John, The delegates in convention can do pretty much whatever they want within the bound of the Bylaws and Roberts. We have had Bylaws and/or Convention Rules that take effect immediately, the change to Approval Voting for At Large and JC at Columbus that turned into a major fiasco, for instance. ARTICLE 17: AMENDMENT 1. These Bylaws may be amended by a 2/3 vote of the delegates at any Regular Convention. 2. Article 3, Section 1, or this Section, shall not be amended by a vote of less than 7/8 of all registered delegates at a Regular Convention. --- Sam Goldstein, At Large Member Libertarian National Committee 317-850-0726 Cell On 2020-03-14 17:07, john.phillips@lp.org wrote:
Thank you for the clarification.
However, they could consider a bylaws change at convention to allow it?
At this point this is low on my things of concern, just engaging in a conversation brought up.

The solution would be a Bylaws change allowing an immediate election of a JC that will hold office until 2022 when the regular cycle would resume. Caryn Ann is correct in that the Bylaws cannot be suspended. We cannot resume the election as unfinished business because all business terminated at the end of the convention, we didn't table it until the next meeting.

Could we not just continue the election as unfinished/old business from the last convention?
Not an expert on this as we know, but would seem to be the simplest solution.

I keep hearing discussions about how we can fix the JC issue this convention through a suspension of the Rules but the JC is under the Bylaws not the Rules and Bylaws cannot be suspended. Am I missing something here?
