<DIV><FONT size=4>I participated in the GPUS Delegation meeting Saturday evening
at the Plenary in Berkeley on Saturday April 30th, in part to discuss developing
a proposal to host a San Jose, CA 2012 combined Annual National Meeting and
Presidential Nominating Convention after obtaining consent at our preceding
GPSCC meeting. The general reaction was negative. Michael Feinstein
(per normal) personalized his opposition and rationalized it as something that
would distract energies statewide. Greg Jan claimed that his unsuccessful
2008 contemplated a hundred volunteers from San Francisco and Alameda Counties
combined. Sanda Everette, who had initially supported the idea, withdrew
her support. Others present, with the exception of Kent Mesplay were
otherwise negative.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I have consistently expressed a commitment to getting a sense
of support not only from our local group but also from GPCA activists.
Given the reception at the meeting, I would be disinclined to proceed with the
personal time and energies involved in developing a proposal. While we
could independently submit a proposal without formal Delegation approval (as
Greg Jan and Alameda County did previously), that is not how I would want to
proceed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Additionally, I received a delayed email from a GPSCC membeer
questioning the current small number of local volunteers who had committed to
the project so far.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Critically, also, I have not received information and
communication I was promised from the San Jose State University.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>So, all things considered, it seems the better course to not
expend further energies on the project... Maybe look at this again in
2014...</FONT></DIV>
