Oops, didn't sign Hugh Gitlin Highland Park (that's in St. Paul;)) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Sent: Tue, 17 May 2005 08:43:51 -0400 Subject: Re: [Mpls] Reducing the number of delegates.
I'm just talking about the city convention. I'm not saying reduce the number of people elected to ward conventions or SD conventions. If you cap the number of delegates at 1000, each ward would send 50-100 delegates to the convention, which is a reasonable number. In addition, most subcaucuses I have been in usually send a mix of old pros and new people up to the next level. That gives a good mix of delegates to the convention. In St. Paul, where there is a 500 delegate cap, plus executive committee and elected officials, we had the room, because there is a finite amount of delegates. In addition, we had an alternate section in the same room. With a limit of 1000 delegates, the convention still could be at Augsburg, with alternates in the room, in the bleachers. REMINDERS: 1.
