Yes, since the AV contract approved by the COC has been authorized to be signed then the meeting is moot and should be cancelled. --- Sam Goldstein, At Large Member Libertarian National Committee Convention Oversight Committee 317-850-0726 Cell On 2020-06-17 18:30, john.phillips--- via Lnc-business wrote:
Mr Goldstein does this mean we can cancel your request for an emeeting? Or do you wish to continue with it?

I thought maybe there was a last minute audible. I appreciate the quick response.

As a point of clarification do you mean we are contracting with the in house or with the other company?

Dear All,
After the review of the bid from the in-house A/V provider from the Rosen Shingle Creek, edits and approval from Special Counsel Oliver Hall, and the decision of the Convention Oversight Committee not to move forward with an addendum for remote sites in other states, I approved the contract with the Audio Visual Group and directed Mr. Kraus to execute it on behalf of the Libertarian National Committee.
As a point of personal privilege, I didn't appreciate receiving over 100 emails sent to the business list over the weekend while I was visiting Minneapolis to work in the community with the state chair and activists from the Libertarian Party of Minnesota. Getting a message that my Gmail storage was full while in the middle of a protest march and hours away from being back to a computer was particularly inconvenient. The same few members of this committee have been exceedingly inconsiderate to their fellow members in using a list intended for party business as their water cooler and sending tens of messages on the same topic, rather than collecting their thoughts into one or two emails. Perhaps this strategy of flooding the list is persuasive to others, but it has not been persuasive to me.
Also, a LNC member of the Convention Oversight Committee apparently thought it was appropriate to share exact figures of two contracts to the public list, something I find ironic, given that the same member has often been a strong proponent of confidentiality of contracts and their details. In the future, I would ask all members of the LNC to use good judgment in not sharing confidential information publicly.
As the days grow shorter between now and the second sitting of convention, I would ask members of this committee to focus on the work of the Libertarian Party rather than a flurry of emails and motions in the waning weeks of the term, especially since there will be a new LNC in less than a month.
My flight and room are booked and I look forward to seeing those of you who will be attending in person in Orlando.
Yours in liberty, Nick
