I vote no. With the base for decisions being "3/4 vote of entire LNC", an abstention has the same effect as a negative. But members should not vote on a question in which they have a direct personal or pecuniary interest not common to other LNC members. The member with a financial transaction is in the position of either effectively voting nay, or voting aye when having a direct personal interest. Reference RONR pages 403 and 407. --- Tim Hagan Treasurer, Libertarian National Committee On 2020-05-05 00:29, Caryn Ann Harlos via Lnc-business wrote:
