There is a process problem with this proposal.Logically, voting cannot begin until Council has agreed to appoint an interim state co-chair and hold an election (this proposal).Council should have a week for Agreement seeking, ending 11/22, before voting starts.
Harry, agreement was met when nominations were made during the last few weeks in a separate section of the forum. I'm not sure what the problem is.

I see no evidence that agreement was met to appoint an interim state co-chair.The topic "Call for Co Chair Nominations" started by the GPCO Secretary on October 4, 2016 on the Private Council Discussion board says, in part, "I'd like to invite nominations for the position of interim state party co-chair, to serve the remainder of the two-year term."The problem is that, per section 5.8 of the bylaws, the state secretary does not have authority to start an appointment process (including calling for nominations) to fill a vacant co-chair position, unilaterally. In fact, the state chair and secretary, acting together, do not have authority to decide to fill a vacant co-chair position. The decision about whether to fill a vacant co-chair position with an interim appointment is reserved for GPCO Council.The call for nominations cannot be considered to be a Council agreement, first, because it was done in private and did not use Council's agreement seeking process. Secondly, even if Council thought of the call for nominations as a proposal to be agreed on, in spite of using a hidden board and not using the standard proposal format, agreement could not have been reached because only 4 chapters responded.That is why this proposal, 008-16, to appoint an interim state co-chair needs to go through agreement seeking.Voting for co-chair makes no sense until Council has agreed to fill the position.
