Election night activities: Juscha and Gray headed up the election
night
activities, with Dan tracking major PA races.
Handling data- Each CCC member is tracking races and updating the
databases
for their states.
Coordinating with media team: Roy and Juscha, as co-chairs, will
liaise
with the media team and take press calls, etc. Mike F will ID
races to
watch, so a template press release can be developed in advance.
Associates: Juscha has sent job descriptions and tasks to the
state
associates. A listserv is being set up for state associates.
For database updates, Mike F urges us to please not go and re
arrange any
data from past elections, and focus on 11/4/03 results only.
Database policy for Green candidates: There will be a final
version for a
formal policy for how we determine who is a Green candidate. We
agreed on
the concept of this policy, to be added to the greens.org website
once
finalized.
Listing candidates who do not qualify? We agreed to remove
candidates if
they announce and fail to make the ballot.
Hiring: Juscha, Adrianna and Gray are the hiring sub committee,
plus two
members of the SC.
We will use the Conflict of Interest policy that we developed. If
the
applicant pool is not large enough, we can determine if we should
proceed
with hiring later.
Resources sub committee report: We discussed the following:
A total of $6,750 was distributed as campaign staff matching funds
to Matt
Gonzalez (CA), Matt Ahearn (NJ), Jean DeSmet (CT), Brita
Butler-Wall (WA),
Tom Hutt (PA), and Heather Urkuski (PA).
We need to get verbal reports from campaigns.
Reviewing the process for the future: we will evaluate this
process for
improvements, including revising the stipulation that funds must
only be
used for staff matching.
Vermont update: VT is seeking status, needs CCC liaison; Dan will
do it
later, after the campaign season winds down.
Hotline update: Hotline promotion will be done in the
upcoming Greensweek;
CCC members signed up to check voicemail on regular basis.
Campaign Schools:
1) Convention school in WI in June: We should definitely plan for
this.
Susan, Roy, Dan, Gray, Masada and Mike will help. We should do
specialized
workshops vs. more general ones.
2) Chesapeake Bay: there is interest in doing a MD, Wash DC are
school
early next year (Jan)
3) Southern California: there will be an LA area training in Jan,
coordinated by state party with CCC/GPUS input.
Strategic Planning: discussion of online CC proposal for strategic
planning. It is a good idea to plan, surveys will be useful, CCC
will be
doing own planning and use the results from the party wide
strategic
planning. Communication is key.
CCC strategic planning process will start after November
elections. Masada
will head effort up.
Mike will take on reviewing the resources subcommittee so Masada
can focus
on strategic planning.
Next month: brief update on strategic plan on 11/9 call; full
discussion by
11/23 , pending Masada's schedule.
CCC replacement: SC is issuing call for candidates, CC will elect.
Presidential coordination: Juscha and Susan have been
participating in
calls, a draft plan has been submitted.
Call adjourned at 11:02 EST. |
