Thank you Alex. I agree with everything you've asked. This motion, which went straight to a vote smells bad. Particularly, after seeing how there's some vile rumors on social media about LNC members. Because this motion smacks of having an origin tied to those rumors. Which would explain why it wasn't created with transparent and introduced straight to a vote. Further, my objections are that it means that fellow LNC members are falling prey to rumor and manipulations. IF that's not the case, I'd be interesting in hearing about the sudden reason for this, and why it was handled they way it was. Plus, who authored this? --- Elizabeth Van Horn LNC Region 3 Representative (IN, MI, OH, KY) On 2020-05-05 11:07, Alex Merced (LNC Vice Chair) via Lnc-business wrote:
My Questions
1. Why not a public call for sponsors (I’m understanding of discussions off-list, but why not go through the traditional call for sponsors on the list since that’s public anyways?)
2. Is it wise or appropriate to bind the following LNC this late in our term?
Note: I do agree with the substance of the changes, most organization usually have rules like this to prevent conflicts of interest. I just feel weird about how this came to a vote and just want clarity on the two points above.
