[WCUSP] ?WHY isn't WILPF a member? Re: Fwd: Last Chance to Register On-Line

[KATHARLOW at aol.com]

Dear friends,
 
Excuse me, but why isn't WILPF one of the member organizations with the US  
Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation?  A variety of other groups with  which 
I'm associated are members, but not WILPF.  Why?
 
Love,
Katharina

NEW BUSINESS PROPOSAL ON-LINE



Due to a  technical glitch, we posted a third business proposal to the
website after  the previous email.  You can view all the business
proposals on-line  in the conference documents section of our
conference web page.   Member groups are encouraged to discuss these
proposals before the  conference and empower their voting delegates.

FREE HOUSING NOW AVAILABLE



A special  thanks to the Gabriel Richard Center for providing
conference attendees  with a free place to stay.  The center is
on-campus and has kitchen  and bathroom facilities (no showers).
People staying at the center will be  provided with showers at the
homes of local volunteers.  People  wishing to stay at the center
should bring a sleeping bag.  Check out  the housing board for more
details on this and other housing  opportunities.



STEERING COMMITTEE  NOMINATIONS



The Steering Committee of the US Campaign is the  highest
decision-making body of the coalition between annual  national
conferences.  It is composed of twelve people who serve  three-year
terms in their individual capacities.  This year voting  delegates will
elect four new members of the Steering Committee for  three-year terms
and one to fill the remaining two years of a vacated  position.



The US Campaign is now accepting nominations to the  Steering Committee
and will do so through the first day of the  conference.  Nominees must
be representatives of a member organization  or an individual member of
the US Campaign in good  standing.



To submit a Steering Committee nomination, click  here.



MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS IN GOOD  STANDING



Member organizations in good standing are eligible to  submit business
proposals, receive voting rights, and to run candidates for  the
Steering Committee at the US Campaign conference, in accordance  with
the Organizational Rules.



Organizations in good  standing are those that have paid membership
dues for 2006.   Membership dues for organizations are set at between
$100-$1,000 or more,  depending on the size and budget of the
organization.  The US Campaign  leaves it up to the discretion of the
organization to decide on the level  of its membership dues, but
encourages groups to make the most generous  contribution possible to
help us continue our collective  work.



Thank you to member organizations that have recently  renewed dues or
are in the process of doing so.  Your organization  will be added to
the list of member groups in good standing as soon as the  dues are
