<br>
Please know that the admins understand everyone’s frustration with this recent email exchange and that we have contacted several commenters to ask them to step back from continuing to reply.<br>
<br>
Also know that, as SGA delegates, you depend on this list to get information so you can vote.<br>
<br>
So please consider that if you ask to be removed from the list.<br>

The admins are acting to deal with this, so the problems *<b>will</b>* stop.<br>

<br>
I totally understand an empathize with your frustration, but it is also very important to remember that the Green Party has very good and strong Rules of Decorum for interaction on our email lists – and that even when someone violates those rules, it is both
not ok, and makes the problem worse, to respond in a way that also violates them. Particularly important are the rules against targeting others with personal insults and demonization.<br>
<br>
I’ll post a follow-up email in just a bit with the links to our Green Party email Codes of Conduct and SGA email list rules so that everyone has those to read, reference, and respect.<br>
<br>
thanks<br>

<p>What evidence is this exactly? That someone sent a request? I see no reply explaining a refusal to comply. How are we to know phone calls weren't made or that SGA admins other than Laura weren't contacted separately? It is my understanding that Brian Good
was contacted, although this could be wrong.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If there is no actual evidence to indicate the claims which have been stated, the argument should cease.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>This still does not address my original concern that the statistics of the SGA vote are not valid. The reason for this is that the voting was not completed since some SGA delegates were cut off three hours prior to the deadline. It makes no difference whether
or not these delegates "agreed" to forfeit their votes. The point is- it affects the percentages in the results. Therefore, if someone out there was citing these percentages for whatever reason- the numbers would not be accurate.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I wish i had mentioned it when it happened, but i mention now because we are approaching a new voting period and it is my hope, as it should be for all others as well, that this next vote reflects more integrity in the values we claim to uphold.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">NOTE that in researching the GP-US voting system, it appears that “Vote Administrators” are called “Floor Managers” and the job rotates among the Steering Committee members, with some duties performed by the Secretary of the Steering Committee.
The system was described as a process of filling out (“plugging in”) the software forms online: checking boxes for kind of vote, discussion period, listing candidates; and pasting in proposals, background, resources required, references. It’s possible that
the CA system, which apparently was originally based on the same system as the national, may have become more complicated over the years, but still do-able by people who are not necessarily highly technical.<o:p></o:p></p>
