alternative agenda.

To CCWG elist participants: Below you will find a copy of email that has 
been sent to the CoCos list. It is mostly self-explanatory. As CCWG 
Coordinator, I also am asking two things: (1) If you wish to add your 
individual affirmation of this agenda, please send me a private email, 
and I will compile a list of affirmers. (2) If you wish to forward this 
information to your local County GP and request affirmance by its County 
Council or next membership meeting, please feel free to do so. That 
action should be reported to the Coordinating Committee through your 
Regional Representative(s) -- unless you have a dysfunctional Reg Rep -- 
in which case find someone else on the CC who can receive your 
communication (see the list below; there are several CC members 
supporting the alternate agenda proposal).
I know it is a bit difficult to sort this out because the proposals have 
not been generally published. Those will be collected and published on a 
webpage. Please post any clarifying questions to this CCWG email list so 
I can address questions to the entire group. Warner Bloomberg CCWG 
Coordinator
*****************************************************************************************************
As most of you know, the GPCA Coordinating Committee (CC) has been
paralyzed relative to decision-making for over a year.

A CC vote led to the formation of an ad-hoc Agenda Committee empowered
to present an Agenda for CC approval and for ultimate General Assembly
approval at the May 26/27 2007 Plenary in San Francisco. There was an
Agenda Call that asked for materials to be submitted by March 16 2007.
Subsequently, the ad hoc Agenda Committee produced a draft Agenda
distributed to the Co-Cos E mail list that did not include proposals
that were submitted in a timely manner and that lacked balance,
especially regarding the CC delegate situation relative to Los Angeles.
Because of these objections, the Agenda Committee had an expanded
telephone conference on April 12 at which, by a disputed 3-0 vote,
another ad hoc committee was permitted to submit an alternative agenda
for CC approval. The following April 16 CC meeting ended in no
consensus on either Agenda. The alternative Agenda was further polished
at a April 19 telephone conference, and is the current draft below.

We ask all Co-Cos, CC members, and Agenda Committee members to sign on
if you support the Agenda (below) for the May 26/27 2007 Plenary in San
Francisco:

Warner Bloomberg (Co-Co, CCWG)
Michael Borenstein (Co-Co, GROW)
Jo Chamberlain (Co-Co, ERWG)
Sharon Peterson (Co-Co, CC)
Shane Que Hee (Co-Co Platform)
Jim Stauffer (Co-Co, IT)
Mike Wyman (Agenda Comm volunteer)
Chuck Giese (CC rep, East Bay; Candidate for Agenda Comm since Dec. 14)
