8:35 Report back from Jr State. 


8:40 Should we start a series of pizza parties and/or other general interest events to build third party support? Should regular monthly meetings continue in current format or should the work be delegated to micro-committees who only have to check in with County Council to get approval for spending money? Contact Libertarians, Peace and Freedom, etc about pizza parties. Find out if we can get a regular venue for a GMO free potluck instead of a questionable GMO content pizza place. And/or should we try to spice up the monthly meetings by actually having speakers at 7PM-7:30PM?


8:55 youth connections - 5 - 10 min


9:00 4 year electoral plan 10 - 15 min
infrastructure, candidate(s), fundraising, gotv, social media, etc.


9:10 Jazzing up our literature and translating it into Vietnamese. Caroline


9:15 Techie committee for web site(s) and discussion of issues re:web sites and their accessibility. For example John Thielking has put out a job on a tech web site that allows people to hire web developers to hire someone to find a tech solution to the Google mobile rendering problem (where Google displays an inadequate “optimized” display of web pages on cell phones.) I am requesting that anyone I hire for this job will license the html code solution (if available) for Peacemovies.com and for free distribution to the Green Party and other interested parties. Caroline wants the web site to be updated with the correct contact info and up to date issues and events.


9:25PM Last minute planning for Dec 8th talk with Sharat Lin and Pete O'Reilly and possibly one other speaker on the subject of War and Peace with Iran, Syria and Israel/Palestine. Does the Green Party want to co-sponsor this event? Do we need to pay money for the venue? John is covering gas money for any out of town speakers who want to speak (Peace and Freedom party invitations have been sent out to people in SF). No more than 3 speakers are recommended for this event.


9:35 Meeting ends
