Its never been my intent to ask the Locals for a complete Strategy
Plan...isn't that our role at GPCA?. I will revise the draft incorporating a
couple of suggestions and get that out shortly. I haven't heard from anyone else
on these 3 listserves. I've yet to connect with Bert re Wiki, but its certainly
on both of our radars.
I honestly don't want to spend another week creating the perfect email because
no such thing exists...if the Locals ask for direction, we can offer it. Keeping
it open like it is now might certainly open the flood gates, but there might be
some amazing ideas that come forward as well. I think we are suffering from
analysis paralysis and I just want to get this done!. The locals might not even
read the damn thing.

Jim:
The Green Party by refusing donations from large corporations has imposed its
own constraint so that any plan has to be low cost, practical,and almost 100%
volunteer driven. I don't need a discussion to arrive at this conclusion.
Prop 14 and the other results of the 2010 California election have to be borne
in mind while creating a practical plan. That is a constraint.
We both know we will get pie in the sky answers anyway from certain sectors.
Leaving context out will invite more of that.
My 14-question approach minimized the pie in the sky factor but that was
outvoted. But that is fine.
Kendra asked for a draft plan to reach the suggested accomplishments---ask
her.....Shane Que Hee, Dec 28 2010
