[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)

Correct. The counties are already good to go. We only need to fix this process for state level recognition and participation.

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.
