Sorry I missed the meeting yesterday so some silly questions for you:

1) What are the dates?

2) What is the hotel you guys are doing everything at?

3) Are the speakers confirmed?

4) What is free space?

Sorry for the email _ i am on a plane.

Thanks.

No need for that, let's definitely talk when you're back.  Totally understand where you're coming from, for this mtg with the add-ons of the "interested parties" we just don't have the time unless we go a full day Saturday (and I do mean a full day).  I'm
not sure Members will stay that long especially with the general sessions going on Friday. However, like I said, I'm open to suggestions.

Also, this is what we've had to do at all the cattle-call mtgs from the past- all caucuses and councils have gotten an hour to accommodate the 2 general sessions and candidate open houses.

For what it's worth, we had to short the Executive Committee mtg as well.  And for this mtg we had to fit in 2 additional standing committee mtgs than we had at the winter mtg.

Totally object to Caucus & Council mtgs being limited. It is amazing when there is an issue Caucus & Council are the first to get hit without prior conversation w/Team CE of their tentative agenda.

I am currently in KY catching hell because the R's have fielded an AfAm lt gov candidate & the D's are running from anything Obama. The need to take serious the roll of constituencies must start at the DNC. Yes, I have an attitude!

Hi everyone,

Following up from this morning’s senior staff mtg, I wanted to circulate a copy of the draft schedule.  This is far from final—just an initial draft at this point.  Please take a look and let me know if you see any large conflicts.  PLEASE
DO NOT SHARE OUTISDE OF THE DNC at this point.

A couple of things to keep in mind regarding the schedule as a reminder:

·
Given that we had to find an additional 3hrs in the schedule to accommodate an extra general session and a meet the campaign managers “free space”, all Caucus and Council meetings will be limited to 1 hr.  It’d be great for
those of you who have staff who work with those Chairs to start preparing them for that eventuality now.

·
All of the standing committee meetings will be on Thursday (with Executive Committee happening Friday morning).  This means a good deal of the Members will be arriving Tuesday evening/Weds morning to help accommodate that
which is earlier than usual.  Because those meetings in particular have to happen prior to the General Session, there’s no way to really avoid that.

·
The General Sessions will happen on Friday due to the Hurricane Katrina anniversary being on Saturday. This unfortunately means several of the Council meetings will have to happen on Saturday.  I’m not partial on which Council
(or Caucus mtgs) happen on Saturday, so I’m open to suggestions if anyone has any.

·
In the coming weeks, we’ll need to start discussions regarding meeting thematics, potential invited speakers and speaking opportunities, and theme—but it’d be great if we could get the schedule set prior to then.

·
Lastly, please send me your potential staffing list (in terms of staff you’re proposing to attend the meeting) by Friday, June 5th.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Julie
