These are good points from Anne. I believe they are each separate issues to be looked at independently. It is too hard to lump things into one big mess and try to come out with a general consensus, especially when these are separate responsibilities. Please consider: * One CC, one vote is the first, or not? - regardless of your own thoughts, it is an independent issue. * Co-CC, one vote or 2 (or 3 or 5....).? "Co" means combined and "cooperative" here, as it does with other leadership positions. Co chair people act as one person. It is the work of one person, whether there are 2 or 1000 people contributing to that one person's work, it is still one person , one coordinator. How the one vote delegated to that one person is handled should be decided between the people who make up the work of that person, since any combination of people is possible. So if S.W. Winky has 4 counties to coordinate, and two of those counties have co- coordinators, there is still one vote under Winky. This S.W. is responsible for coordinating how that vote is decided. These folks have decided on all working as one, then they decide on their own as to how that one will vote. This type of autonomy is important in independent cooperative efforts, especially on a county level. I suggest one vote per person, with the combined leadership of that one vote deciding on it's own as to how to cast that one vote. In the matter of one person and several counties, it is the same. That person(s) is in leadership of those volunteers working as him or her. That person will coordinate how the one vote is decided, and cast that vote accordingly. It is part of the county "coordinator"s' job. This responsibility to lead goes with the territory.
