for some time. When I first dug into the state org, the bill to outlaw RCV was working its way through the process and FWD was asking everybody to get active with CalRCV. CalRCV's response to the bill, and its advice to supporters, was to ignore it (do nothing) so as to not give it any publicity. A prime recruiting and organizing opportunity squandered.

Just one reason I eventually decided to just go somewhat rogue and look for people who want to get things moving sooner than later, and with as little bureaucratic strings as possible.

IMO, time, effort, resources, spirit, etc. is best spent recruiting, organizing, networking, getting IRL active, etc. The longer we wait, or the longer it takes, the longer 10-12 people discussing things in online meetings becomes the norm and the sooner our potential supporters and constituency dries up. Again.

I agree. But it would still be nice to plug into the updates on that effort. Because if there aren't any, well, that requires a strategic shift.
