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

Re: [Lnc-business] EMAIL BALLOT 190922-1: Approve July 27-28 2019 LNC Minutes V4
by James Lark 07 Oct '19

07 Oct '19

Dear colleagues: I hope all is well with you. After finally finding some time to review the fourth version of the draft minutes, I noticed a few minor items in the draft that should be rectified. Thus, I shall abstain on the motion. In particular, I noticed the following items: * On p. 4, the page listed for Appendix J-2 is listed as "Error! Bookmark not defined." * On p. 20, the following sentence appears: The current short-list of fifteen (15) sites for the 2022 was presented and discussed. I believe the phrase "national convention" should be inserted in the sentence following 2022. * On p. 24, the following sentence appears: Chairman Nicholas J. Sarwark called the meeting back to order at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 29, 2019. I believe it should be Sunday, July 28, 2019. * In the Word version of the draft, p. 27 is blank (with the exception of the footer at the bottom of the page). As always, thanks for your work for liberty. Take care, Jim James W.

Re: [Lnc-business] Reporting an event

Dan, These emails aren't visible on either the 'Lnc-business Archives" (which can be found from links on the LNC page of our LP website), or on the Google groups reflector list. Which is where most people will look to see LNC communications. Please ensure that the communications reach 'lnc-business(a)hq.lp.org' As I wished to direct an LP member to communications/explanations, but I don't see it on either list I've mentioned above. (Note: I've included the business list in to "To", so it now should appear. ) Thank you!

PS Of states that have primary elections for partisan office, 19 allow parties to opt-out of having a taxpayer-funded primary. PPS Someone please make sure my comments are addressed in the LNC Discussion list, as I want this to be addressed in a public manner. Thank you.
