hi.

[Badger]

[Lief 🗽]

We need a candidate in the Northeast!

[Ban my account ffs!]

The official language of the JCP is Dutch, not gobbledygook, Kalwejt.

[Oakvale]

Ahoy there!

That's it. I'm leaving!

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?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

If Snowguy wants to be MW chair, I'm 100% behind him.

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?

[Oakvale]

I'd be happy to be Pacific Chair.

I'd also do Whip again if no-one else wants it, although I think Kalwejt would do a great job if he was interested.

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.

[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!

[Lief 🗽]

I nominate Comrade bgwah for Chairman of the Party.

I nominate Comrade bgwah for Chairman of the Party.

I second, comrade.

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.

I feel like I should step up and run for one of the party offices, but the GM's role has my hands more than full so it would probably be a bad idea.

I suggested the role of Secretary for the duties of organizing convention agendas with the Chair, PMing invitations to JCP voters to come to the convention, and maybe eventually producing a monthly "mini-newsletter" (e.g. interview of JCP member of the month, summary of good things the party passed, elections won, stupid things said/passed by right wingers ) to be sent directly to JCP members. A tad ambitious there I admit. Plus helping out the Whip when his hands were full (and vice-versa). And also whatever else the Secretary got a wild hair to add to their job description. I'd like to see it continue if possible, but if there are no candidates....

I'm perfectly OK with Kal being Secretary as bgwah has suggested. If party rules forbid it right now and no one else wants to step up in the meantime, I'm equally OK with nominating Kal to take the job starting his first day of eligibility under the bylaws, even if that's after the convention ends.

[bgwah]

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