Sabotage
by Caryn Ann Harlos 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

All this talk of waffling is now causing people to cancel and change their mind. Congratulations on sabotaging the work of the CoC and delegates. Each of you doing so that accused the chair of sabotage for far less blatant things are being hypocrites. You need to stop now and show people they have not made plans in vain. Each and every one of you doing this should be held accountable for the loss in revenue already incurred. The loss in trust and confidence is incalculable. Do the right thing and cure that now. -- * In Liberty,* * Personal Note: I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome (part of the autism spectrum).

The Cold Equations - We are not cancelling this convention
by Caryn Ann Harlos 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Everything I have to say assumes that nothing else changes such as the chair choosing to vote on that email ballot early or the state of Florida shutting things down. Fact: We have a perfectly acceptable location. I do not find the stretches to try to find ways this is materially different particularly credible but as a justification to relitigate this issue that the delegates already decided. Fact: The soonest we can meet is July 4. I am not available. Of course a meeting can take place without me but that would then prove contradictory to the repeated concerns of disenfranchisement of anyone. Not that this difference of one day really matters. So we meet on July 5. You really think we are going to cancel on July 5? That is grossly abusive to delegates. Some of them ARE ALREADY DRIVING DOWN. It is too late. This is a fact and not all the wishes of a magic lamp changes that. Further, I am hearing from more people and I am not even certain now that finding out that the original delegates changed their mind is enough (if they have). Why? People have spent thousands in detrimental reliance on our decision. Including the Colorado state chair which is of personal interest to me. Anyone voting to cancel, I do hope you will volunteer your own money to make these people whole. It is over IMHO unless someone can show me where my reasoning is wrong. The sooner we stop sabatoging the will of the delegates (which we criticized the chair for) the sooner we work to make this a success under difficult circumstances. We don't get to override the delegates. We don't get to cause people to lose money because we have cold feet,. * 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

Illinois delegation
by William Redpath 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

I just received a text message from LPIL State Chair Steve Suess: "At this point, only a third of our delegation is attending in person, and that number is shrinking." Then, more people texted that they were not going, so it is certain that under one-third of the Illinois delegation will be there. What happens in Orlando if there is not a quorum of all delegates?
