Re Plenary<br>> <br>> Thank you Matt.<br>> <br>> During our CC call, we talked about this issue. I raised the concern <br>> that Greg Jan had with the timing of our plenary - the same one that the <br>> CCWG is raising in the message below. Many people who we would like to <br>> attend the plenary may not be able to do so on March 5th and 6th.<br>> <br>> Lately, we have had a difficult time identifying hosts for our <br>> plenaries. Unfortunately, it was determined that the host committee <br>> could not move the date of the plenary to accommodate this concern. On <br>> Monday, this
concern, was expressed from an individual, not one of our <br>> committees. In light of this request from the CCWG, I propose that the <br>> host committee be asked again if it is possible to move the date. Since <br>> it is very likely that it will not be possible to change the dates, does <br>> the CC wish to still hold the plenary March 5th and 6th? This decision <br>> should be finalized within the week as much planning in advance of the <br>> plenary needs to be done. <br>> <br>> I am very sorry that I was not able to have a conversation with the host <br>> committee regarding this question before bringing it to all of you. I'm <br>> leaving in a few hours to fly to Chicago for another family funeral - <br>> not someone who was close to me, but many of the people who will be <br>> there are. I'll be back on Sunday night. I can be reached on my cell <br>> phone if you want to
talk about this. 415-255-9494.<br>> <br>> Barry<br>> <br>> -------- Original Message --------<br>> Subject: [GPCA-CC] Fwd: URGENT! Re Plenary<br>> From: Matthew Leslie <<a ymailto="mailto:approximateman@earthlink.net" href="mailto:approximateman@earthlink.net">approximateman@earthlink.net</a>><br>> Date: Thu, December 10, 2009 6:48 pm<br>> To: GPCA Coordinating Committee <<a ymailto="mailto:gpca-cc@cagreens.org" href="mailto:gpca-cc@cagreens.org">gpca-cc@cagreens.org</a>><br>> <br>> The CCWG forwards the following concerns about the March 5-6 dates<br>> for the next plenary:<br>> <br>> <br>>><br>>> On the CCWG conference call last night we discussed a deep concern<br>>> that the current date of the Plenary (March 5th and 6th) would be<br>>>
detrimental to the intensive signature gathering and filing<br>>> deadline requirements for candidates running for office. As liason<br>>> to the CC, we are asking that you forward this concern to the CC<br>>> for immediate review and revision of the date to no earlier than<br>>> March 19th / 21st or to reviewing an even later date. <br>>><br>>> The signatures-in-leiu of filing fee deadline is February 25th,<br>>> and March 12th for nomination papers for County Council seats as<br>>> well as for non-partisan offiices up for election in June. The<br>>> current Plenary date of March 5th & 6th is right in the middle of<br>>> this intensive 3 week organizing and filing period that takes up<br>>> an inordinate amount of time for
candidates and their supporters.<br>>> Many Greens would not be able to both attend the Plenary and go<br>>> through the candidate filing processes. Since we are so limited on<br>>> time, resources, and person power as it is, the current Plenary<br>>> date simply does not make sense. <br>>><br>>> We took a vote during our call with 6 of us supporting requesting<br>>> moving the Plenary date, and with 2 abstentions. The CCWG<br>>> respectfully requests that the CC, Host Committee, and Agenda team<br>>> immediatley work on moving the Plenary to a later date.<br>>><br>>> Thank you, <br>>><br>>> Kendra Gonzales<br>>> CCWG Coordinator<br>>>
