record & stream next LNC meeting
by Wes Benedict 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Chairman Sarwark has asked me to make sure the next LNC meeting is recorded and streamed live (sound and video). Staff can make this happen. However, if there is someone on the LNC who can take responsibility for this, that would be nice, and might save on expenses at future meetings that aren't in Alexandria. Quite often I've seen situations where people have offered to video tape or stream something, and then they have been unable to follow through for various reasons, technical and otherwise. Additionally, I've seen good quality, and terrible quality results. For this reason, I'd like to see duplicate streaming of this next meeting in Alexandria so we can compare results and see if one arrangement works significantly better than the other. I'll make sure staff has at least one broadcast running. I'd like to see a member of the LNC streaming a second broadcast. If you're willing to do this, please provide your own camera, software, choose your own broadcast service, etc. We'll make sure an internet connection from the hotel is promised, but if you bring your own 3G/4G service or whatever and it works, that's bonus points to you. Hotel wifi seems to be promised, but tends not to work so well so often. If you give us a link to where you are broadcasting the meeting, we'll embed it or link to it on a blog entry on LP.org. The following are things that I'll be looking for to gauge our success: video quality sound quality How well do the video and sound capture all meeting participants? How often does the broadcast stop working? Was the setup ready and working at the start of the meeting and did it cover the entire meeting? How simple is the setup? We might be doing these at every meeting. Do you blame the hotel for poor quality results, or can you get a quality broadcast out in spite of a hotel? Anybody want to step and take this one? -- Wes Benedict, Executive Director Libertarian National Committee, Inc. *New address: 1444 Duke St., Alexandria, VA 22314* (202) 333-0008 ext. 232, wes.benedict(a)lp.org facebook.com/libertarians @LPNational Join the Libertarian Party at: http://lp.org/membership

Upcoming LNC Meeting - previous notice requirements, agenda item requests, and reports
by Nicholas Sarwark 06 Sep '14

06 Sep '14

All, A reminder that if you intend to introduce a motion at the upcoming LNC meeting with previous notice, you'll need to send complete language of any such motion to the LNC business list no later than September 6, 2014. If you would like an item added to the agenda for the meeting, please send me an email with the agenda item, a brief description, and the time you are requesting. The agenda is of course amendable at the meeting, but everything will go more smoothly and quickly if most items are included in the proposed agenda. I will distribute a proposed agenda to the LNC no later than September 13, 2014. I would ask that any written reports from regional representatives and officers be sent by that date as well to ensure all members have sufficient time to review them prior to the in-person meeting. Thanks, Nick

Reason Poll on Millnenials
by Scott L. 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

For those of you who think that the Libertarian Party needs to lean to the left in its outreach if we want to attract new donors from the Millennial generation: Appendix 2 from the recent Reason report on Millennials (1): Of Millennials who self-identified as libertarian and explained why they were libertarian: "Economic/Small Govt. Conservative only 22% Social Liberal only 2%" In the abridged version of that survey that they mailed out to Reason donors, they combined some categories, but still: Of self-identified libertarians, the reason they used to justify that label: "Economic Issues 67% Social/Tolerance Issues 48%" Either way, these results strongly suggest that if the Libertarian Party wants to attract more 18 to 29 year olds who already identify as libertarian, it would be more fruitful to advertise our positions on economic issues rather than our positions on social issues. If you have a goal other than getting the most bang for the buck with our outreach, then you might come to another conclusion.
