[statecom] Special State Committee Meeting now in session

[Yarden]

Merelice, Jamie, et al at Special State Committee Meeting now in session

I have much patience, and little information.

While I am somewhat confused by how the exercise of judgement in the  
appointing of people to a committee that is meeting by rules that I  
cannot perceive even though I am in attendance, I suppose that one can  
write rules that do the job.  Is there any way for us to know what the  
quorum is at our present meeting and which delegates to the State  
Committee, are participating in this 'communicating' at any given  
time?  Like a daily check-off maybe?

I am aware of the fact that we chose the 2008 - 2010 State Committee,  
and that it would be well to add to it.  But where do I find the  
membership that was chosen at the April 12 meeting?  Where do I find  
the current membership?
I know that Dona has resigned, and that other women have threatened  
to, but where on our website is the list of people who remain?

How should current members of the State Committee be engaged in  
recruiting new representatives to the State Committee now that the  
meeting has been in session for 2 days?

I do hope that the people who are planning to be delegates to the  
National Nominating Convention can summon as much patience as I am  
privileged to afford.
Elie Yarden
delegate, Middlesex
