[GNC] Coordinators for Each Massachusetts Candidate Delegation

[Scott Pherson]

Hello everyone,
 
I want to let you know that the CDLC is in the process of submitting the delegate application to the national.  You may or may not be contacted by members of the national Green Party in the next coming weeks- I'm not sure how that will work.  I am sure that barring any unforeseen circumstances, you will get to appear at the Convention as a MA delegate or delegate.
 
FYI,
Green-Rainbow Party Delegation consists of:
10 Uncommitted/No Preference delegates
2 Uncommitted/No Preference alternates (NOTE: Each of these two alternates are serving as a delegate for another candidate after learning of their alternate status after the Apr. 10 statecom and successfully petitioning to be a delegate for another candidate due to our May 1 deadline extension.  For all intents and purposes, these two alternates will be serving as delegates for other candidates since they cannot hold two different positions at the same time.)
5 Salzman delegates - [if the proxy voting rule is passed, 4 of these delegates may cast their vote twice to allow for the 9 delegates that Salzman should have had]
9 Cobb delegates
3 Cobb alternates
3 Glover delegates
3 Mesplay delegates
1 Nader delegate - [if the proxy voting rule is passed, this delegate may cast his vote twice to allow for the 2 delegates that Nader should have had]
TOTAL: 31 delegates, 3 alternates

Lorna Salzman:

David Cobb:

Paul Glover:

Ralph Nader:
-David Rolde  davidrolde at comcast.net  781-642-7218
 
No Preference/Uncommitted:
-No coordinator since there is no candidate to be held accountable to.  However, I may suggest that some of our uncommitted delegates who have been active in organizing/discussing issues on this list come forward, e.g. Jen? Steve? Betty?  I should not fill this role as I am not a delegate nor will I be going to the convention.
 

 
It is the responsibility of each coordinator to be the contact person between her/his Presidential Candidate and/or Campaign Committee and the MA GRP delegates and alternates awarded to the Presidential Candidate.  I am also encouraged by the informative emails that coordinators have sent to the GNC list.
Although not specified, I think that the coordinators can play an important role for discussion, negotiation, and compromise between our six types of delegations between now and the Presidential Nominating portion of the Convention.  A lot of what I'm saying here echoes what Mike Heichman mentioned in his earlier email.
 
I'd also like to echo what Owen, Wanda, and others have been saying about the need for delegates to educate themselves about the various Green Party Presidential candidates (and about Green Party Platform Proposals)- I like the idea of holding a meeting.
 
I hope that this GNC list is more helpful than a nuisance and thank you everyone for stepping forward to represent Massachusetts at the Convention in June!  If you have any questions or concerns about this list, please contact Steve Milder smilder at fas.harvard.edu or myself spherson24 at yahoo.com for help.  Thanks!
