National Committee votes
The Green Party National Committee has three proposals before it which deal with two themes, the Steering Committee and the Presidential race. There is more behind the "Read more!" link below...
The first proposal, GPUS Presidential Campaign Support Committee PCSC Mission and Objectives has been reported on here before.
The second proposal, Bylaw Amendment - Steering Committee Recall would seem to be in response to the impeachment attempt which recently went down in flames.
The third proposal, GPUS Steering Committee Open Meeting Policy reiterates what I had thought was already official party policy. Guess I was wrong, eh?
The proposal includes provision for public notice of conference call meetings, posting of minutes, and does provide for ending the "public" telephone conference call and going to another call if the first is interrupted by hecklers etc.
Now, to my mind, isn't there some way to set this conference call system so that party members can be issued a "password" to access the conference call, or even better, what if the conference call had two phone numbers, one to participate, one that only allows you to listen. It's hard for me to believe that there is not already such a system available, although we may not be able to afford it.
The results of the impeachment are in the next post.
