Background

There have been some differences in the NC as to the appropriate formula for delegate apportionment for the GPUS Nominating Convention. Five proposals have been presented by various sponsors. The SC has decided to present them all for an IRV vote. Each proposal has a link to the full proposal text. The caveat is that the winning proposal must have a 2/3 majority but neither the Voting Page nor IRV allow for determining for the % majority. So the proposal that gains a majority of this IRV vote will then be submitted to another vote to gain 2/3 majority approval by the NC.

Candidate Information

Delegate Apportionment -- GA
Last Spring, the Steering Committee directed the Committee on Bylaws, Rules, Policies and Procedures to report out proposed rules to govern the Presidential Nominating Convention. The Committee took on that task and spent most of the Spring considering a document built from the rules adopted to govern the 2000 and the 2004 Conventions. Those previous documents had been sunset, requiring the adoption of a whole new set of rules. After reviewing and amending those models for several weeks, the Bylaws Committee reported out its recommendation on a 12-1 vote.

The Georgia Green Party has introduced this paper not to shortcut the deliberations on the Bylaws Committee, but to facilitate the consideration of that work within a timeframe which some on the National Committee have demanded.

It is the intention of the Georgia Green Party to offer as a substitute to this paper, prior to any vote of the National Committee on its adoption, such language as may be put to a vote of the Bylaws Committee, so that the National Committee has the opportunity to consider the perspective of the fifteen states who have named members to that Committee.

Delegate Apportionment -- GPVA
This proposal is based directly on the results of the previous efforts to achieve a broad consensus for apportionment to the GNC.
Except for minor adjustments to address newly approved convention rules and attendance projections suggested by the ANMC, results are identical to percentages of GNC representation.

Delegate Apportionment -- GPWA
This proposal was developed, with minor amendments, from a proposal for convention apportionment approved by all the members of the original DAC who remained to the end of the committee's work.

This proposal brings back the formula voted on in the narrowly defeated proposal 324 to a second vote, with a single amendment. Now included is a size cap, limiting any statewide delegation to 21% of the total national delegation.

Delegate Apportionment -- MN, PA
With the recent defeat of proposal 324 by only six votes and facing the prospect that of a delegate apportionment proposal which was not in the spirit of One Green, One Vote, delegates who voted "no" should be given another opportunity to affirm their support for One Green, One Vote. Therefore, we are resubmitting this delegate apportionment plan for the GPUS nominating convention.

This proposal was developed, with minor amendments, from a proposal for convention apportionment approved by all the members of the original DAC who remained to the end of the committee's work.

Delegate Apportionment -- WV Mountain Party
This proposal is based directly on the results of the previous efforts to achieve a broad consensus for apportionment to the GNC. Except for minor adjustments to address newly approved convention rules, minimum thresholds and attendance projections suggested by the ANMC, results are identical to percentages of GNC representation.
