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

    (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.
