Improve the Operations of the State Committee
Friday July 06, @11:25AM, by Mike Heichman, Suffolk County
Subject : Improve the Operations of the State Committee
Summary :
Improve the Operations of the State Comm
Text :
A. Agenda of State Comm. Meetings
1. The State Committee meeting will prioritize its agenda more wisely by focusing most of its attention in the following areas:
i. making of policy between conventions
ii. improving communication and coordination
iii. evaluating the progress of the party
It will stop doing the work that should be done by other organs of the party. Examples:
i. It will stop making endorsements .
ii. It will stop working crafting position statements or working on the platform.
B. The quorum for State Comm. meetings will be changed from 50% to 40%.
C. Creating more meaningful, effective, fun, and efficient meetings consistent with GRP values
The State Comm. will create a Subcommittee which will study the operations of our meetings. It will make recommendations to change the by-laws and standing rules.
This Subomm. will also make recommendations for the kinds of trainings that would be useful, including trainings in facilitation and consensus.
The Subcomm. will issue a progress report well before the next meeting of the State Comm (Fall, 2007) and give ample opportunity for discussion and feedback. It will then take this feedback and make its final report and proposals at least 3 weeks before the Fall meeting.

I cosponsor this with two reservations.
StateCom should not devolve its power to make endorsements for the GRP.
The subcommittee on rules should be TEMPORARY, reporting to and dissolving at the Fall StateCom.
