SF GREEN PARTY KEY POLICY (As of 4/22/03)

Keys will be issued to chairs of active working groups and those in
trusted leadership positions who have a demonstrated need for access
to the SFGP office.

Any active Green may apply to be a key holder. Decision goes to ad hoc
office committee for approval. Applicants must present a demonstrated
need for access to the office. Any key holder who abuses their
privileges may have their key revoked by the ad hoc office committee
or the CC.

Susan will have the master keys and maintain list of keyholders,
publish contact numbers of key holders for active non-key holders,
serve as liaison to building manager and be the main contact for
access to the office.


All Key holders will be required to:

   1. Sign a form stating they will not duplicate or share keys;

   2. Make their contact info (day, eve phone) avail. to all active
      Greens;

   3. Be on call if a non-key holder has a legitimate need to get into
      the office; "on call" means you are available to let others into
      the office and be there to let the person(s) in, be there during
      the other person's presence and lock up in order to guarantee
      the security of the office.

Use of the SFGP office by other groups:

The SFGP office is a resource that other organizations may seek to
utilize from time to time. This is a good way for us to build and
maintain relations with other progressive organizations and
initiatives.

The SFGP office is the located on the ground floor of an affordable
housing unit run by Mercy Housing. Anyone in the SFGP office has
access to the community room and other public areas within the housing
complex. Most of the residents of this complex are immigrant senior
citizens. It is important for us to maintain good relations with our
co tenants, and for us to be mindful of the security of not only our
own office, but that of the entire building. For this reason, we must
have clear guidelines about who is given access to the SFGP office.

   1) The SFGP will not host any organization or effort that
      contradicts the mission of the SFGP or Green Party's 10 key
      values.

   2) The SFGP office will not be used by any political campaign
      unless this effort has been explicitly endorsed by the General
      Membership or CC.

   3) Any effort using the SFGP office or other resources must advance
      the goals and mission of the SFGP in a tangible way.

   4) Other organizations wishing to use our office must be sponsored
      by an active working group of the SFGP and be working in
      coalition with this WG.

   5) Access to the office will be limited to authorized key holders
      (as listed above) only, and the key holder (ideally the chair of
      the sponsoring WG) must be present for the duration of the
      office use by other organizations.

Active members of the SFGP working on other initiatives outside of the
SFGP working group tasks will be asked to keep their use of the office
and other SFGP resources in line with the policies outlined above.
