[GPSCC-chat] Move to Amend Announcement

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


       The "Move to Amend" event in Palo Alto, Monday, Sept. 12, is now 
officially announced on our web site.


NOTE:  A separate group led by Gerry Gras is helping organize this (and 
produced the announcement now on our web site).  They will report on 
their work during the Santa Clara Greens meeting this Thursday.


QUESTION:  Earlier, I saw a draft constitutional amendment by "Move To 
Amend".  Has that been withdrawn in favor of something less specific, 
with the details to be decided later?


       Spencer
