>Background: <p>At the GPUS Steering Committee meeting in Washington, D.C. on
>September 18-19, the SC held discussions on many timely and important
>subjects currently facing the Green Party of the United States.  The
>Steering committee is recommending the formation of 2 working groups
>to address several of these challenges and help provide thoughtful
>direction for the future of our party.  What follows below, and in a
>concurrent proposal, are the recommendations of the SC for action by
>the GPUS Coordinating Committee.</p>
>
><p>One of these challenges is finding a way to utilize our experience
>from the 2004 GPUS National Nominating Convention, the process leading
>to it and our experience as a party since.  We will have to go through
>this process again in 2007 / 2008 and many feel beginning a process of
>evaluation and future recommendations will help us craft the most
>grassroots, democratic and inclusive process for future national
>nomination and exploratory processes.</p>
>
><p>The GPUS Steering Committee feels the best way to benefit from the
>experiences of 2003/2004 and begin planning for future national
>nominating processes is a working group to review the 2004
>presidential exploratory process, national nominating process and
>nominating convention and compile the lessons and recommendations the
>CC, and the GPUS committees, can use to prepare for 2007/2008.</p>
>
>Proposal: <p>The Green Party of the United 
>States shall form a working group to
>review the 2004 presidential exploratory process, national nominating
>process and nominating convention and compile the lessons and
>recommendations the CC, and the GPUS committees, can use to prepare
>for 2007/2008.</p>
><p>The working group shall consist of 15 members,<br>
>  ï 5 members from 5 national committees, 1 each from AC / Credentials /
>BRPP / PCSC / ANMC.  The nominees do not have to be members currently
>serving on the committee, but should have been active during period
>beginning 1/1/04 and ending 6/30/04.<br>
>  ï 9 members nominated by state parties and caucuses.
>Nominations will be due to the Steering Committee from states,
>caucuses and committees no later than December 19, 2004.  The Steering
>Committee shall record and announce the working group members no later
>than January 1, 2005.  Should there be more state and caucus nominees
>than the number of available positions, the GPUS Secretary will draw 5
>names randomly from those submitted.  This resolution requests the
>working group provide the SC a preliminary report and recommendations
>by March 1, 2005 and provide the CC a final report and list of
>recommendations by April 1, 2005.</p>
>
>Resources: <p>TIME LINE: Committee Nominations 
>by 12/19/04, members announced by SC
>by 1/1/05, preliminary report to SC by 3/1/05 and final report to CC
>by 4/1/05.</p>
