>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
We ask that all Greens and others planning to attend the May 26-27 General Assembly in San Francisco to please register online at this time. http://cagreens.org/plenary Information on lodging in San Francisco has just been added to the web site. The two different draft Agenda Packets can also be downloaded (GPCA common password required). You will need both to decide which one to vote for at the Plenary and for discussion before the Plenary County Councils -- Please remember to input your list of delegates and alternates into the Delegates page.

For county delegates to the California General Assembly who wish to find out more about the 2 proposals related to the GPUS and the national Presidential campaign, two teleconferences have been scheduled for answering clarifying questions and general discussion of these proposals. Each of these decision items is somewhat complicated, and plenary agenda time is tight, so delegates are requested to inform themselves and bring their concerns forward prior to the plenary if at all possible. Please note that, with Presidential candidates already declaring and the California primary moved up to February, getting these issues resolved is particularly urgent for both the state and national parties. The two proposals are: 1. the IRV Procedure to Resolve Conflicts over affiliation and Presidential ballot line: http://cagreens.org/bylaws/proposals/GPUS_IRV_procedure.pdf 2. the Delegate Selection Process to the National Presidential Nominating Convention: http://cagreens.org/bylaws/proposals/pres_nom_delegates.pdf The teleconference information is as follows: Tuesday, May 22, 2007 and Thursday, May 24, 2007 Both conferences start at 7:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time Dial-in Number: 1-712-432-2323 (Iowa) Participant Access Code 65324 To help the conference organizer schedule room for enough people, please email Cat Woods (cat801@mindspring.com) and let her know if you expect to attend. (Some extra room will be booked, so don't refrain from calling in if you forget to RSVP.) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
