DOCUMENTATION in the CASE AGAINST MAX WALLIS

DOCUMENTATION in the CASE AGAINST MAX WALLIS

Date	Document	Points of interest
[Item 1] 17.11.12	Minutes of 2012 AGM	Max Wallis elected unopposed to two portfolios. Final paragraph gives the reason for calling a special conference in Spring 2013.
[Item 2] 9.3.13	Max Wallis’ first newsletter	First item: Notification of a Special Conference primarily to consider the Party name in Wales. GPRC secret court puts activists on trial, giving them no chance to defend themselves or appeal…. and on for another page. This covers GPRC activities in a very biased light, giving as a reference a socialist unity blog.
[Item 3]	Word document – blog reprint	This is the whole of the blog Max was asking Wales Green Party members to consult in the newsletter.
[Item4] 9.3.13	John Matthew’s e-mail	First brief reaction of a WGPC member to the newsletter.
[Item 5] 11.3.13	Pippa Bartolotti’s e-mail	A more expanded reaction.
[Item 6] 12.3.13	Ann Were’s e-mail	A follow-up to the first two e-mails with a suggestion that Max should resign.
[Item 7] 22.3.13	Chris Simpson’ e-mail	My (belated) reply as GPRC rep
[Item 8] 4.4.13	Max Wallis’ e-mail	This is a long string which gives you most of what had been said around the issue – but it is rather hard to wade through it all.
[Item 9] 15.4.14	Ann Were’s e-mail	I was trying to be devil’s advocate and this is Ann’s reply which also gives some more background.
[Item 10] 5.5.2013	Max Wallis’ second newsletter	First item. Note how the “main purpose” of the conference has changed since the first newsletter. Max uses his position as newsletter editor to give an extremely biased view. After “Damning report on Euro-list selection in London: 29th April”, see “Editor’s Note” where Max “make no apologies for editorial decisions within the remit laid down for the post”, i.e. he does not accept that he in any way misused his position as editor when compiling his first newsletter. Following item: Letter to the Editor questions to Pippa Bartolotti. The postal votes were being mailed out to members (I received mine on the 7th May) and this unsigned item appears in an e-mail sent out to all members a couple of days previously. It is quite clearly designed to disadvantage one candidate.
[Item 11] 10.5.13	John Evans’ e-mail	Wales EERO informing us that he has suspended the selection process for the Wales Euro-list.
[Item 12] 11.5.13	Minutes of WGPC meeting	First item – the discussion about suspending Max Wallis from his editorship of the Wales area newsletter.
[Item 13] 22.5.13	John Evans’ e-mail	The EERO informs us that he has consulted within the party, and is resuming the selection process on the basis that nobody can undo the damage that has been done – but hopefully not many people will actually have been influenced by Max Wallis’ newsletter coverage.
