As someone on the prevailing side I would be willing to consider this - but I would like to know what is planned to be brought forward in its place BEFORE.

I also will point out that my trust levels right now are exceedingly low, and I have a lot of concerns that revolve around ballot access affects in my region and elsewhere as Mr Odonnell rightfully brings up.

I have sent a request for input to my state chairs.

One more concern is that the time frame of voting via email does not allow for multiple issues.

IF we do this it could get very bad.

Can we not have a motion to amend something previously adopted instead?

I object to this motion.

The purpose of the compromise we came to was to accomodate ballot access deadlines and the recognition that a July date made doing so impossible or impractical. Ignoring those concerns is irresponsible and damaging to the Party. Furthermore, we waited too long to make a decision in the first place, this is on us. We all knew well before last weekend that Memorial Day in Texas wasn't going to fly in the current climate, we have noone but ourselves to blame for letting things get to this point with wishful thinking. Its time to stop acting childish, suck it up, and make the best of the situation we're in.

On parliamentary grounds, a motion to reconsider is required to be made by a member of the prevailing side, I would argue that an email ballot requires 4 valid cosponsors, and thus would require 4 members from the prevailing side to cosponsor in order to be a valid motion.

I ask for email ballot co-sponsors for the following motion to:

Rescind in its entirety the motion adopted during the May 9, 2020 LNC
meeting, which called for a convention to begin on May 22, 2020 with
business conducted online. Instead, in accordance with Bylaw Article 10.1,
the LNC calls an in-person convention to occur during the dates of July
8-12, 2020 at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida.

I know that I was on the losing side of a 13-4 motion on Saturday, however
after tonight's train-wreck and the information I learned during it, I
believe that some LNC members from the other side are ready to change
course. If I did not believe that to be the case, I would not offer this
motion. To preserve options for the LNC, given the 7-day voting period for
an email ballot, I want to start this motion now so that it can complete by
next Wednesday.

I will have a LOT to say about this soon, as will others, but my first
focus is getting the co-sponsors. Then we can debate.
