Consens QuorumA Majority of Yes and No Votes

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 Desert Greens have not participated in an online NC vote

since Oct. 2009 , nor have they sent delegates to either of the last two

annual meetings of the NC.

Proposal

Desert Greens of Utah is assigned to temporary inactive status, but

will retain GPUS accreditation.

TIMELINE

This will take effect immediately upon passage, and the Secretary will be

directed to make such changes as needed to put this into effect.
