Thanks Holly. Not having been able to be at the meeting in question, I =
can't comment re: questions of fact. I had heard a concern that some =
people had remembered a commitment in 2000 to link the GPUS website to =
the LP Call for Economic Justice along with an acknowledgement of the =
support the GP gave to that call.=20
I hope that (whatever the reality of the 2000 decisions -- I'm not =
particularly worried about that) the language of the recommendation to =
the Platform Committee includes such a commitment this time. Since the =
Labor Greens hope to in the next period develop a webpage of our own, it =
could of course be linked from that page with an acknowledgement of the =
CC resolution.
All the best,
Michael-David
