 CALL for NOMINATIONS for the COORDINATED CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE!!

On September 24, 2006, the National Committee approved a change in the  
way CCC members are elected.  Per Proposal #243 (below), a call is to  
go out each year two weeks after the date of the general election,  
with a two week nomination period.  (Those members currently serving  
on the CCC will keep their seats until the next election.)

The nomination period runs today through December 5, 2006.   *CCC  
candidates must be formally nominated, in writing, by their respective  
state party or caucus.*  Please send nominations to the Secretary, at  


Seats are open for 4 men and 2 women.  Currently serving CCC members  
are from RI, GA, NY and IN; therefore, members of those states are not  
eligible to serve on the CCC this year.  Members from all other states  
or accredited caucuses are eligible.


Holly HAart
Secretary, GPUS


*****
from Proposal #243, 9/24/06:
The Coordinated Campaign Committee shall consist of 10 voting members
Drawn from the affiliated state parties and caucuses. The National
Committee shall elect 5 members of the CCC and replacements for recently
opened vacancies with an on line election to be held each year. Nominations
will be called for by the Secretary of the GPUS each year two weeks after
Election Day. A two week nominating period shall be opened, followed by
one week of discussion and an on line STV vote using the GPUS voting page
and following the procedures and protocols the GPUS uses to elect the
Steering Committee. The 5 people elected each year via the regular election
shall serve two year terms while those elected or selected to fill vacancies
will serve out the term of the member they are replacing. In between annual
December elections for the CCC the GPUS Steering Committee shall
appoint Greens to fill vacancies.

Committee members elected or selected in 2006 prior to an on line
Election authorized by the passage of this proposal shall be able to
maintain their seats until the election held in 2007. The Committee will
continue to recruit and have members selected by the GPUS SC prior to  
November 2006 and then hold an election based on this rule change  
beginning in November
2006 to fill the rest of the seats that have not yet been filled. The
Committee shall in January 2007 hold a lottery to determine which of the
newly elected committee members shall have their terms conclude in December
2007 and which 5 shall Serve until the election in 2008.

The committee shall always have an equal number of males and females on
Its roster except when it has an odd number of members. Then its makeup can
Be +1 for any gender. The exception to this rule is that no member of the
committee shall be asked or forced to resign from the committee in order to
reestablish the gender balance. The balance will be re established by
Adding members to the committee. Each year the election to fill seats on
the CCC shall actually be two elections, one to elect males to the  
committee, one to elect females to the committee. The number of men  
and women elected in any given year shall be determined by nature of  
the vacancies in that year with
the goal of having 5 men and 5 women on the committee.

No State Green Party or GPUS Caucus may have more than one member serving on
the CCC at any time. State Parties and Caucuses must formally, in  
writing, nominate one of their members to serve on the CCC. No State  
Party or Caucus can nominate more than one person in any given year,  
nor can they nominate if a member of their state party or caucus will  
continue to serve on the committee after the filling of whatever seats  
are being filled. Nominations from State Party or Caucus officers are  
to be sent to the Secretary of the GPUS during the
post November Election Nominating Period and when a vacancy is being filled,
and the Secretary shall publish them on the votes email list.
