[Convention] Convention Agenda (Timeline) and Questions

[Anne Donahue]

Jim,
Here is the timeline that was decided amongst you, me and Lisa. The two
workshops you are referring to are scheduled for Saturday, 1:30 to 3:20. 
THE CORRECT TITLES ARE :    
ADDRESSING RACE AND CLASS BIAS IN THE PARTY    
AND     
RIGHTS-BASED ORGANIZING:  ESTABLISHING DEMOCRACY IN MASSACHUSETTS.  This
timeline IS WHAT should be posted on the website and to go into the
packets you are making up.  Jon okayed this timeline and I did send it to
you.

With so many revisions to the timeline, it can get very confusing. I did
not include anything in the timeline for childcare so maybe that needs to
be ironed out. Maybe, just go along with what you think.

Anne
