{news} No on using RRO Re: [CTGREENPARTYNEWS] Re: SCC Meeting Location and agenda for meeting - hope this works

[Justine McCabe]

Hi Michele,

I think you misunderstood me.  I oppose using Roberts Rules of Order, as does the Green Party of  the US, and heretofore, GPCT.  Again, as David Bedell indicated in his post, GPUS'  use of consensus/modified consensus was a very deliberate choice over RRO as a more democratic way of facilitating meetings and making decisions. Historically, it was incorporated early on in the formation.  I urge that we keep modified consensus decision making.


Regards, 
Justine

  Hello Everyone.

  I will be at the meeting.  I agree with Justine, we should utilize Roberts Rules. That works for me.

  Dear all, 

  Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the SCC meeting next Tuesday as I work until 7 pm.
  However, I do want to register a concern re: NEED TO ADOPT ROBERTS’ RULES OF ORDER (CURRENT EDITION)     

  The Green Party of the CT, in keeping with the Green Party of the US,  has long rejected Roberts Rules of Order as an unnecessarily hierarchical way of facilitation and instead, uses modified consensus in all its decision making.    Several year ago, in an effort to educate greens about this, the NW chapter hosted a daylong training on modified consensus with GPUS facilitator extraordinaire, Lynn Serpe from NY. 

  Anyway, for those of you new to the GP, this is not a little issue, but significant in terms of  process being the message.
  At some point, Judy Herkimer and I would be happy to provide an intro to this different way of making decisions.  It is one where consensus is the goal, and votes are taken only when there is a blocking concern from someone in the group. 

  Until then, I oppose the adoption of RRO for the GPCT.  

  Best regards, 
  Justine
