that's great news. and above and beyond the call of duty. mike is a 
wonder. i want him to run for council when you run for mayor. what 
a team!

no worry about no contact from mike. you've kept in touch, and as 
long as one rep does, i'm happy.

now if only doug can make it from summit, we'll have all western 
slope locals there and a majority of locals -- 5 of 8. there might be 
a state meeting after all.

if so, here's a possible draft agenda to tweak as needed. other 
Council reps please weigh in as you think appropriate:

1.  Welcome & Announcements/Ann&Bill/10 min.

>2.. Introductions/All/15 min.

>3.  Facilitation intro/Facilitator/10 min.
>
>4.  Roll call/Facilitator/5 min.
	(I would consider 5 of 8 locals a quorum for most business 
except accepting new locals and bylaw changes, but the group 
should reflect on that after reviewing state bylaws)

(we need 6 of 8 locals represented to consider this item, and 60% 
of those present in favor for it to pass, according to our current 
bylaws)

>7.  Review& Approval of agenda/Facilitator/10 min.
>         a.  times for items
>         b.  breaks
>
>[break?]
>
>8.  Bylaw changes/Facilitator/15 minutes
>         a.  quorum for state meetings/Dave & Art (although neither 
of us will be present, the wording below is the one we've come up 
with. i think 5 of 8 locals present would be sufficient for a quorum to 
make a bylaw change as 6.1 is ambiguous as to that issue 
currrently. it only states that "a 3/5ths vote of members present at 
a state meeting" is needed for a bylaw change. so if 3/5ths of 
those present at montrose agree, with 5 of 8 locals attending, this 
bylaw change could happen. that is my interpretation. davey or 
others should correct me if they think i'm wrong).

proposed bylaw change:

4.1.1. In order for official decisions to be made at a state meeting, a
quorum of at least 51% of local chapters must be represented, with 
a minimum number of voting participants (registered in the Green 
Party of Colorado), equal to twice the number of local chapters 
represented.

9. Campaign updates/Facilitator/20 minutes
		A. Nader
		B. Forthofer & Goodtimes

>10.  ASGP/Facilitator/10 minutes.
>         a.  replacement for Stacy

11. State Initiatives/Facilitator/20 minutes

>12.  Evalutation of meeting/Facilitator/10 min.
>
>13.  Closing ceremony/Facilitator/10 min.
