MOTION - Meet at the free Las Vegas office space being offered by Brett Pojunis
by Starchild 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Brett, Free (saving LP members' money for more important stuff) is excellent! Not having heard of any other free spaces being discussed in the context of our summer meeting, I make the following motion and invite co-sponsors: MOVED that we hold our July 14-15, 2013, Libertarian National Committee meeting at the office space in the Las Vegas area being made available to us at no cost by regional rep. Brett Pojunis. Love & Liberty, ((( starchild ))) At-Large Representative, Libertarian National Committee On Feb 19, 2013, at 11:25 AM, Brett H.

Informal report from the Chair
by Geoffrey Neale 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

I wanted to let the LNC know of a few things I am working on. Tomorrow I will be in Orange County to meet with Jim Gray and some potential major donors from the entertainment industry, to talk about how we can work together. I will let you know later how things went, but I must tell you that in the potential conflicts between disclosure of my activities, and the confidentiality of donors and members, that I will need to be circumspect. By the way, no one else is invited or allowed - I am a guest, and this is NOT an LNC meeting. Some time ago, Sam Goldstein raised questions regarding our renewal procedures, and after investigating, I determined that we have renewal practices (what we do), but not procedures (documentation of what we're supposed to do). Since that time, I have been directing staff to create an inventory of our formally documented procedures, and all undocumented processes. We are still in the discovery phase of this project, and I am requesting more information before we move into the planning and implementation phase. At this time, I have no expectations for when we will have a complete set of internal procedures. That will be estimated once we have a better understanding of the scope of the effort, and the resources we are able to direct to this effort without negatively affecting daily LPHQ workloads. I intend to have a "master plan" produced by the time of the LNC meeting. What I will say is that we have many opportunities for improving our procedure documentation. Multiple players are now involved in the service level agreement project, including LSLA members, staff, etc. We are still in the information gathering phase, but the intention is to have an agreement that can be supported and endorsed by the LSLA at their annual meeting in May. Progress has been made on the other three "projects" I asked for permission for (Legal Offense, libertarian angels, and UmightB). None of these is ready for prime time. Geoffrey Neale

The next ballot for Secretary
by Geoffrey Neale 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Mr. Secretary: On Thursday 2/7/2013 at 3:56PM Eastern, I received notification of the results of the first ballot. At that time you wrote: "Please note also that I shall be on the road for the next two days; during that time my access to the Internet will be limited. If I receive your authorization to distribute a second ballot before I depart, I shall do so before departing. If not, I shall not be able to distribute a second ballot until Saturday evening." I responded to this email at 4:44PM Eastern on the same day, authorizing the next ballot with Blau, Mattson and Moulton. Given that I responded within one hour, but that obviously was not quick enough, in the future I think it would be helpful if you communicated a more specific time, rather than the statement "before I depart". Additionally, it is now Sunday around noon. Can you please communicate to this body when we can expect the next ballot? I am getting weary of responding to individual LNC members questioning why we have not proceeded to another vote. If I have somehow failed to adequately communicate my authorization, please enlighten me to my shortcoming so we can proceed. Geoffrey Neale
