Please note Dan is busy tonight setting up the watch party for the LP Election Night coverage or he would reply - please be sure to promote this on your social media - check our FB page for updates & live stream! He should have been more clear that this event is hosted by "The Libertarian National Committee" as in "The Libertarian Party" vs you all! Apologies for any misunderstanding with the initials "LNC" which could mean YOU or the national party. But Whitney is correct this is the same as some prior events including the BBQ in Austin & is used for outreach & support of our affiliates & candidates & elected officials. Totally voluntary if you wish to participate / attend. Please note we are proving a light lunch (free of charge but again donations always welcome) on Sat around noon if that's any consolation. Have a great election night! Robert -- Robert S.

giving notice for reserve definition amendment
by Alicia Mattson 03 Nov '19

03 Nov '19

The attached motion (to amend how our reserve is calculated) was on the agenda for the July meeting, but I agreed to pull it in the interests of time. It is better suited for a meeting than for an email ballot in case amendments are desired. I'm giving previous notice for this motion and requesting agenda time for our November meeting. -Alicia

giving notice for making convention special events
by Alicia Mattson 03 Nov '19

03 Nov '19

The attached motion was first introduced at the March LNC meeting as part of the Convention Oversight Committee report. It was postponed and voted upon at the July meeting, where it failed by a narrow 7-8 vote. One of the "no" voters indicated to me a willingness to vote for it if the LNC at this upcoming meeting adopts a budget which includes back-filling the existing hole of convention funds diverted for general fund use. I'm again giving previous notice for this motion and requesting agenda time AFTER the budget has been adopted. If I feel the conditions have changed such that I might pick up a different vote result, I want the option to introduce this motion again. -Alicia

Just a quick note here - this is an incorrect characterization (caricature-ization) of Tourette’s. It’s not the sophisticated use of cutting phrases in long written communication, but more the uncontrollable physical tics which may include blurted profanity or non-language utterances. It’s kind of like calling someone who keeps a tidy house “OCD”. > > On Nov 1, 2019 at 7:34 PM, <Caryn Ann Harlos via Lnc-business (mailto:lnc-business@hq.lp.org)> wrote: > > > > “Now, I don’t have Tourette’s but I’m picturing a person with such a horrid > > > disorder reading your words feeling completely worthless.” > > The list: > > > > > • demeaning > > • shaming > > • dictate > > • ridiculous > > • way out of bounds > > • twisting > > • don’t believe that for a second > > • scolding > > • overly sensitive > > • not a good characterization

Proposed Budget for 2020
by Tim Hagan 01 Nov '19

01 Nov '19

On behalf of the Executive Committee, a proposed 2020 budget to be considered at the November 16-17 meeting is attached in both Excel and PDF. The budget is highlighted in cyan on the Operating Budget sheet. The numbers come from the Acct Detail sheet. An additional sheet having employee and contractor salary information, which we've always considered confidential, will be presented at the meeting. Total support and revenues is $2,343,400. Total cost of support and revenues is $855,700. Total program expenses is $1,487,700. This budget is balanced, that is no surplus nor deficit. We expect capital expenditures of $7,300 and will pay $26,434 toward the principal in the mortgage payments. Will receive $48,546 from the bequests held in escrow. These give a Unrestricted Operating Surplus (I think of it like a cash surplus) of $14,812. The total revenues are higher than 2018, but not as high as 2016, which was an exceptional year. Should be helped by having a development team. Except for the portions going to administration work, the pay to contractors show up on the appropriate functional lines on the Acct Detail sheet. In particular, lines 7010-10 (Development), 7310 (Affiliate Development), 7340 (Media Relations & Press Releases), and 7360-40 (Candidate Support & Training) include contractors. -- Tim Hagan Treasurer, Libertarian National Committee
