A short reminder regarding decorum
by Nicholas Sarwark 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

Dear All, I expect that members of the Libertarian National Committee will disagree with each other with respect. I expect that after the Libertarian National Committee comes to a decision on an issue, be it the purchase of an office or the choice to make a goal a certain number of candidates running for public office, that every member of the committee will either support the goal or at least stop trying to publicly fight against it after they've lost. I expect that every member of the Libertarian National Committee will be polite and respectful to the rest of the members and to the national office staff. If anyone is unwilling or unable to meet these expectations, I will happily accept your resignation from the Libertarian National Committee and wish you the best of luck in whatever future endeavors you choose. Yours in liberty, Nicholas J. Sarwark Chair, Libertarian National Committee

Policy Manual Amendment, regarding the hiring of a new Executive Director
by Justin O'Donnell 01 Dec '18

01 Dec '18

Colleagues on the LNC, Knowing that Wes will be leaving his position as Executive Director, there has been a lot of offline discussion regarding who will replace him in that role. I realized that the Policy Manual gives almost unilateral discretion to the chair in searching out, recruiting and hiring a new Executive Director with merely the approval of The LNC, as opposed to the input and direction of the LNC. I believe that this process should be more open to involvement from The LNC and members of the Party as a whole, as the selection of the new Executive Director is a critical choice in the direction of the Party moving forward. To that end, I offer the following amendment to the Policy Manual, to create an executive search committee comprising of LNC members and Party members to recruit and screen applicants, before making a recommendation to the LNC as a body. The text of the amended section appears below, and a markup of the proposed changes is included in the attaced PDF Document. Hiring and Termination, Section 2.09.4 In the event of a vacancy in the office of Executive director, the Chair shall establish and appoint an Executive Search Committee consisting of 9 members, including The LNC Chair, The Employment Policy and Compensation Committee Chair, 2 additional LNC Members and 5 non-LNC Party Members. The Executive Search Committee shall be responsible for establishing the criteria for hiring, developing a thorough and complete description of the position, soliciting applications, screening applicants, and making a recommendation to the LNC for the appointment and employment of a New Executive Director. The Party Chair shall serve as the Chair of the Executive Search Committee. The LNC shall appoint and employ the Executive Director by a two-thirds vote, subject to the right of the LNC to discharge the Director at any time by majority vote. The Chair shall provide advice and consent to the Executive Director on the appointment, employment, and termination of all LPHQ personnel. The office of the LNC shall conduct a credit and criminal background check prior to offering employment to any prospective employee. Employees and candidates for employment shall be obligated to notify the Chair, Executive Director and Employment Policy and Compensation Committee of the full details of any arrest or conviction of crimes punishable by imprisonment, or of any personal financial problem, including involuntary liens or any filing for personal bankruptcy The office of the LNC shall not employ any person who has been convicted of a crime against property or person, unless with the approval of the Employment Policy and Compensation Committee. The Chair shall promptly disclose to the LNC as a confidential employer-employee matter that such approval has been given. The LNC may override such approval, but the motion shall not reveal confidential details The office of the LNC shall not allow any employee with a history of financial problems, including involuntary liens or who has filed for personal bankruptcy, to handle money or negotiable instruments, access donor information, approve or negotiate purchases with contractors or suppliers, or prepare accounting records, unless with the approval of the Chair and the Employment Policy and Compensation Committee. The Chair shall promptly disclose to the LNC as a confidential employer-employee matter that such approval has been given. The LNC may override such approval, but the motion shall not reveal confidential details. -- Yours in Liberty, Justin O'Donnell LNC Region 8 Representative LPNH Alternate- LNC Platform Committee Chair- LPNH Platform Committee Candidate for US Congress, NH-2 www.odonnell2018.org

Framed SoP and button display

Wes, I didn't get the chance to give it to you at convention (way too crazy) so let me know how you want to handle transfer. I can bring to our next LNC meeting or have it shipped to you. I know the donor prefers it never be shipped but always transferred in the personal possession of someone (so in the flight, in your carryon). If that is troublesome, I can bring it if we have a DC meeting. I also have a button display to donate - that is pretty large and heavy. I think if we wait until we have a DC meeting we can actually make its installation at HQ part of a fundraising event. -- -- *In Liberty,* *Caryn Ann Harlos* Libertarian Party and Libertarian National Committee Secretary - Caryn.Ann.

FYI re future meeting reminders etc

If it is ever noted on the LNC list that a certain document or topic may need to be discussed at the next meeting, I have already started the Dec 2018 One-Note notebook and will keep a list of all of those items or upload said documents. If you would like to use the notebook to start drafting your reports or to use as report notes let me know and I will send you a link that will give you editing permissions. I take notes over the months on things I want to put in my reports so I don't forget and don't have to scramble at the last minute. It is a good practice. If any at-larges are intending on submitting reports let me know and I will make a notebook entry for you.
