At the next GA meeting we can vote it up or down or modify it.<br><br>2) John Thielking postponed the discussion of expanding the commission structure for the Green Party to earn money by selling Peacemovies booklets and newsletter subscriptions. Warner had concerns that could likely be addressed by e-mail or at the next GA meeting, provided that a written proposal was submitted to this list before the next GA meeting. Note that at previous GA meetings the following was approved:<br><br>a) to have Peacemovies lit at the tables (I don't recall the exact details, but somehow
I got the impression that using the GP logo on the lit was also ok or approved somehow. The GP logo no longer appears on the Peacemovies lit, except possibly for some older versions that may still be in the tabling kits. This change -- dropping the GP logo -- happened around Dec 2012?)<br><br>b)It was also approved to have the Peacemovies 2011 and 2012 booklets at the tables and sell them for $7, with $3.50 from each sale going to the Green Party. John Thielking would pay the sales tax on the $7 from his portion of the proceeds.<br><div><span><br></span></div><div>I will submit the details of my proposed changes at a later time.

Sandy: Good Health Care event written up in El Observador (au.:
Sandy) California Heath Professional Student Alliance supports
single payer. One attendee said she, her husband, and two daughters
registered Green after the event. Panelists were great. <br>
<br>
<br>
The Greens put out a lot of money for that event. The venue was
~$350 or $400, and the Green Party paid half of it. <br>
<br>
<br>
Warner will look at the health insurance exchanges over the next few
months and might wish to share information with other similarly
impacted people. <br>

$68.50 collected tonight. <br>
<br>
<br>
Tian: has been emptying the mailbox in Mt. View. It has been
several years since we've been received any mail (apart from junk
mail). The cost is ~$80 per year for a PO box. It has lapsed. The
mail box is close to Tian's mail box. Tian doesn't mind checking
it, but he has questions about whether we need to collect the
money. <br>
<br>
<br>
Warner: Our formal mailing address should NOT be a personal
address. Would the Collins Foundation and / or the San José Peace
and Justice Center feel that if they would have a problem with the
Green Party<br>
<br>
<br>
PROPOSAL (Warner): We renew the Post Office box if that's still an
option. Consensus. <br>
<br>
<br>
ADDENDUM: We must explore with some priority the legal requirements
for an address and the options. Warner will contact the State Party
liaison to the CA Secretary of State and report back at the next
meeting. After Warner gets an answer, Spencer will ask the Boards
of the Peace Center and Collins Foundation about the Green Party
getting mail at 48 South Seventh. <font size="3"><font face="arial"> </font></font><br>

Warner: If we need a policy, the priority for literature should go
to official Green party literature. In general, the decision of
what to place on the table and where to place it should be left to
the people tabling. The only exception should be that we should not
display literature that is carries the Green Party logo without
approval from some official Green Party organization. <br>
