Okay then, there needs to be a CC meeting 15 days before the next general meeting, somebody willing to do the job needs to be there, and somebody needs to get the agenda out in plenty of time. This is all going to have to happen short a council member--me. I could give you my cell phone number if it looks like the council is short of a quorum, or you could work with Wes, which would probably be easier, as I will be in the Blue Ridge mountains and may not get a signal. Good luck to you. Can I vote for Tian now?

During last Wednesday's GPSCC meeting, there was discussion about whether our GPCA Coordinating Committee member and alternate could be chosen by delegates at a plenary or whether we are required to use the rules we adopted a few years back.
 
My recollection is that when the GPSCC adopted Article 9 of its Bylaws, and San Mateo County adopted similar bylaws, we opted out from the default procedure in the GPCA Bylaws.  Under those rules, any candidate needs to be approved at meetings in each county.  In SCC, the Bylaws state that the County Council has to put the matter on the agenda, there needs to be 15 days notice, and the item has to be included in the emailed agenda.
 
The change in procedure was based upon the collective sense that a few delegates at a plenary should not have the responsibility or burden of appointing a reluctant volunteer...  which had been the pre-existing practice.  At least with required meetings, any candidate is required to meet with each County GP and present their case that she or he is up to the job.
