Background

The size of the delegation, the infrequency of
the meeting dates, and the often lengthy agendas require a proficient
Facilitator to aid the CC in smooth meeting process.

In the past, the GPUS has relied on different methods including
appointed facilitators and relying on SC members present in the room to
facilitate. A pre-approved Facilitator in whom the CC has expressed
confidence would alleviate the need to rely on SC members by default,
and validate the authority of the CC over their own meetings.

Proposal

All face to face meetings of the Coordinating Committee of the
Green National Committee will be facilitated by a person or persons who
have been approved by the Coordinating Committee of the Green National
Committee.

Names should be submitted to the ANMC no less than two months prior to
the meeting date. Committees, Caucuses, and State Parties will send
names and qualifications of recommended facilitators to the ANMC. It is
encouraged that Committees, Caucuses and States consider the
qualifications such as experience and familiarity with the Green
Consensus process. No candidate who is registered with another party
other than Greens, where Green registration is available, will be
considered. The ANMC will make the names of eligible candidates
available to the CC within a week following the two month deadline.

The Steering Committee will schedule a vote by the CC for approval of
individual facilitators. No Facilitator who failed to receive at least
50%+1 of the approval vote will be permitted to facilitate the CC meetings.

Facilitators with the highest approval ratings will be given preference
when assigning facilitators. The ANMC will strive to schedule two
facilitators for any given time period to ensure backup if needed.
Gender balance is strongly encouraged. The ANMC will notify the CC of
the facilitation schedule no later than two weeks before the national
meeting.
