Green Party to decide on the site for the 2008 Green National Convention

• The contenders: Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, Oakland


WASHINGTON, DC -- The Green Party of the United States is preparing to
decide on the site for the party's 2008 national nominating
convention, at which Green delegates from nearly every state will
choose a presidential nominee.

The four cities under consideration are Chicago, Illinois; Detroit,
Michigan; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Oakland, California.

"The Green Party's National Committee is discussing proposals from the
four cities and is expected to vote on the site in late August," said
Ruth Weill, co-chair of the party's Annual National Meeting Committee.
"We've been very impressed with the presenters from the four sites,
and we're excited and looking forward to the National Committee's
decision."

Ms. Weill noted that the National Committee will use 'ranked choice
voting' (instant run-off voting) <http://www.fairvote.org> to choose
the site.

The proposals were introduced during the Green Party's 2007 national
meeting in Reading, Pennsylvania <http://www.gp.org/meeting2007>.
Previous Green Party convention sites are Los Angeles, California
(1996); Denver, Colorado (2000); and Milwaukee, Wisconsin (2004).
