I've fixed up the spacing and incorporated the latest updates I received this morning. Attached as a word document. The second attachment is the Texas election results. It's now less than an hour before Robert's printing deadline, so this will probably have to be the final version for that, but we can incorporate additional information and corrections before the meeting which I (and/or John if he's there) will have to distribute ourselves.

Proposed Agenda
by Geoffrey Neale 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

My apologies: Personal circumstances have kept me away from sufficient attention to my duties related to the upcoming meeting. The agenda is in process, but is not yet complete. I will send it out shortly. Please also take note that I intend to bring an additional agenda to DC intended to replace the proposed agenda as dictated by the Policy Manual. The primary deliverable we must come out of this meeting with is the 2013 budget. As such, I do not want to defer budget item consideration because the Policy Manual specifies the regional reports are to be handled first. I think we owe it to our members to prioritize our meeting towards this end. Therefore, I want to address all items with budget implications before status reports. I ask for your assistance by providing me with budget considerations. I do not need budget numbers. I would like to know if there are things you feel we need to address that will cost money. This is especially targeted towards any and all committee chairs. Geoffrey Neale

Motion for November LNC meeting - filling vacancies
by Rich Tomasso 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

I'm making a motion with prior notice for inclusion in the agenda for the Nov LNC meeting. We said we'd resolve this at or before the coming LNC meeting. It's essentially our process for the current vacancy, based on earlier motion. I added to voting and notifications, based on my observations and comments from members. (I apologize for not having this put together in reasonable time for a mail ballot before the meeting.) ~Rich T. Region 5N - - - I move that the following be added to the Policy Manual as a new section under Article I: Filling At-Large Vacancies on the LNC. In the event of a vacancy in one or more At-Large positions, the following procedure shall be used to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the term. 1. Notice of the vacancy shall be given via e-mail to all sustaining members and the state chairs, informing of the vacancy, the procedure to apply for consideration, and the qualifications to meet eligibility. If time permits, based on the judgment of the editor, notice of the vacancy shall also be published in LP News and on the LP website. 2. Notice must be given at least 30 days prior to the LNC meeting at which the vacancy will be filled, and no vacancy can be filled without this notice being given. 3. Filling At-Large vacancies on the LNC shall be conducted as part of the credentials report agenda item. 4. Applications must be received by the Secretary at least 14 days prior to the LNC meeting at which the vacancy is filled. Applications shall consist of the member's contact information, a brief statement of their desire and ability to serve, and up to one page of any supporting information they wish to submit. 5. Any applying member that meets the qualifications for the office as stated in the Bylaws on the date of their application will be considered a candidate by the LNC. Staff will verify if applicants are eligible to serve. 6. The Secretary will distribute the list of candidates and their applications to the LNC at least seven days prior to the LNC meeting at which the vacancy will be filled. 7. Additional nominations may be made by any LNC member on behalf of a qualified party member at the LNC meeting at which the vacancy will be filled. 8. All LNC members and alternates may apply for the vacancy, but they must follow this same procedure in order to be considered. 9. After nominations are closed, candidates attending the LNC meeting at which the vacancy will be filled shall be given two minutes to address the LNC prior to the election. 10. If there are more than four candidates for the At-Large vacancy, the first round of the election shall use approval voting. Any candidate with votes on at least half the ballots will advance to the next round of the election. (For example, if 15 LNC members are voting, any candidate receiving at least 8 votes advances to the next round.) 11. If more than one At-Large vacancy is being filled, the final round of voting shall use a method of ranked results, except in cases where a subsequent ballot is required to break a tie. In those cases, the subsequent ballot shall only include the candidates that represent the tie and each LNC member shall vote for one or none. The vacancies shall be filled by the candidates receiving the highest ranking of votes in order. 12. All votes by the LNC to fill vacancies shall be recorded. 13. The newly elected LNC member(s) shall take office immediately after the vote has been recorded and their presence shall be noted in the credentials report.
