Because of scattered phone calls and the like.  A proposed motion will be on the list soon.  Nothing nefarious just the nature of people talking in various venues and finally coming together.  And I wanted to feel out if there was support.  If not, I have a family to attend to rather than waste time on a futile task.  I am convinced there is support.  But my line in the sand is the bylaws.  I will not cross it.  The only item for which the emergency provision can be invoked to override the bylaws is the P/VP nomination,.  I am willing to support carving out an exception for that and for that alone.  I will not violate our bylaws by doing so for other things for which there is no such emergency.

Also why is the proposal off the list? I think now more than ever we need to be putting everything on the business list. (Totally not accusing anyone of anything I just want our members to have faith in us)

I'm actually not sure I'd be willing to support a postponement that doesn't also allow remote participation but I could be swayed if that's what the delegation wants.

Tim and Dustin, there is a majority of LNC members now who are willing to
sign on to a different compromise.  An all online P/VP election very soon
and an in person convention for everything else in July/august with no
hybrid option.  This way everyone gets something of what they want.  I am
willing to sign off on that.

I hope you will too Tim.
