National Green Party! <br><br>Here is some basic information on how to become a delegate to the
National Green Party Nominating Convention.<br><br>The SF Green Party will consider the list of potential BACK-UP
delegates (see below for more details) to the National Nominating Convention at
our next General Meeting on Wednesday, November 28, 2008. There will
be an election re-cap from 7:00-8:30 and the regular meeting will
immediately follow. <br><br>The Green Party's Nominating Convention is July 10-13, 2008 in Chicago,
IL. There MAY BE some scholarships, stipends and travel assistance
funds, but these are extremely limited and delegates are encouraged to
find ways to fund their own travel. <br><br>The final number of California delegates to the national nominating convention
are not yet set; each region within California will be allocated delegates by
Green voter registration within the region.<br><br>Anyone interested in being a delegate is encouraged to contact the
Presidential candidate of their choice and ask to be added to the delegate
slate. A list of Presidential candidates appearing on California's ballot and
contact information is forthcoming. <br><br>California delegates to the 2008 convention will be selected first from lists
submitted by presidential candidates. All candidates for the Green
Party's Presidential nomination are encouraged to recruit a list of
potential California delegates, which will be sorted by region. Delegates will be
selected in proportion to the votes that candidate receives in each region.
If a candidate receives 10% of the vote, they may send up to 10% of the
delegation from that region (so if the SF delegation is 20 and a
candidate gets 10%, that candidate may send the top two delegates from her
or his list). <br><br>Per California Green Party State Bylaws, potential delegates may only approach one
candidate. <br><br>In the event that there are still vacancies in the delegation, the California Greens are collecting lists from each region of potential back-up
Delegates. PLEASE NOTE THAT GETTING ON THIS LIST IS NOT A GUARANTEE THAT YOU
WILL BE A DELEGATE. This is a back-up list to ensure that California sends a
full delegation to the nominating convention. <br><br>The County Council of the San Francisco Green Party established the
following guidelines at our recent County Council meeting. All elected and
appointed officials will be added to the list of potential back-up
delegates. County Council members may opt to be included in this list. All
registered members of the SF Green Party are invited to apply for
delegate status if they are interested. The SFGP Delegate list must be at
least 50% female, and 30% people of color. The selection process will take place at the SFGP General Meeting on
November 28, starting at 8:30 p.m. <br><br><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><font size="4"><a rel="nofollow" style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;" target="_blank" href="http://cagreens.org/bylaws/proposals/pres_nom_delegates_ADOPTED.pdf">http://cagreens.org/bylaws/proposals/pres_nom_delegates_ADOPTED.pdf</a></font>
