Policy Manual Vote Discussion Thread
by Alex Merced (LNC Vice Chair) 07 May '20

07 May '20

My Questions 1. Why not a public call for sponsors (I’m understanding of discussions off-list, but why not go through the traditional call for sponsors on the list since that’s public anyways?) 2. Is it wise or appropriate to bind the following LNC this late in our term? Note: I do agree with the substance of the changes, most organization usually have rules like this to prevent conflicts of interest. I just feel weird about how this came to a vote and just want clarity on the two points above. Alex Merced Vice Chair of the Libertarian National Committee/LP

Fwd: Violation of use of name rights
by Elizabeth Van Horn 07 May '20

07 May '20

LNC members, Please see the link that Jared Hall, the LPIN Political Director has sent. This group isn't tied to , nor authorized by, the national Libertarian Party. Yet, are using the name "Libertarian Party" in their fundraiser attempts. I think a proper 'take-down' action needs to be implemented asap. Also, Jared Hall wrote, and I think it's worth quoting here: "Keep in mind, that although I am bringing this to attention, it bears no weight on the particular candidate with whom this alleges to support, and I would do the same if it were in support of any other candidate, regardless of the level of office being sought." --- Elizabeth Van Horn LNC Region 3 Representative (IN, MI, OH, KY) -------- Original Message -------- SUBJECT: Violation of use of name rights DATE: 2020-05-07 03:00 FROM: LPIN Political Director <politicaldirector(a)lpin.org> TO: Elizabeth Van Horn <elizabeth.vanhorn(a)lp.org> I believe our bylaws state who is and isn't allowed to use the name "Libertarian Party." Article 5, Section 1 states the following: "No person, group or organization may use the name "Libertarian Party" or any confusingly similar designation except the Party or an organization to which the Party grants affiliate party status or as otherwise provided in these bylaws." As such, I believe the following to be fraudulent at worse, and an oversight at minimum by this individual: https://donorbox.org/libertarian-party-for-amash-id-c00745463 https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00745463/ I also request that this be sent to the business list if need be. Keep in mind, that although I am bringing this to attention, it bears no weight on the particular candidate with whom this alleges to support, and I would do the same if it were in support of any other candidate, regardless of the level of office being sought. -- Sincerely, Jared Hall Political Director Libertarian Party of Indiana 402-580-0941

Resolution of the Libertarian Party of Colorado
by Caryn Ann Harlos 06 May '20

06 May '20

This was just posted as passed by the LPCO board Resolved, "the Libertarian Party of Colorado board. Given the unforeseen circumstances of the ongoing pandemic and government response. The libertarian national convention for May 21-25th 2020 is not happening as planned. Because of this unfortunate situation the LNC and the CoC is having to decide how to conduct National Party business whether it’s postponing or having a remote video conference both of which carry positives and negatives. With LPCO having 35 delegates including many board members that have committed to attend, making their voice heard, help conduct national party business which includes the presidential ticket and LNC board members. Making LPCO carry a lot of influence and with other State party’s telling the LNC and CoC their preference, it is important that LPCO use our influence as well. Postponing the in-person convention to June or July and developing a remote option for delegations under travel restrictions or mandatory quarantine brings the opportunity to keep within the National Party bylaws, have different outreach and publicity opportunities. One potential idea/chance is if it’s postponed to July there could be an opportunity to relocate to Las Vegas and have it coincide with the freedom festival. While there is no perfect solution to this quirky year, I believe postponing is the best solution. Therefore the resolution I am proposing will read. WHEREAS, with the ongoing pandemic presenting health and safety risks that is making the in-person May 21-25th 2020 national convention untenable, with trying to have a purely remote convention presenting too many logistic problems and being counter to the National Party’s bylaws, loss of publicity to the Party and Presidential ticket, and calling into question the integrity of the nominating process. Understanding any solution will be imperfect to an unfortunate situation- Therefore, it is RESOLVED that the board of the Libertarian Party of Colorado calls on the Libertarian National Committee to postpone the in-person convention to June or July of 2020, and develop a remote option for delegations under travel restrictions or mandatory quarantine". * In Liberty,* * Personal Note: I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome (part of the autism spectrum).

