Sponsor (Name of Working Group or Standing Committee): Coordinating Commitee

Presenter (Name, address, phone number, email): Cat Woods, Michael Rubin

Approval Threshold: Policy Proposal - Approval Threshold 4/5)

Presenters choose to seek a decision on Option A, rather than option B, based upon delegate responses during general discussion of the item.

- Amendment accepted as Friendly - A Nominating Convention has to be part of a regularly planned state meeting and part of the Two Year Work Plan.
- Amendment accepted as Friendly - Have this regularly planned state meeting first attempt to ratify the GPUS presidential ticket. If that ratification failed, then the GPCA ballot line would be decided by an IRV vote.

Proposal (as amended): The GPCA approves its affiliation agreement with the GPUS, with the recognition that the GPCA bylaws stipulate that "No decision of the GPUS is binding on the GPCA without its consent" (Paragraph 11-1.1). A state nominating convention will be held after the national nominating convention to review presidential and vice-presidential nominations made at the national level and to ratify the GPUS ticket. If the GPUS ticket is not ratified, an IRV election will be held, including on the ballot those national Green Party presidential candidates and nominees from the floor who still accept the nomination, to determine the California presidential ballot line. This convention will be planned as part of the 2-year work plan.

Not approved: 23 yes, 22 no, 2 stand-asides (51.1%)
