Structure and operations
2.a.
State Associates
The
Great Lakes Region Conference call on Friday, August 6th was a
bust. Not one state associate attended. We are going to try again
for the first full week of September. This time Jen and Amy will
do follow-up calls after the email announcement to make sure that
all Great Lakes Region State Associates are aware of the call.
Brent and Jason will start working on a Southern States Call for
after NYC.

CCC webpage
Phone
number contacts will be added for the Co-Chairs on the contact
page for the CCC.
A link
will be added from the new Ballot Status page to the CCC home
page.

Campaign Assistance
3.a.
Resources Subcommittee
There
are 43 applications for consideration. It is the reviewers
responsibility to ask for information that is missing from the
application. We have templates available for budget, campaign
plan, etc. for those who need them. The next CCC Resources
Subcommittee Conference call is scheduled for Sunday, August 22,
at 8:00 PM Central. The full CCC will review the Resource
Subcommittee recommendations on Sunday, August 29th.
Brent
will draft a notice to the State Associates about use of the
Questionnaire by the states. (It is encouraged.)

schedule.

5.
Other
5.a.
Elections database
Currently
at 389 candidates. Brent has been linking election site URL's to
candidates in preparation for Election Night. Juscha suggested
that this is too much work for one person and that it needs to be
broken up into a team.
We are
beginning to develop an Election Night Plan and for shortly
thereafter. In past cycles each CCC volunteer had 10 states they
were responsible for. There were probably 15 state associates
involved. The site crashed in 2002 when several people accessed
the site at the same time. Since then Kendra Markle made
corrections so that won't happen again.
Plan
for run up to Election Night:
1) Get Passwords.
2) Develop team
3) Assign States
On
Election Night at around 11:00 PM to Midnight post results. Then
check for morning straggler results and update. Come back several
days later to post certified results and link with URL if
available. This will be put on the agenda for the next Conference
Call for further development.