LNC members, A little slow in sharing (got buried in other stuff if you can believe that), but wanted to let everyone know that Colorado has 59 Libertarian candidates on their ballot for 2020. <3 Richard Longstreth Region 1 Representative (AK, AZ, CO, HI, KS, MT, NM, OR, UT, WA, WY) Libertarian National Committee richard.longstreth(a)lp.org 931.538.9300 Sent from my Mobile Device ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Victoria Reynolds <statechair(a)lpcolorado.org> Date: Mon, May 4, 2020, 12:12 Subject: Fwd: candidates To: Richard Longstreth <richard.longstreth(a)lp.org> For national ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Campaigns LPCO <campaignsdirector(a)lpcolorado.org> Date: Mon, May 4, 2020 at 11:33 AM Subject: candidates To: Victoria Reynolds <statechair(a)lpcolorado.org> For Immediate Release 5/4/2020 The Libertarian Party of Colorado is proud to announce our candidates running for office this fall.

Fwd: EBallot
by Richard Longstreth 06 May '20

Sharing. Colorado used eballot.com for both credentialing and voting for their e-convention. Worth giving a look Richard Longstreth Region 1 Representative (AK, AZ, CO, HI, KS, MT, NM, OR, UT, WA, WY) Libertarian National Committee richard.longstreth(a)lp.org 931.538.9300 Sent from my Mobile Device ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Victoria Reynolds <statechair(a)lpcolorado.org> Date: Wed, May 6, 2020, 06:23 Subject: EBallot To: Francis Wendt <francis.wendt(a)mtlp.org>, Richard Longstreth < richard.longstreth(a)lp.org> We used EBallot.com to elect our national delegates and alternates. The “nominations from the floor” were closed as of a couple days before the ballots went out and then we sent the ballots to our state delegates. We uploaded the voter list from a csv file and the questions were entered manually. It was easy and secure. I would recommend that method. -- In Liberty, *Victoria Reynolds*Chairman Libertarian Party of Colorado 720-933-6900 www.lpcolorado.org FB: fb.com/lpcolorado

What is this about a test mass zoom meeting tonight?
by Caryn Ann Harlos 06 May '20

06 May '20

I heard at the daily stand up meeting today that we are having a mass zoom test tonight unilaterally called by the Chair. To do this without asking people their schedules is not very considerate. There was already a meeting scheduled for the exact same time for the Platform Committee. Less than 24 hours notice is not being sensitive to the schedules of the rest of the LNC, and particularly the officers. I cancelled my Platform Committee meeting but that affects the lives of the twenty platform committee members as we now have to schedule. I would really ask that more courtesy be extended in scheduling these things. * In Liberty,* * Personal Note: I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome (part of the autism spectrum).

Fwd: Takeaway on Zoom Meeting

--- Daniel Fishman Executive Director The Libertarian Party Join Us <http://www.lp.org/join> ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Tom Arnold, Jr. <arnldtcj(a)aol.com> Date: Wed, May 6, 2020 at 8:26 AM Subject: Takeaway on Zoom Meeting To: dan.fishman(a)lphq.org <dan.fishman(a)lphq.org> Take away on the Zoom meeting 1. Next time just invite the heads of delegations, and board members. That let's them get comfortable with the controls and functions of zoom. Set up the 50 rooms and let them try them out. No need for a peanut gallery just yet. 2. Third run through, let the heads of delegations invite some members. This can give them more confidence in running their end. 3. Eliminate the chat function. 4. By the third run through you should be able to run it like a real convention. Please pass this on to Nick, and the rest of the LNC. Thanks *Tom Arnold*
