[Pnp-wg] Jump starting the process.

[jamais vu']

Hello, everyone.

I’m Robert Caldwell, CC member and treasurer of the Green Party of 
Louisiana.  I was a delegate in Milwaukee.  I work full time and am very 
active.  The volume on this list-especially multiple posts from the same 
person in a day- is a bit overwhelming.  Could the moderator please switch 
me to daily digest?

I think this committee should have a nominations process and vote on who our 
facilitators will be. Let’s get our process down first.

A real concern I have about Milwaukee is that delegates didn’t have 
collective or individual speaking rights from the floor, nor were motions 
from the floor allowed.  I believe that the convention should have a right 
to approve its own agenda, etc.  I also think the primary phase was 
confusing. I will poll other delegates and my state coordination committee 
for additional concerns.

Despite being from a “small” state, on apportionment, I think Steve 
Greenfield’s comments are basically on target.  Califronia and New York are 
over 1/2 of the national membership.  They need reprsentation. We also want 
to build a national party, which requires some minimal representation of all 
affiliated state parties. Overcompensation or "defensiveness" will not help 
us move forward.
