[Aaron Ney]

are we in Agreement Seeking? Voting? what are appropriate responses at this stage?

[Bill Bartlett]

I think I may have posted this to the wrong area, since we are actually in the agreement seeking phase of this proposal.  Perhaps I should have put it under Proposal Discussion…?  I am open to input. At this stage, "Agree", "Disagree", or "Stand Aside" are appropriate responses.

[Bill Bartlett]

Per Eric's request, I am including here the emailed request from Tim Hovezak of the Southwest Greens, for their chapter's reinstatement. (Sent April 8, 2012)

Thanks for all the positive votes folks.  We do regret not sending anyone to the nominating convention, but there seems to have been a critical mass of family and health issues.  Tim, SW greens
