DNC 2015 Winter Meeting ...next
> |
Feb. 19, 2015 - The DNC Office
of Party Affairs and Delegate Selection (PADS) held a workshop on
delegate selection which drew a large crowd. State parties are in
the midst of drafting and adopting their delegate selection
plans. The parties must put their plans through a 30-day public
comment period before they are adopted. They must be submitted to
the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee by May 4; the RBC will review the
plans and make sure they comply. |
Attendees picked up: - Delegate Selection Timetable (+) - Equal Division - Bonus Delegates - Increasing Participation In the Delegate Selection Process - 20 Tips For a Successful Delegate Selection Process - Appendix B Delegate / Alternate Allocation - Packet of Sample Exhibits, Attachments and Press Releases |
Rev. Regena Thomas, DNC director
of community engagement; Lorainne Miller, co-chair of the Rules and
Bylaws Committee; Patrice Taylor, director of PADS; Rick Boylan,
advisor to PADS; and Alecia Dyer, PADS special assistant. |
States parties can get
additional delegates for holding the first determining step of their
delegate selection processes later on and for clustering with
neighboring states to hold their contests on the same day. These
incentives are designed to encourage a more rationale primary calendar. |
The March 2 deadline for
appointing an Affirmative Action Committee is fast approaching. |
Not everyone can be a delegate
or alternate,
but there are other roles people can play including serving as members
of the
three standing committees. |
