An important clarification . . . (none / 0) (#1)

. . . was pointed out to me by a friend who sits on the Policy Committee.

Each of the section of the proposed rules change was a separate vote in-committee.
On the first bullet point in my original article, the filing deadline and the source of the form were separate votes. The committee voted (nearly unanimously) to be the source of the Affidavit of Candidacy. Normally, this is done by the State Party Chair, but Schostak made such a stink out of it during discussion that the committee approved the change just to tweak his shorts.
On the second bullet point in my original article, the committee voted (nearly unanimously) to strike the "non-incumbent" clause. That means that, should Snyder win re-nomination next year, he still has to submit Calley's name in writing by the August 15th deadline in order to have him properly considered by the convention delegation. (That assumes that Calley isn't foresighted enough to file his own paperwork in May.)
Item "D" of the proposed change was struck in its entirety, by a unanimous vote if I remember correctly. The opinion of the Policy Committee is that a vacancy of this nature ought to be filled by a floor nomination at convention; that's what the delegation is there for.

For what my opinion is worth, this makes the implications of that countdown clock in the upper left corner (and its relation to this clock) all that more interesting.
