A few words about the Convention
by Nicholas Sarwark 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

Dear All, With the news from the Rosen Group that Shingle Creek will not be available, we are working to move to an alternate venue in Orlando, the Rosen Center combined with the Convention Center, to hold the second sitting of the national convention. That involves negotiations regarding an addendum to the convention contract to reflect any concessions or changes. Our position in those negotiations is not improved by members of the Libertarian National Convention agitating to cancel the entire convention contract. Less than a month ago, my integrity was questioned and people speculated that I was lying about doing everything in my power to ensure that there would be a second sitting of the convention in Orlando. If you doubted my resolve then, do not doubt it now; I will do everything I can to ensure that we have a second sitting for the delegates who wish to attend and to not waste all of the work that the Convention Oversight Committee has done to get us to this point. We have received assurances from the CoC for months that everything was under control for an in-person convention, that all precautions would be taken, that regulations weren't being enforced or didn't matter, and that even talking about cancelling the convention was an attempt to make the convention fail. They went so far as to explicitly prevent me from using the “cancellation or force majeure clauses in the contract with Rosen.” Even though I told everyone that I've never executed a contract in bad faith in my life, still some doubted my commitment to follow through. Doubt no more. I trust that the Convention Oversight Committee will ensure that all the events are a success, that the LNC will vote to support the bylaws proposal for full online participation for any delegates who wish to participate remotely for whatever reason, and that the LNC will meet to make a pro forma change to the location to be the Rosen Center. I trust that everyone will work together to make sure that the party upholds its commitments and works with our counterparty to fulfill our contract. I trust that people will stop fighting about whether the convention will be a success, and start working to make sure it is a success. See you in Orlando, Nick

Can we put out a poll to the delegates who voted for an in person convention
by Caryn Ann Harlos 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

Here is something we all need to take seriously. The delegates voted for an in person convention. I don't really think we have the right to cancel if we have a location which we do. It is usurping their decision. But they may think differently now. Can we poll them so we know what we should do? This isn't about us. It is about particular state chairs in particular regions. It is about the delegate that gave us specific marching orders. Can we find out what THEY want? * In Liberty,* * Personal Note: I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome (part of the autism spectrum).

Orlando in-person convention
by William Redpath 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

I think the in-person convention in Orlando should be cancelled and am prepared to so vote. I ask other LNC members who agree with me to speak up on this list. At the very least, another poll regarding attendees should be taken, because I surmise plans of many people are changing. In the previous poll, Julie Fox voted that she was likely to attend, but she just told me that she is now not going. I previously voted that I was sure to attend. If I were to vote today in a poll, I would vote "unlikely to attend" due to my work travel schedule and quarantine issues after leaving Florida on July 12. I have not decided for sure. I think the actual attendance numbers will be far lower than stated in the poll that was taken. I hope to participate online, but that will be dependent on a two-thirds vote of the delegates in attendance. While I have been told that remote participation for the convention will likely pass, I don't think any LP delegate should be put in the position of having to go to Orlando or be dependent on that vote to participate in the convention. It would be far better to have a second online convention for LNC officers, LNC At-Large and Judicial Committee and not address Bylaws or Platform until the May 2022 convention in Reno. Bill Redpath

Fwd: Orlando Convention
by Sam Goldstein 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Forwarded at Ms. Millis' request. --- Sam Goldstein, At Large Member Libertarian National Committee Convention Oversight Committee 317-850-0726 Cell -------- Original Message -------- SUBJECT: Orlando Convention DATE: 2020-06-30 15:27 FROM: Tonya Millis <tonyaforcongress(a)gmail.com> TO: Sam Goldstein <sam.goldstein(a)lp.org> Sam, I've not yet seen a poll from the LNC, but my vote would be "to go" to the In-person LP Convention. While the nay-sayers are relishing in the latest developments, it makes good business sense to me. Putting the LP Convention attendees into another 'up & running' hotel down the road, which is attached to a bigger/better convention hall, is a way to make money rather than lose money. The latest rumor the Rosen has nefarious intentions to cancel the contract when they will make a lot of money from the LP, is an attempt to kill the in-person convention. It appears to me the Rosen is acting in good faith to keep the LP's business which they desperately need. As a delegate from Indiana, I was in favor of the 'compromise' to split the convention so that our President & VP nominees could get on the ballot in all 50 states. Is it possible some members are using the COVID-19 as an excuse not to go to an in-person meeting rather than admit they don't have the funding to travel? It's possible. Sam, when you have your meeting to discuss and vote on the revised contract with Rosen, you are welcome to mention my concerns. Not just as a delegate, but as a Candidate for a federal position, it's important for me to go to the LP National Convention. It is also my opinion that Dr. Jo needs to have a 'lively rally' to bolster her campaign. Our Pres/VP nominees will benefit from this. Just sharing my opinion. Hope to see you in Orlando. -- TONYA MILLIS, Libertarian Candidate, US House, IN D9
