[statecom] Re: Open Positions for Convention

[Daniel Melnechuk]

Hi Luc and Merelice,

Seeing as i have been the person who has validated nomination  
signatures we actually haven't been flexible in the past. People  
always get signatures on nomination papers, in recent years mostly at  
the convention. I think that a nomination signature plus printed  
name, city/town live in, on any piece of paper that has the same info  
as the nomination form would do. And you can have as many forms as  
you need to get your 10 valid ones -- all signatures do not have to  
be on one form. And if they are faxed to you that would be ok too  
since signatures over fax are legally recognized. So that means you  
can email the nomination form to someone, they can sign it and fax it  
back to you. That is pretty flexible actually.

And since we have state party status, our convention rules state that  
you have to be registered Green-Rainbow to nominate and vote for the  
officers (co-chairs, sec and treasurer). Any member can nominate and  
vote for directors (fund, member and communicatin').

Peace,
Dan
