<DIV><FONT size=4>Congradulations to all involved in organizing a March 2010
GPCA Plenary... I'm sorry I missed the November meeting (short
story: Did not get out of the house until after it was dark, tripped and
fell a few blocks from my house and did not feel it was safe for me to continue
walking to the meeting).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>As some of you are aware, I am one of the California Delegates
to the Green Party of the United States (GPUS) National Committee (GNC).
The GNC consists of delegates from each of the state GPs that affiliate with the
GPUS. The GPUS holds an annual in-person meeting once a year (ANM) and a
presidential nominating convention (QPNC) every four years. Some
conversations have begun whether the 2012 combined ANM/QPNC might be held in
California.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>What is needed to continue those discussions is to identify a
possible host location. Another Delegate is making inquiries about San
Francisco. Greg Jan of Alameda County has indicated tht Alameda County
does not have individuals interested in doing the work necessary to identify a
site and otherwise prepare a proposal. I have been asked to discuss this
issue with Santa Clara County activists.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The local hosts would primarily have the responsibility to
identify a possible site, coordinate housing issues, and provide some local
knowledge and support workers during the meeting period (Wednesday evening
program; meetings and workshops through Sunday noontime; probably early
July). The GPUS would be responsible for expenses, credentialling voting
delegates, media work and setting most of the events and meetings
schedule. Any proposal would have to be approved by the GNC, but the sense
is that if California submitted a proposal it would likely be
accepted.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I would appreciate questions and comments being posted for
discussion on this list. The next Delegation monthly teleconference is the
3rd Tuesday in December, so I would like to have this put on the agenda for our
next general meeting.</FONT></DIV>
