This is not a hard fast rule and will certainly be reconsidered in the future.
Given our small size we determined to allow all members of the Mpls. local to
participate in decisions this year. While I think it worked well this year I
hope it will be carefully reviewed as we continue to grow. One step --even
before we discuss using elected representative delegates -- will likely be
letting only members within a ward (or a legislative district) make the
endorsement.
