etc.) Adjourn first day of state meeting Sun., June 26, 10 am to Noon 10 am Nonviolent Communications Training and/or Netiquette Rules creation (mediation council revision) State Committee Planning (website, reorganization/bylaw update task force, other?) Noon Adjourn 2011 State Meeting
looking at the agenda from our last state meeting, i think 1-5 seem fine — someone else perhaps should do the invocation this time…since i will have to leave the meeting by noon to attend my other function, i'd like nomination of candidates for local and state races next as #6... that would be me and gary swing, at this point, right? since we don't have contested candidate races for that local and state race, it can be a simple vote (either agreement-seeking or modified robert's rules)then i'd like to have a selection of candidate for national races -- probably someone speaking for each of the four current candidates, and then an IRV vote on the presidential as item #7then, depending on how long those six or seven take, it might be time for a lunch break... when i would have to leave#8 could be review of the year's past council actions#9 could be a review of where we are on restructuring and the forum / bill reporting and i would try to have a short paperdo we have to re-elect state officers at this convention????and after that it's optional whatever folks want to do... but we will have completed our required business, no?within four days we will need to get certifications of candidates to the secretary of state and to my county clerk in san miguel county.
Thank you for the additions, Art. I added them to the working agenda here:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uyCQWB95XoNeWJl1vq8J1x5Dp9IPqEcjUm5M-OrJPYM/editI would like to send out a call for agenda items to council by March 1st.
Hey Team,I threw together a letter requesting convention agenda items intended for the the GPCO locals. I plan on sending it out in the next day or two. Let me know if you have any suggestions or additions. Also, I set up a simple form for collecting RSVPs at convention.gpco.org. It is mentioned in the letter. Any thoughts on this method of collecting RSVPs?(See attachment).
i concur with Bill, good job on the letter. can we also send along a draft agenda, as we have it so far, noting that it's only a draft? also, as i commented on the site Jonesy set up for the working draft, do we want an invocation as we had last time to start. and don't we need to review and approve Council decisions since our last state meeting — in this case the convention committee creation?finally, bill, can we merge the thread that eric started elsewhere with this thread. shouldn't be two discussions so closely related, as it will confuse folks visiting here...i'm hoping that all greens will be able to visit the Convention Committee thread and read, if not input. if they want to input, they need to see jonesy's agreement to be on the committee...
The letter has been sent to the GPCO Council List and the GPOC [sic] Discuss list. Should I send this out to anyone else? I did add a review of council activity to the agenda.
