I have not seen the following message posted to this email  list.
It is about being a delegate or alternate to the GPUS  Presidential 
Nominating Convention in Baltimore, Maryland the weekend of July  14-15, 2012.  
County GPs are supposed to supply backup delegates/alternates  for candidates 
who do not have a complete slate.  The deadline to apply is  April 5, 2012.  
County Council members are supposed to pass on these kinds  of messages.

the Presidential  Nominating Convention


GREEN PARTY COUNTY CONTACTS MESSAGE

This is an  announcement from the GPCA Contact List.  For more information, 
or  questions related to the topic of the posting, please do not hit  
reply.  Follow the contact directions
stated in the  email.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The  complete Delegate Selection Procedure for the Presidential
Nominating  Convention for CA is on our website   at
http://www.cagreens.org/gpus#PNC  DEADLINE TO APPLY IS APRIL  5.

Every year there is an Annual National Meeting which is attended  by
National Committee (NC) Delegates.  In addition, once every four  years
there is a Presidential Nominating Convention.  For more  information
about the Baltimore convention, see  http://www.gpconvention2012.com/:

So in addition to the Annual  National Meeting which is attended by the
NC Delegates, state parties  also send Presidential Nominating
Convention (PNC) Delegates.  CA  has been alloted 65 delegates out of
about 150.  Every state has  their own procedure to select their
Nominating Convention Delegates and  the responsibility of those
delegates.  California is very specific:  Policies and Procedures for
Selection and Conduct of GPCA Delegates to  the GPUS Presidential
Nominating Convention

Basically, any GPCA  members can apply to be delegates to the GPUS
Presidential Nominating  Convention, while only NC delegates will
attend the Annual National  Meeting.  The convention itself will be on
July 14. Generally NC  delegates will also apply to be PNC delegates,
but we need many more. You  can either apply in support of a particular
candidate or through your  county with no designation.  Read through
the procedure to  understand that better. Applications must be
submitted 60 days before the  Presidential Primary, which would be
April 5.  If you want to apply  directly to the candidates send your
application with subject line CA  Delegate to PNC to:

For the Jill Stein delegation, write  "Erika  P Wolf"<wolf at jillstein.org>
For the Kent Mesplay delegation, write  "Kent Mesplay"<info at mesplay.org>
For the Roseanne Barr delegation,  write "Eric Weinrib" 
<ericweinrib at gmail.com>

If you are  applying through your county, send your application to your
County  Council.

On your application, include your name, address, phone, and  email.  If
you are selected, you will also need to submit your year  of birth.

The candidate delegate slates and the county delegate  slates will be
submitted to the Delegate Selection Committee. That  committee will
work with the lists as proscribed in the procedure.   After the
Presidential Primary on June 5, the committee will intensify  their
work, selecting delegations proportionally to the results of  the
Primary election votes.
Because of the date of the primary as  compared to the date of the PNC,
the committee will need to notify  delegates very quickly and you will
need to be prepared to make your  final decision to accept the positon
quickly as well.  If you are  selecting to go, you will need to
register immediately, though you can  register now if you so choose.
There are specific rules guiding how you  will represent California.

Another important note:  GPCA will  not fund your trip as a PNC
delegate.  You may see if your county  will help raise funds for you,
and in some instances, candidates have  been known to help with your
expenses.

If you have questions,  contact any member of the committee:
