Steering Committee discussion and decision regarding request and proposals from Jill Stein presidential campaign. Craig, Margaret, Tony, Darryl!, Tamar, Joseph, Alfred and Holly attended various calls earlier from the Jill Stein presidential campaign and SC
This meeting is being recorded.
Sense of group is that the SC does not support submitting a proposal to change the bylaws to support potential selection of a Vice-Presidential slate at the nominating convention. There is not complete agreement on all points, but members do agree on not taking up the proposal to change the bylaws. The proposal can be taken up by a state ;arty or caucus.
Margaret asked if there is a state party of caucus who may take up this proposal?
Margaret asked to whom the SC response should go. Darryl! stated it should go to whomever sent the SC the proposal. Craig noted that it had been re-sent from the campaign, and recommended to “reply all.”
For an understanding of the issues raised and reasons why SC members did not believe it appropriate for such a proposal to come from the SC, please listen to the recording:
