Subject: [usgp-nc] Final amendments to Proposal 295

 The Apportionment Standing Committee, having had under consideration the
matter of the GNC Apportionment, as charged by Proposal 272, hereby submits
its


R E P O R T:


Synopsis:

The GPUS Apportionment Standing Committee has approved the final
apportionment of delegates to state parties (below) by
consensus. This apportionment includes final corrections received from state
parties as well as all sustained challenges. The net impact is that 3 state
parties lose one delegate and 3 state parties gain one delegate, relative to
the estimates previously submitted.


Challenges:

The committee received only two challenges, both from Phil Huckelberry of
Illinois:

1. Correction of data entry for DC percentage -- A number was entered that
was for a race not contested by both major parties. The number needed to be
changed from 14.4% to 4.1%.

2. Correction of spreadsheet formula in the State Voting Strength category
-- The calculation in the spreadsheet was a holdover from when DAC had
listed votes for local candidates as a separate option from votes for
statewide candidates. Votes for all Green Party candidates, local and state,
should be totaled and calculated as a percentage of the overall total,
rather than the local and statewide score being calculated separately.
Again, this was a simple correction of an error.

Both challenges were sustained by the committee and are incorporated into
the final apportionment numbers below.


Reference:

The final spreadsheets are available at:
< http://www.seattlegreens.org/gpus-dac/index.html>


Conclusion:

The numbers below implement the apportionment formula adopted by the GPUS
National Committee on April 16, 2007.

The committee has completed its assigned tasks and has made every effort to
faithfully and accurately calculate the result of the adopted formula.

The Secretary is hereby requested to cause the voting page to be amended as
soon as possible (but in any case prior to the start of the voting period of
Proposal 295) by replacing the existing delegate numbers with those shown
below.
