Background

Background: GPUS Rules and Procedures, Article I, Chapter IV, Section 3, reads: ."3. An accredited state party which has failed to cast votes for a period of six months, or has not sent delegates to two consecutive meetings of the National Committee, may be assigned to temporary inactive status, upon recommendation of the Accreditation Committee and majority vote of the National Committee. Parties assigned to temporary inactive status will retain GREEN PARTY accreditation and, insofar as possible, will continue to receive NC correspondence; but shall not be counted toward the NC quorum."

Several state parties that are accredited members of the GPUS have failed to participate with GPUS for extended periods of time. Because the NC voting quorum requirements are based on the number of active states voting, having non voting states listed as active can help make the passage of some proposals before the National Committee very difficult.

The Green Party of Oklahoma has not participated in an online NC vote for over 6 months, nor have they sent delegates to either of the last two annual meetings of the NC.

Proposal

The Green Party of Oklahoma is assigned to temporary inactive status, but will retain GPUS accreditation.
