Background

The Steering Committee is nominating two Honorary Co-Chairs for the upcoming Presidential Nominating Convention. They are the gender-balanced team of David Cobb and Colia Clark. They will be confirmed in 2 separate proposals. As you can see below, they are more than "honorary." They have important roles. This proposal is for confirmation of Colia Clark, our US Senate candidate from New York. See http://www.coliaclark.org/

The Convention Rules state:
"Section 5-2 Honorary Co-Chairs

5-2.1 Gender-balanced, Honorary Co-Chairs shall be nominated by the Steering Committee of the Green Party of the United States, and submitted for confirmation by the Green National Committee at least 60 days prior to the Convention. If the Honorary Co-Chairs nominated by the Steering Committee are not approved, then the Steering Committee shall continue to submit nominations to the Green National Committee until they are approved.

5-2.2 Any person nominated as an Honorary Co-Chair must not be employed by, serve in any official capacity in the campaign of, nor officially endorse any of the Presidential candidates whose names are placed before Convention.

5-2.3 Any person nominated as an Honorary Co-Chair should be one who represents Green Party ideals, goals and practices; and who may be a Green elected or appointed official to public office; or who may be a spokesperson within their state or local Green Parties; and who may have made significant achievements in the advancement of Green politics; or who may represent an important constituency in the Green movement; or whose presence otherwise positively and significantly recommends the Green Party.

5-2.4 During the Convention, the Honorary Co-Chairs shall be responsible for opening the Convention and playing a 'Masters of Ceremonies' role in the proceedings. Before the Convention, the Honorary Co-Chairs shall serve as Media Spokespeople and participate in the promotion of the Convention."
