list of confirmed panelists?
by John-Marc Chandonia 07 May '04

07 May '04

Hi, I'd like to put a preliminary schedule for the summit up on the website. Please send me a list of panelists (correct spelling of names, if possible) who have confirmed. Last month's minutes (http://www.sfgreenparty.org/events/singleminutes.gem?idx=53) and the month before have a list of some people, but I'm not sure it's accurate. Once this is done, I'd like to get the invitations out, this weekend if possible. Thanks, JMC -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc(a)sfgreens.org) http://www.dolorespark.org/

Transpo questions for questionnaire
by John-Marc Chandonia 22 Apr '04

22 Apr '04

Hi Kimm, Here are questions the TWG came up with. Sorry about the relatively unedited state; I hope somebody from the group can come on Sunday night to help hash these questions out. I can't, as I'll be in Atlanta until Sunday night. (there's a remote possibility I'll get back in time to come to the meeting late) 1) How would you address current and future MUNI budget problems? Please be specific... what type of charter reform, service cuts, or additional revenue sources would you support? 2) Are there any circumstances under which you would support the construction of a parking garage in a public park? 3) And how do you think the City's Transit First policy squares with the Green Party ten key values and how would you help realize this vision? (kind of an open-ended question that lets candidates get away with a lot) 4) Other garages are also in the works. One is being planned down near the new Mills complex by the water. WHere does the candidate stand on this? 5) How do you stand on Saturday street closure of Golden Gate Park? JMC -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc(a)sfgreens.org) http://www.dolorespark.org/

I was also surprised by this. It seems they were working on passing this shortly before the March 2 primary.

Please be specific... what type of charter reform, service cuts, or additional revenue sources would you support? 2) Are there any circumstances under which you would support the construction of a parking garage in a public park?

Minutes posted
by John-Marc Chandonia 16 Mar '04

16 Mar '04

Hi, I posted minutes for the 2/18 GM (taken by Woody Hastings) and the 3/11 TWG meeting to the website. This took so long because we didn't have a good record of who was chosen as a delegate to the GPCA plenary, but I think we've finally figured it out. Please email me any additional corrections, and I'll edit the minutes. JMC -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc(a)sfgreens.org) http://www.dolorespark.org/
