[statecom] revised draft minutes of 6-29-08 SC in Fall River

[Merelice]

Hi again,

My final comments on the minutes:

Any interpolations by the Secretary, while they might be helpful to
StateCom, need to be deleted before sending the minutes to the
National Party. These minutes are being sent to National as an
official record of the actions taken that are relevant to the GRP
sending its delegation to the convention.

There was considerable discussion about why the State Committee felt
that the facilitator of the virtual meeting should be replaced. While
that does not have to be repeated in the minutes, I question why
Elie's comment about Eli was singled out. One possible brief
description might be:

"Concern continued to be expressed about the willingness of the
current facilitator of the virtual meeting to carry out the express
wishes of the State Committee. There was the feeling that the April 12
statecom consensus to address one item was misunderstood and the
appropriate online format not applied.  It was proposed that Wanda
become female co-facilitator and that Eli replace the current male
facilitator to assure that StateCom's original intentions and the
actions of this meeting would be carried out appropriately."

With the changes above and below, the minutes seem fine.
