[GPCA-SGA-Votes] How to subscribe to the GPCA-Forum general discussion email list (was RE: Note Of Subject Header Change For This Email List)

Tue Feb 6 03:21:58 PST 2018

Eric,

Are there strict criteria or bureaucratic rules I'm missing? I agree that
multiple venues for recognition are essential given the existence of
inactive counties, but at least at the active county level, the process
seems pretty cut and dried and unbureaucratic. No idea how someone would go
about it if there was no county level party. I've never seen this as a
decision, per se... someone who wants to join, and meets the criteria, is
automatically a member.

The only time the state would ever need to be notified is if someone
unregistered were to want to engage with it, such as by being a GA delegate
or serving on a committee or work group, and it seems reasonable for the
local (if active) to vouch for their status as a member in that case.

To be comprehensive, I would recommend making this bylaws change universal
such that anyone who has been recognized as a member by their county
council, by consensus/vote at a General Assembly, or by the Coordinating
Committee, should be recognize as a member of the Green Party. We should
also relax the criteria, so that the counties, GA, or CC, decide why they
are recognizing an undocumented or disenfranchised person as a member – for
example because of their volunteer work for the Party (instead of having
convoluted bureaucratic pretzel-like rules about it).

I will elevate to Bylaws for our next call to discuss. To be clear it is
for the inclusion of disenfranchised people to participate in forums?
Thomas, Butte has similar language to include the legally disenfranchised.
We have a mechanism for including them on decision making. The council is
very important to getting stuff done in Butte. The council is the party. We
announce plenariea and may be get the council plus one or two more. That's
just our reality.

Peace

If we have weird bureaucratic rules that prevent undocumented Green
volunteers from being on our email lists we need to amend those absurd
rules immediately. Until any such rules can be amended.. we need to show
flexibility and bend those rules.. It is absolutely unacceptable to bar
anyone from participation on our lists just because they are legally unable
to register to vote.

------------------------------

I apologize for not sharing the rule I was quoting.

*Article 3. Membership*  (as last amended 1/18/2013
<http://files.cagreens.org/vote/propdetail?pid=13>)

*Section 3-1 Members*

GPCA members are those who are legally registered to vote in California as
members of the Green Party. County Organizations may also extend GPCA
membership to county residents who are not otherwise eligible to register
to vote in California, but who affirm in writing the Ten Key Values and the
GPCA's purpose, and meet other criteria established by the GPCA and/or the
county organization. For such membership to be valid within the parameters
defined in these bylaws, the County Organization must forward minutes to
the Coordinating Committee of the meeting at which such membership was
extended.

Yolanda, all,

Undocumented citizens are fully included in the Green Party. Our lists do
not exclude them.

Hi again all,

I’ve just changed the lead text for the subject header of this email list
to:

[GPCA-SGA-Votes]

I did this to make more clear that this list is just for discussion of
directly **SGA** related votes and issues.

So that we can avoid burning anyone out with non list related discussions,
please take all discussions of **other** Green Party issues to our Forum
discussion list at the email address below.

thanks,

Eric Brooks
