That sounds like an intriguing idea... -Brent On 2019-10-23 11:56, Daniel Fishman via Lnc-business wrote:
Of course the FEC is currently paralyzed with only 2 of its 6 members currently seated, but that leads to a fascinating chain of thought:
Members are appointed by the President and only 3 can be from any one party.
It occurs to me that it might suit this President's whimsy to appoint a Libertarian while the GOP still control the Senate. Would the LNC have any interest in my trying to make the President aware of the idea? --- Daniel Fishman Executive Director The Libertarian Party Join Us <http://www.lp.org/join>

As far as I know, we have not submitted anything. I will look into the potential changes. The Notice 2019-14 may be to force the FEC to create forms for the segregated accounts, which they have not done since the three segregated accounts became law. We have been following the FEC's advice to report contributions to the building fund as Other Federal Receipts, and report expenses from the building fund as Other Disbursements. The itemized ones get a memo stating "Headquarters Account".

Notice 2019-13: Currently list exchanges are unreported if they are equal value (2002-14, Advisory Opinion to LNC). Petitioner wants ALL exchanges reported.
Notice 2019-14: Currently the form for segregated national party accounts (Convention, HQ, Recount and legal) allows for inconsistencies according to petitioner. Petitioner seeks to force all individual and aggregate transactions to be reported by segregated account.
Comments to FEC due Monday
Notice of rule making was at end of August
I don't have much more knowledge than that, it was just brought to my attention. Nor is my area of expertise how much these potential changes might affect us. I understand there are some filing date changes as well.
