Background

The National Committee Listserv Protocol for Delegates' Discussion and Votes Lists (Proposal #186) was adopted by the GPUS National Committee on November 13, 2005.

Esther Choi, Green Party of Texas; Jim Weill, Green Party of California; Kai Schwandes, Green Party of North Carolina; and Jane Hunter, Green Party of New Jersey, have volunteered their services in this capacity, and have been approved by the GPUS Steering Committee. They have agreed that Jim Weill, Kai Schwandes and Esther Choi will serve as Forum Managers, and Jane Hunter will be the Alternate.

Although bios have not been included in previous Forum manager approval votes, it was thought delegates might like to know a little about each of the volunteers, so bios are provided for each:
