Shane -<br><br>
A couple of these comments I don't agree with:<br><br>
<br>
" IN VIEW OF THE 2010 ELECTION RESULTS AND OUR POLICY NOT TO TAKE
LARGE <br>
CORPORATE FUNDS"<br><br>
These issues really aren't the basis for setting future goals, at least
no <br>
more than a myriad of other issues<font color="#FF0000">.[I agree they
are not the basis-- they are our constraints on our
plans]</font><br><br>
"We'd like YOU to collect your responses, blend them with things
we've been <br>
talking<br>
about and create a *_draft outline_* GPCA Strategic Action Plan FOR EACH
TIME <br>
PERIOD for our Spring Plenary. ."<br><br>
We should not ask Locals to create an outline of a strategy plan. That's
the <br>
work of the state party. We would simply want their input on ideas. I'd
stay <br>
with Kendra's original text. <font color="#FF0000">[That is Kendra's
original text. Does she want 3 plans or not? I would think
so. I deleted "blend them with things we've been talking
about" because the Counties have had no idea what we hjave been
talking about. I think thast phrase will confise
them.]</font><br><br>

Subject: Re: [StrategyPlan] Final? Draft re Strategizing<br>

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed<br><br>
A couple of corrections:<br><br>
Our official name is "The Green Party of California" and it
should be used in <br>
all correspondence. The acronym, GPCA, can be used after the first
occurrence <br>
of the full name.<br><br>
On wiki.cagreens, they do not actually have to create an account to enter
<br>
comments. Verify this with Bert, but I'm pretty sure that's what we
discovered <br>
last time.<br><br>
The StrategyPlan list is open posting. Greens do not have to subscribe to
the <br>
list to post.<br><br>
<br>
And one suggestion -- include "goals" in the opening line. I've
long argued <br>
that you can't devise a strategy without first setting a goal.<br><br>
"2011 is the ideal time to set goals for the party and develop
strategies to <br>
implement them."<br><br>
<br>
As a final comment, I'm sorry to see that this exercise will not be used
as a <br>
tool to get Locals to have a combined meeting. I thinks there's a lot of
<br>
benefit to that: neighboring counties get to meet each other; the
responses <br>
are more condensed / less duplication; and I think we'd get a better
quality <br>
of response.<br><br>
