Conference
Call of the Coordinated Campaign Committee
Attendance:
Susan King (CA)(facilitator), Jeff Cropp (OR)(notetaker), Gray
Newman (NC), Adrianna Buonarroti (MI), Roy Williams (TX), Masada
Disenhouse (NY), Juscha Robinson (WI). Missing: Tom Sevigny (CT),
Mike Livingston (MD), Dan Kinney (PA).
The
CCC approved minutes from the 12/21/03 call with no changes.
Officeholders
proposal: Still no resolution - talks about the requested
amendment are ongoing. There has been a proposal for a test period
until the Milwaukee Convention in June. Several individuals are
not satisfied with the proposal. Juscha will speak personally with
Mike Feinstein and Kevin McKeown. She will then try to set up a
conference call between several members of the CCC and members of
the Officeholders Network to resolve the situation.
Strategic
Planning: Primary issue remaining on this involves CCC members
signing up for specific tasks from the Strategic Planning document
compiled by Masada. She also drafted an Excel spreadsheet
containing the task lists to make it easier for members to choose
items to work on. Jeff will re-send that Excel spreadsheet to the
listserve after he finishes typing the minutes.
Committee
rules: Tom drafted a good first version, which seemed to be
adapted primarily from the committee's bylaws. Juscha expressed
concern that she would like to see the rules defined more
specifically. She recommends people send feedback to Tom so that
he can develop a revised version for review.
Budget:
Budget request has been cut even more in an attempt to be
conservative about 2004 expenditures. There was no discussion
period for committees and the budget request was sent directly to
the Coordinating Committee. The budget process should be wrapped
up by February 1. The Political Director expenses are non-
discretionary and will not be cut unless the Party as a whole has
insufficient revenue.
The
CCC will have a budget of $3,000 for the first quarter, and will
hopefully maintain that for each quarter for a total of $12,000).
This is not much less than the previous request, but will
complicate the matching fund program.
Proposed
CCC budget for 1st Quarter 2004:
Internet: $90
Phone: $160
Photocopying: $100
Chesapeake Campaign School: $300
Ballot Access Working Group: $1000
Matching Funds: $1350
Resource
Subcommittee: Still working to revise rules and application for
resource allocation/matching funds. Working to get feedback from
previous campaigns. The CCC should be able to finalize the rules
and application on the next conference call.
Campaign
Schools:
Chesapeake - Coming together well. Mike still working on fiscal
agent. Prairie - Coming along. Expecting 60-80 Greens in
attendance. Los Angeles - Will be held in late spring (April).
California GP is self-sufficient, so there will be no request for
funds from the CCC.
Manoverde:
Tabled until Tom can provide an update.
Presidential Campaign Support Committee: Susan is official
representative from the CCC and Tom will try to be involved
through Ballot Access Working Group. Committee co-chairs are not
automatically included, so Juscha will not be involved.
12/8/03
Minutes: The minutes were re-approved by the CCC after a specific
addition was requested by Juscha.
Call
length: Susan proposed that we officially shorten CCC conference
calls from two hours to 1-1/2 hours, since calls have not been
taking the full time recently. Masada suggested that CCC members
are not taking on as much work as we should be, and calls would
indeed take the full time if we sign up for the remaining tasks
from the Strategic Planning list.
Hiring
update: The CCC moved into Executive Session for this discussion.
