Convention Oversight Committee Housekeeping
by Daniel Hayes 30 Jun '17

30 Jun '17

All, We find ourselves with a bit a problem that needs fixing. The policy manual defines the Convention Oversight Committee as follows: "Four LNC Members or Alternates, plus 3 non-LNC members who are recommended by the Convention Oversight Committee" "LNC members selected by the LNC, non-LNC members selected by the LNC Chair". Erin Adams has moved from being a non-LNC member to being a LNC Alternate. I have two alternatives on how to do it. I highly value Erin's work ethic and contribution to the COC and wish to keep her as a full voting member of the committee. First, we could just do the following: "Move to ratify Erin Adams, Whitney Bilyeu, William Brackeen, Sam Goldstein, Daniel Hayes, Alicia Mattson, and BetteRose Ryan as members of the Convention Oversight Committee for the current term, notwithstanding any rules in the LNC Policy Manual." I included all the names because if we ratified one person but not the others, that might create some other problem. This following option is a bit messier but more certain: "Move to amend the chart in the LNC policy manual section 1.03 to define the size of the Convention Oversight Committee as, 'Seven members composed of up to five LNC Members or Alternates, plus up to three non-LNC members who are recommended by the Convention Oversight Committee.'; to sunset upon expiration of the current COC term and to ratify Erin Adams' position as a member of the Convention Oversight Committee." My reason for the "up to" language is because life has a funny way of throwing us twists. IF for some reason a LNC member of the COC were to vacate their seat before the end of their term, I would expect us to restore the composition to 4 LNC and 3 non LNC members of the COC. The sunset is there to restore the original intent once this term is over. I am not seeking co-sponsors for either motion yet, as I am checking a sense of the body to see which route we prefer to use. Daniel Hayes LNC At Large Member LNC COC Vice-Chair Sent from my iPhone

March LNC meeting at Students For Liberty? #BeFree at LibertyCon 2018
by Wes Benedict 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Way down below is an email from Students For Liberty (SFL) announcing their conference. Students For Liberty puts on a great conference annually in Washington, D.C.. It's not just for students--many others attend and organizations including the LNC, Cato, Reason, Atlas Network, Koch, Institute for Justice, and many other organizations have booths participate in sessions. Attendance in recent years averages probably double a national LP convention. The conferences run from Friday through Sunday, with most of the action being on Friday afternoon and Saturday, with Sunday ending around lunch or at least attendance dropping off significantly by then. Early Bird Registration is only $100. That's a lot more affordable than FreedomFest, where the LNC has met several times in recent years. Also, I think the SFL speakers and themes are more libertarian focused than FreedomFest, and also focuses more on philosophy and activism, whereas FreedomFest has a significant focus on investing. (Investment seminars bore me cause I'm a closed-minded old-school low-cost indexed fund investor). In any case, if the LNC is interested, I think you could hold an LNC meeting either at the same hotel, or a nearby hotel. When we've met in Las Vegas at FreedomFest, we've had one day all day Sunday meetings, which could work at the SFL event. An alternative would be to meet Saturday from 3 PM to 8 PM, and Sunday from 8 AM to 2 PM. This could be an especially efficient option for those uninterested in the conference but able to fly in Saturday morning in time for the 3 PM start, and depart Sunday afternoon resulting in just one hotel night. And staff wouldn't need to pay for flights since we'd be in D.C. If the LNC is interested in having a meeting in conjunction with the SFL conference, we can research some options for the LNC to consider at the August St. Louis meeting. I think I'm like 0 for 8 when it comes to the LNC adopting my suggestions for locations for LNC meetings, so, obviously, no need to feel like I'm pressuring anyone and I'll not feel offended if the LNC chooses other dates and locations. Below are two images from our 2017 booth at the conference earlier this year. And again, the email announcing the conference is down below.
