Just stop.

Mr Sarwark,

I hope you realize that to anyone honestly observing your actions give proof to my statements regarding your methods.

Everyone else? Step up or stop complaining. We have a motion about to pass that will address this issue.

Other than that it requires 2/3 vote to actually do something. A 2/3 vote that we should have done long since. However it has become readily apparent that enough people on this board are too busy engaging in the same games or do not have the guts to stand up against the abuse for us to reach that 2/3. To our shame, and a deep stain on our entire tenure.

Do we have the will to rein this behavior in or not? I hope we do, but I suspect not. I call again for Mr Sarwark to resign, and fully expecting he will not, I call on US to remove him.

Fully aware that I expect to be disappointed in this call, and knowing the traditional wisdom that says do not make that move if you are not sure of victory, I still do so, because at some point you must stand up against abuse of power and tyranny, just as people all over the country are doing now.

Regardless I suggest the COC contact the hotel and make them aware of the situation, including that any contract received from Mr Sarwark has not been properly approved.

I'm not sure whether LNC members are getting the track-changes version or a
changes-accepted version, but let me highlight for you the differences
between the Nick version and the COC version:

1) COC added a sentence in "21. Cancellation"
2) COC added a sentence in "24. Force Majeure"
3) COC added two phrases in "30. Confirmation" noting that this version is
COC-approved and supersedes any previous version
4) COC also struck out the name of Robert Kraus as the person the hotel
expected to sign and replaced with "Officer", but that wasn't going to
happen anyway. It was just a placeholder.

To be very clear for our readers, the version Nick says he intends to sign
is the one he believes he can unilaterally cancel. The COC-authorized
version says the cancellation or force-majeure clauses may only be
exercised by an affirmative vote of the LNC.

That is the difference.
