Greetings Greens in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties,

At yesterday's GPSMC General Assembly Meeting (GAM) the following 
actions were taken for GPSCC's consideration. Please let GPSMC know 
how you would like to proceed and if we can offer any additional 
information to facilitate our moving forward with these issues.


1. Invitation to a Regional Picnic Meeting at the San Mateo Central 
Park (3 blocks from San Mateo Cal-train station) on Saturday, July 
21st or Sunday, July 22nd, starting at noon. Would like to also 
invite Santa Cruz, San Benito and Monterey County Green Parties to 
join us.

2. Suggested agenda items for the Regional Meeting are: a report from 
the GPUS delegation, candidate speeches, regional representative 
election (if not resolved prior to the meeting), songs lead my Pat 
Gray and other raging folks, Frisbee fun or other appropriate park 
games, issue of adding Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito to our 
Region, fundraising coordination, discussion of shared issue(s) to 
work together for success.

3. Tentative approval of language for the Regional Representative and 
Alternate further action will be coordinated with GPSCC. Please see 
following for exact language approved.


---Begin approved language at GPSMC GAM June 16, 2007
Choice of Regional Representative and Alternate (Silicon Valley Region)

A candidate for Regional Representative to the GPCA Coordinating 
Committee shall announce their availability as a candidate on the 
[gpsmc-d email list] at least fifteen days before the General 
Administrative meeting at which a vacancy or replacement is 
considered, and the candidacy shall be announced on the agenda for 
that meeting. The candidate shall describe their background relevant 
to their candidacy and briefly describe their goals in seeking the 
position. The candidate shall personally appear at the meeting to 
answer questions. The decision shall then be placed on the agenda of 
the following monthly meeting. If a candidate is approved for 
regional representative in Santa Clara County, the same candidate 
must also be approved for regional representative in San Mateo 
County, or vice  versa. Should the two counties choose different 
candidates for Regional Representative, the decision shall be retaken 
by both counties until there is agreement on a regional 
representative. The regional alternate to the GPCA Coordinating 
Committee shall be chosen by the same procedure. If candidates are 
available, the regional representative and the alternate shall not be 
from the same county.

This amendment shall be effective upon its adoption in substantially 
the same form by both the Green Party of Santa Clara County and the 
Green Party of San Mateo County, and shall not be effective until 
adopted by both County Green Parties. It shall remain effective until 
rescinded by either county, or until the definition of the Silicon 
Valley Region changes. Upon adoption, the County Council from each 
County Green Party shall separately and independently notify the 
Green Party of California of their bylaws amendments opting out of 
the default procedures provided by the state Green Party Bylaws.
---end.
