  1. DAC REPORT ON NEGOTIATIONS Committee members have negotiated toward a fair balance between membership representation, other measures of Green Party strength, fair inclusion of “small” states and those with bad ballot access laws, and incentives for party-building. Currently, there are 2 versions being considered, which are identical except for one number. Each is acceptable to all but 2 members. We are continuing to negotiate and are all hopeful to achieve a full consensus.

  2. PROPORTIONALITY Apportionment in both versions is proportional to 4 categories: 1. Membership numbers 2. “Campaign Strength” (Green candidates or elected Greens, with population as a backup for bad ballot access laws*) 3. “State Voting Strength” (Votes received by Green candidates, with population as a backup*) 4. “Presidential Voting Strength” (Votes received by Green Party presidential nominee 2004 or 2000) * Population can only be used once.

  3. OTHER PROVISIONS Sunsets in 2010, with a new DAC elected to revisit, evaluate success, and bring a new proposal. Both formula and recalculation have to be approved by 2/3 vote by NC. Recalculated every 2 or 4 years (not decided yet) Minimum state delegation = 2 delegates and 2 votes, with restricted proxies allowed for states which cannot fill their delegation vote. Increase NC size to 200 Fractional voting – states can split their votes into 1/2 vote increments in order to better represent their membership. Caucuses 1 vote

  4. STILL ON THE TABLE Multiplier on population (1/2 or full). Minimum delegation vote (1 or 2) Proxies
