[statecom-discuss] RE: AdCom Digest, Vol 36, Issue 16

Thu Jun 21 19:35:39 EDT 2007

I am not sure what stage our special meeting is n due to prop  296, see 
below, I hope that we will not have to elect delegates over the internet, we 
might since we have not posted and official meeting notice on the state com 
business list,( i am not sure that i am on that list) we should wait to send 
a call for nominations until after  the NC prop 296 vote to see if we can 
wait at least until a state com meeting to have an election in person

I, myself have to keep my blood pressure down and I must step back fro the 
process for  week or 2 as told to me by my medical care giver,

I do encourage Martina Robinson to attend that national convention,

I have also suggested to Elie Yarden that he wade through the process and 
take on a larger role, as he has been nominated to be a co-chair for the 
national party
