I have written Ron and asked him to fix the subscribe link. Thanks for pointing it out.

I hope that the plans are to make this committee representative of various green party voices across the city and not just a dictatorship of one.

Please get your “subscribe to green party watch” link working as soon as you can…

Thanks for all the helpful pointers. The Green Party has been active in NYC for over 15 years, and has run candidates at all levels. We have 4 candidates for City Council this year, and a great candidate for Mayor – Rev. Billy Talen, http://www.voterevbilly.org/. Check out the link in my name for more info on the Council candidates.

We’ve held many meetings as Region 2 of the Green Party of New York State. This meeting is to further establish mechanisms whereby we can communicate more efficiently in this very large, both in population and in geographic size.

You need to limit all speakers to 2 minutes.

Too many faux party members come to such meetings and filabuster. Talking too long by any single person prevents necessary business, like identifying, nominating, and running candidates from getting done.

If you aren’t putting Green Party candidates on the ballot you are NOT a real political party.

You are discussion group. The two are very different things, my Green friends.

First you need Green Party candidates on the ballot in all 5 parts of the city.

If you are going to create a city Green Party you need a Chair, a vice chair, an agenda.

You need to elect the Chair.

You need to nominate by simple majority.

You need to operate under Robert’s Rules of Order.

Good luck!
