[statecom] Have added new state committee members to statecom and statecom-discuss lists

[Merelice]

Greetings and Welcome (I hope),

Actually, before the new appointments can become official, the
individuals are asked to confirm their continuing interest in being
appointed. There was some doubt that this might be the case, given the
tensions and sensitivities at the June 29 StateCom meeting. So the
appointment was conditioned on getting that confirmation. (It would be
helpful if you would simultaneously identify which working committee
you are most interested in joining -- a requirement of State Committee
members.)

Also, the validity of StateCom's vote has been questioned as possibly
being in conflict with the Party's bylaws since it gave an effective
date of July 15. So AdCom referrred the matter to the Procedures
Committee for its recommendation. Jamie participated in that AdCom
meeting and has apparently forgotten about the discussion. I should
hasten to add that it is AdCom's strong preference that the StateCom
vote be considered valid. Otherwise, the appointment could not take
place until the next StateCom meeting. The only way StateCom could
reach consensus was by adding the two amendments mentioned above
(confirmation of interest and effective date).

The Procedures Committee has yet to determine its recommendation,
though it would be helpful if it did so soon, at least by this
Saturday's AdCom meeting, especially since the July 15 effective date
is now past.
