Proposed
by Daniel Fishman 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

Dear LNC, As I ponder how to replace one of the best fundraisers I’ve ever known, It occurs to me there is a synergistic opportunity right now. I have thought for a long time that the chair of the LNC should be a paid position. There is a possibility right now to make that happen. Rather than going through a hiring process to replace a head of development, I’d like to put the chair to work full time right now as a contractor. I believe a paid chair can focus full time on major donors and issuing press releases -- two things I would like to see us improve on immediately. Lauren and I talked about the need for a paid chair a few weeks ago, and the serendipitous timing of the current Chair’s availability concurrent with the personnel needs of the organization leads me to believe the time for this proposal is now. I am proposing that the LNC offer the chair a contract to become a contractor of the LNC. In return for this the chair would undertake the duties of major donor maintenance and recruitment, public appearances and press secretary as required. By making this a contract position, the LNC can terminate the contract with 30 days notice if there is no longer an organizational need. This also doesn't change the nature of the position for future chairs, which would probably need to be done as a change to the bylaws. The positives are immediately apparent. A chair who can focus on the business of the party, fundraising and appearances, is critical to a professional and consistent message. A chair who can support the affiliates through meetings and advise is a chair who is growing the party. And a chair who is able to focus 100% of their professional effort to the job is an asset to the party. Recognizing the role the chair has in the appointment of the Executive Director I hesitated to make the case -- but this is such a unique confluence of events, I wanted to at least present the LNC with the opportunity for you all to give it thumbs up or down. --- Daniel Fishman Executive Director The Libertarian Party Join Us <http://www.lp.org/join>

Comments about various items
by James Lark 05 Jul '19

05 Jul '19

Dear colleagues: I hope all is well with you, and that you enjoyed a wonderful Independence Day celebration. I am writing to offer comments about various items; I hope you find my comments worthy of your attention. 1) In a separate message I shall vote "aye" on the motion currently before us. Frankly, I share the concerns regarding micromanagement and other potential problems that may arise from approval of the motion. Also, I would have preferred that the APRC be responsible for final approval of revised material. (The argument in favor of the LNC exercising that duty in this situation is reasonable.) However, given that the original material in question can reasonably be viewed as being in conflict with the LP platform, I believe the actions specified in the motion are appropriate. 2) Shortly after receiving the message from Dan Fishman last Friday (June 28) in which he announced the resignation of Lauren Daugherty, I contacted her to thank her for her tremendous service to the LP and the liberty movement. I also informed her in my capacity as chair of the Employment Policy and Compensation Committee (EPCC) that my EPCC colleagues and I consider it appropriate to conduct a post-employment interview with her if she is so inclined. I indicated that the EPCC would respect her preferences concerning how she would like to proceed, such as whether to conduct the interview with the EPCC or/and other groups of people, the date of the interview, and so forth. As you may have seen, she indicated in a message to the LNC on Sunday (June 30) that she felt the EPCC is the best entity to conduct an exit interview, and expressed a preference that the EPCC do so. She also indicated that she is happy to address the LNC during the upcoming meeting, albeit with the understanding that there are topics upon which she will not comment. Given that there has been subsequent discussion by the LNC regarding this matter, I hope she will contact the LNC soon to confirm how she wishes to proceed. 3) Thanks to Mr. Longstreth for his message on Wednesday (July 2) regarding requests for links on LP.org to debates among people seeking the LP presidential nomination. I strongly agree that we should have a discussion soon about this matter. However, I prefer that the discussion focus upon the broader issue of requests from others (by both individuals and organizations) for various types of promotion via our several media. Since developing policies regarding the broader issue may take a great deal of time, it may be appropriate for us to take action at the upcoming meeting on the more specific (and timely) issue regarding links to debates. However, we should be careful to ensure that a decision involving the more specific issue does not place us in an uncomfortable position when we consider the broader issue. 4) Thanks also to Mr. Fishman for circulating his proposal this morning for putting Mr. Sarwark to work as a contractor to conduct fundraising activities. While benefits may accrue if the proposal is approved, for various reasons (some of which have already been mentioned by other people) I am not willing to support it. As always, thanks for your work for liberty. I look forward to seeing you again soon. 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

LP Candidate debates
by Richard Longstreth 02 Jul '19

02 Jul '19

Fellow warriors in liberty, I received the attached letter today from Johnny who received it from the WAL network, addressed to all of us. The primary concern of the letter regards allowing debates to be linked from our website. We've lightly discussed briefly, but I think it essential we come up with either some requirements or standards for allowing the media on our website or we completely decide we are against it. For that reason, I request that this topic be added to the agenda for our July meeting and everyone read the letter prior to the meeting.
