Dear Max,
As you are aware, Wales Green Party Council held a telephone conference on
Thursday 23rd May specifically to discuss the issue of WGPC emails
being forwarded to a non Green Party member.
It was felt by all members present at the meeting that, given the
circumstances, you are the person most likely to have been responsible.
It was noted that you have previously been involved in many campaigning
organisations and have also been a member of another political party, so it is
inconceivable that you would not have been aware of the normal protocols adopted
by most similar organisations regarding the confidentiality of communications
between members.
You are also aware that non party members are not allowed to attend WGPC
meetings, unless specifically invited, and the minutes of such meetings are only
made available to party members. By implication, Green Party business is not for
public consumption.
We believe that you were fully aware of the seriousness of your actions,
especially given that the person to whom you were forwarding emails was a former
member who had been expelled for misconduct.
We believe that your actions were not taken to further the cause of the Green
Party but were, instead, intended to cause mischief within WGP and to divert
attention away from the more productive activities we would rather be
undertaking.
Your position on Wales Green Party Council is, therefore, untenable. At the
telephone conference on 23rd May 2013 it was unanimously agreed by the members
present to suspend you from your position as WGP Campaigns Coordinator. You will
be removed from all WGPC email lists and members will be informed of the
situation in due course.
It was also noted at the telephone conference that you have not fulfilled any of
the actions you promised to do shortly after being elected. For example, you
intended to set up a "Campaigns Committee" but no attempt to achieve this has
been made. You also requested funds for campaign leaflets, which was agreed by
WGPC, but no leaflets have so far materialised.
As with my previous correspondence with you regarding your suspension from your
post as Member's Newsletter Editor, please ensure you destroy your copy of the
members database. I would again remind you that, under the Data Protection Act
1998 and Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, continued use
of the membership list would be a criminal offence.
Regards,
Ann Were
General Secretary
Wales Green Party
Ann Were.
