Caroline has a huge filing cabinet plus a suitcase for tabling plus the 
button machine & related equipment & "swag" = rocks, t-shirts, ... .  
Caroline would like more people to have a "tabling kit".  Caroline 
thinks it is NOT good for all the stuff to be in one place.

Maybe a party for making tabling kits?  Caroline will email around to 
recruit people.

Tian suggests a county wide voter registration drive to give a prize ... 
.  Tian will add this to the agenda for next month.

> Regional Rep job opening (10 min.)

Jim Stauffer:  Next month we will have an election for regional reps.  
We need two people.  Werner volunteered.  Jim prefers to have the second 
be someone from San Mateo county.

Roy Nordbloom has also volunteered.  However, he has not spent much time 
in the past with the Green party.


Spencer has also volunteered.


Proposed:  Werner is the candidate for the regional rep.  Spencer and 
Roy will run for the alternate, with the understanding that the winner 
will resign if San Mateo elects a regional rep.  Jim Stauffer is on 
their email list.  The list seems to be more active than the group.


#######################


Jim Stauffer's strategy meeting (5 min.):  Jim is working on a report 
summarizing the discussion last Saturday.  Werner suggests Jim post his 
report to the local Green Discuss list while simultaneously submitting 
it to the state.  Jim will also post it on the Wiki and circulating the 
URL to the Wiki.


Spencer volunteered to prepare a tutorial on inputting a Wiki.


Proposed (Jim Doyle) :  "Explicit long term goals with associated 
development of plans for achieving those long term goals be on the 
agenda.  Budget, namely, not how much, but what for?    Well, yes, make 
some estimates on the amounts."  (10 min.)


In brief, this seems to be a request for a planning session for detailed 
actions to achieve the goals in Jim Stauffer's meeting last Saturday.


Werner will post to the Green Discuss list a request for people to bring 
their proposed Green party activities for the next meeting to initiate 
planning for the rest of the year.  Werner will also send an email to 
Jim Doyle to ask him to clarify what he intended in proposing this topic 
for the agenda.
