Timely CMD GMs and Ratification for "Official Proposals"
- Introductory Statement
- Clear expectations for timely ratification of CMD official proposals.
- Emergency Motion Statement
- That Continuous Motion Development General Meetings are scheduled at least 3 times a year, or within 2 months of a threshold of 10 official proposals, workshopped on WeDecide and through informal policy discussion meetings. If the General Meeting runs out of time to address all in queue, the remaining will be prioritized in the following Continuous Motion Development General Meeting.
- Type of Emergency Motion
- A directive to ask the party’s Federal Council to consider an action
- Benefit
- We have ran out of time during AGMs to pass workshopped policy and without some defining criteria the CMD proposals may not be ratified in a timely/dependable manner. I've put in a threshold of 10, I think we said 20 minutes max per proposal discussion in the meeting, so that 3 discussed per hour max. Between reaching threshold of 10 and formalizing the meeting, more policies may be finalized as "Official Proposals" so there may be more than 10 in the meeting. This is also to ensure we have regularly scheduled meeting even without a threshold met, and also that the meetings aren't too long; if we have many in queue that we process them sooner. I don't see expected timelines currently addressed: G23-C006 Continuous motion development process for constitution and bylaws

Again maybe what I was seeing in the slideshow is old information that will certainly be changed/updated after this meeting? : https://wedecide.green.ca/pages/proposal-process
General Meeting
The General Meeting is a formal Meeting of Members, where the members gather to make decisions on matter of importance to the Party. During the general meeting, members are the highest decision-making authority in Party governance.
Each Official Proposal is presented to membership for consideration of adoption by the Green Party of Canada.
If applicable, proposal submitters will present friendly amendments for consideration.
Members will discuss, debate, and potentially amend the Official Proposal. Once this process has concluded, a deciding vote to adopt the proposal will be held by all members present at the time of the vote.
If time at the General Meeting runs out before every Official Proposal can be presented, the Official Proposals that were not discussed are sent back to the Workshop on the WeDecide platform so they can continue to be worked on and considered at the next General Meeting.
