A couple of comments regarding the motion currently before us
by James Lark 18 Jul '19

18 Jul '19

Dear colleagues: I hope all is well with you.I am writing to offer a couple of comments regarding the motion currently before us.I hope you find these comments to be helpful. 1) In a separate message, I shall vote “nay” on the motion regarding the censure of Mr. Leder.My reasons are largely those which Mr. Bishop-Henchman offered in his messages of July 16. 2)As far as I am aware, this motion was made available to us for the first time at 7:53 p.m. EDT on July 10.Voting on the motion began at 1:26 p.m. EDT on July 11.That is, the length of time between the point when the motion was first made available to the LNC (which was the first time I learned of allegations regarding Mr. Leder) and the point when voting began was less than 24 hours. Allow me to request the following of those who make motions for which the vote will be conducted by e-ballot.Unless your motion involves matters that must be considered immediately, when you first submit a motion for consideration by the LNC, please request that prospective cosponsors wait at least 48 hours (72 hours would be better) before cosponsoring the motion.The requested delay between the first distribution of a proposed motion and a formal vote on that motion will allow LNC members a little time to consider the motion carefully and offer suggestions for its improvement. As always, thanks for your work for liberty.I look forward to seeing you in Austin. Take care, Jim James W. Lark, III Professor, Dept. of Engineering Systems and Environment Professor, Applied Mathematics Program, Dept. of Engineering and Society Affiliated Faculty, Dept. of Statistics University of Virginia Advisor, The Liberty Coalition University of Virginia Region 5 Representative, Libertarian National Committee

Re: [Lnc-business] DRAFT MINUTES MARCH 9-10 VERSION 3
by Alicia Mattson 13 Jul '19

13 Jul '19

The email accompanying version 3 of the March minutes indicated that it had incorporated all of the input received. After taking the time to review again, this is not the case. There are still several issues with the secretary's report, issues which I have noted more than once previously, yet they persist here in the latest version. The body of version 4 of the secretary's report still retains all the errors I noted in version 1 of the report, though the appendices have addressed some of my comments from versions 2 and 3 of the report. The following issues still remain: 1) In “Status of Minutes Since Last Report” the date on the first set of minutes listed should be December 1-2, rather than December 9-10. 2) Under “Motions” the first motion listed is, “Move to approve the draft minutes, version 7, for the December 1-2, 2018 LNC meeting.” The version number should be 8, rather than 7, as version 7 had not yet incorporated particular changes requested by Mr. Bishop-Henchman. 3) Under “Motions” the second motion listed is, “Move to approve the draft minutes, version 1, for the January 6, 2019 LNC special meeting.” The previous page reports that the January 6 minutes had already been approved. It should instead be a motion for approval of the February 19, 2019 ExComm minutes. 4) Under “Committee Membership Changes Since December Meeting”, for version 1 of the report I noted that shortly after you sent the first version of the secretary’s report but before the meeting occurred, the chair sent an email informing us of his appointments to IT Committee. This detail could be updated, and the issue could be removed from “Committee Appointments Remaining” section. You did that in version 2 of the secretary’s report, but versions 3 and 4 of the report reverted back to the original text. 5) On the MSC OpaVote result tables, the table footer incorrectly lists John Phillips as a person who did not post his ballot to the email list, but he did post it to our email list, and his votes are listed in that table. 6) On version 2 of the secretary’s report, I noted that the CVPC table in Appendix B shows that Mr. Smith’s ballot ranked two candidates (Lazerow and Robinson) both as #9. Robinson should be #8, and Lazerow should be #9. I THINK this is fixed, but because of the pixelated graphics it is very difficult to tell for sure because "8" and "9" look a lot alike. 7) On version 2 of the secretary’s report, I noted that from RONR p. 427, in preferential voting, “The tellers' report consists of a table listing all candidates or propositions, with the number of ballots that were in each pile after each successive distribution.” Data from tellers’ reports are entered in the minutes. The appendices to the secretary’s report show tables of our rankings of the candidates, but not the vote allocations for each round in the OpaVote process. In this version of the minutes, I see that footnote 4 has been added on p. 62 to reference RONR p. 427, but the data which p. 427 says should be included has not actually been included yet. Also, in the notes associated with those two email ballots, a reference has been added to a 115-page document of results which it says was not included, but the data that RONR is talking about is not precisely reported in that 115-page document anyway. OpaVote generated the data I'm talking about in a spreadsheet file. Since my requests have so far not resulted in the data being added, I have taken that OpaVote spreadsheet, reformatted a bit, and trimmed out all the candidates with zero vote totals so that the resulting data is small enough to easily add to the minutes with only a little reformatting needed to make it more visually appealing. See the two attached files, showing the vote totals in each round for both the CVPC and MSC email ballot elections via OpaVote. This is what RONR was saying should be included in the minutes - the number of ballots that were in each pile after each successive distribution. -Alicia On Wed, Jun 12, 2019 at 12:12 AM Caryn Ann Harlos via Lnc-business < lnc-business(a)hq.lp.org> wrote: > Attached please find V3 of the minutes incorporating all of the input > received. > > -- > > * In Liberty,* > > *Libertarian Party and Libertarian National Committee Secretary *- > Caryn.Ann. > Harlos(a)LP.org <Caryn.Ann.Harlos(a)LP.org> or Secretary(a)LP.org. > *Chair, LP Historical Preservation Committee* - LPedia(a)LP.org > Call me at 561.523.2250 and follow my public figure page at > facebook.com/pinkflameofliberty/ > > ========================================================================= > Peaceful Commerce With All Nations * Non-interventionism * Re-Legalize All > Drugs * End Government Intrusion In The Bedroom * Repeal All Gun Laws * > Abolish All Taxation * Sound, Free-market Money * Abolish The Fed * End > Corporate & Individual Welfare * Abolish The IRS and Repeal the Income Tax > * Privatize Transportation Infrastructure * Free-market Emergency Services > * Open Migration * Transfer Government Schools To The Private Sector * > Eliminate Regulation * > > *VOTE LIBERTARIAN * 800-ELECT-US or http://www.LP.org <http://www.lp.org/ > >* > ========================================================================= >
