JCP Convention, February 2011 (voting now!)

[bgwah]

hi.

[bgwah]

Let's figure out who our party officials are. Whip and Secretary are both vacant, as are Pacific and MW Chairmen.

I'll run for re-election as Chair (surprise! ). Fritz, will you run for Vice Chair?

Ebowed or Oakvale could maybe be the Pacific Chair. Snowguy or Kalwejt could be MW? Does Oakvale want whip back? Anyone wanna be Secterary?

[bgwah]

This it the JCP convention. We speak English. Learn it.

I will run again for Northeast Chair. Though this will be a hard campaign cycle for us in my region, it's important that we build on the successes of the past few months and hold on to the Northeast Senate seat.

Any recommendations for a candidate?

[bgwah]

Uh well, okay, hmm, since I suppose we use nominations:

I nominate:
Fritz for Vice Chair
Oakvale for Whip
Kalwejt for Secretary** (might not have been a member long enough, will have to check)
Ebowed for Pacific Chair
Snowguy for MW Chair
Lief for NE Chair
Badger for ME Chair
and BK for SE Chair

...and someone should totally nominate me for chaiman!

[bgwah]

I think Kalwejt would do a great job if he was interested.

Question is, and must be asked, should the one who returned just recently instantly become a member of leadership?

I think I should win your trust again first.

That's kind, but you've got mine already.

Well, one has to be a member of the party for 30 days first according to the bylaws, so that is probably the main issue.

We could always just abolish the office of Secretary if nobody wants to do it, lol.

[bgwah]

Do we have any ideas for a NE candidate? I think Eraserhead proved the region isn't as hopelessly conservative as we once thought.

[bgwah]

I think our party needs a symbol. How about something simple. Like a star. A green star! Yes.

[bgwah]

I meant to open this yesterday. Sorry. I want to close the endorsement voting in 24 hours in order to legally inform Franzl of our non-JCP endorsements (presumably HappyWarrior) if nobody objects. Otherwise I can keep it going the usual 48 hours.

We should probably close the endorsements given that the election isn't exactly far off.

It looks like it's too late regardless, but I suppose we'll see if Franzl cares.

[bgwah]

All of the unopposed party officials, won of course. I would like to appoint Kalwejt as Secretary, assuming he's still interested.

Might as well discuss the open Senate seat while we're here. If Snowguy wants to stay in the Senate, this might be a good opportunity.

[bgwah]

Well it looks like both our at-large Senators are resigning...
