[GPSCC-chat] Fw: Agenda for Sept. meeting

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, Carline, et al.:


       1.  The statewide Green Party email list 
<gpca-votes at cagreens.org> has been working to develop statements 
describing the Green party position and supportive reasoning.  I believe 
these statement will be posted to the web -- but I don't know when that 
will happen.  I just submitted a request for that to 
<gpca-votes at cagreens.org>, and I hope to be able to report their response.



       2.  Might it be feasible to add an item to discuss 
"wiki.cagreens.org"?  The position statements on the propositions have 
undergone a protracted and painful process, with Michael Feinstein 
holding the official draft.  Most of this work could have been avoided 
if the master text had been editable at least within 
<gpca-votes at cagreens.org> on Google Docs or wiki.cagreens.org.  I 
believe the ideal process would be to have wiki.cagreens.org open to 
all, with people invited to analyze each proposition as it is approved 
for the ballot and post their observations on the Wiki.  Wikipedia has 
developed very good procedures for managing conflict over issues like 
this, and I think we can benefit from using their rules.


       3.  Might it be feasible to add a report on the activities of the 
Committee Against Political Repression?  Homeland Security is engaged in 
a witch hunt against people who engaged on peaceful assembly protesting 
the Republican National Convention in Chicago 4 years ago.  In my 
judgment, the government's actions in this arena continue the general 
McCartyite attacks on our First Amendment rights embodied in the 
National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of last year on top of the 
Effective Death Penalty and Anti-Terrorist Act of 1996, etc.


       I don't think we need more than 5 minutes for either of the 
latter two of these three items, and I would hope that the first could 
be included in the 15 minutes allotted to a discussion of " Putting our 
proposition recommendations on our website".


       Thanks,
       Spencer
