>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 developing a strategy for the future of the
>Green Party of the United States.  Earlier this year the CC approved a
>proposal for the formation of an ad-hoc strategy committee.  This
>proposal has yet to be implemented, largely because the language in
>the proposal did not include a process to create and charge the
>committee.</p>
>
><p>To implement this proposal the GPUS Steering Committee is submitting
>the process outlined below for creating and charging this working
>group.</p>
>
>Proposal: <p>The Green Party of the United States shall form a 
>working group to
>develop a strategic plan for the Green Party of the United States.  As
>approved by the National Committee, the working group will consist of
>9 members, 5 of which are currently members of a national committee.
>  The working group will be tasked to develop and conduct a survey of
>greens regarding GPUS outreach, media, fundraising, local and state
>election support, local and state organizing and other issues. The
>results of this survey will be analyzed by the working group and used
>to develop a strategy for growing the GPUS and its affiliated state
>parties.</p>
>
><p>The final products will be:<br>
>1. A National Shared Vision Survey. Develop survey to be administered
>to Greens in every state.  It is important to survey greens with
>various levels of involvement in the party and Green elected
>officials.  The raw results of this survey, along with an analysis by
>the working group, will be made available in reports to the SC and
>National Committee.<br>
>2 National Strategic Plan. Based on survey responses, the working
>group will recommend goals and action steps (i.e. priorities,
>programs, and activities) for the GPUS that would energize donors and
>activists, grow state and local parties, assist in the election of
>state and local candidates, increase donations (of time and money) and
>increase the stature and influence of the Green Party nationally.<br>
>3. Organizational Development Plan. Based on these recommendations,
>the committee will also recommend resources and needs, including
>additional staff requirements (e.g., national director, media,
>fundraising, state coordinator, committee coordinator etc.) and needs
>for new or expanded program activities for the national office.</p>
>
><p>The GPUS National Committee, committees, states and caucuses shall
>submit nominations for members of the working group to the Steering
>Committee no later than January 31, 2005.  The Steering Committee
>shall record and announce the working group members no later than
>February 7, 2005.  Should there be more nominees than the number of
>available positions the GPUS Secretary shall randomly draw names from
>those nominated, alternating genders to achieve equity.  This
>resolution requests the working group provide the SC a preliminary
>report by April 15, 2005 and provide the National Committee a final
>report and list of recommendations by June 1, 2005.</p>
>
>Resources: <p>TIME LINE: CC and Committee Nominations by 1/31/05, SC 
>approval by
>2/7/05, preliminary report to SC by 4/15/05 and final report to CC by
>6/1/05.</p>
