I vote yes, to sustain the ruling. In the Policy Manual's table for Committee Appointments, the second column has the size of the committee and qualifications to be on the committee. The third column has Member Selection. I'm viewing this as the COC acting similar to a nomination committee sending its recommendations to the Chair. They could recommend more than three nominees, in which case the Chair selects from the pool of recommendations who to appoint onto the committee. The third column in the chart lists only the LNC Chair as the appointing authority. The appointing authority has the power to remove members of the committee. In the case of having a nomination committee, the appointing authority does not need to receive the agreement from the nomination committee to remove a member of a committee. --- Tim Hagan Treasurer, Libertarian National Committee On 2020-05-31 13:18, Caryn Ann Harlos via Lnc-business wrote:
EMAIL BALLOT 200531-1 APPEAL FROM THE RULING OF THE CHAIR CONCERNING REMOVAL OF DANIEL HAYES FROM THE COC
We have an electronic mail ballot.
Votes are due to the LNC-Business list by June 7, 2020 at 11:59:59 pm Pacific time.
Co-Sponsors: Goldstein, Harlos, Longstreth, Phillips, Smith
=============================================
Motion: The Chair has ruled he can not only remove Daniel Hayes as CoC chair but also from the committee entirely. Harlos appeals from the ruling of the chair that he can remove Hayes from the committee without CoC approval since appointment required CoC approval.
=============================================
THRESHOLD REQUIRED: A majority vote is required to overturn the ruling of the chair.
