Mr. Goldstein, is there a recording of the CoC meeting?

Dear All,
Ms. Ryan is somewhat inaccurate in her recollections of our last meeting. She specifically said that she was reluctant to bring up the questionable vacancy on the COC but had been ordered by the Chair to do so. The majority of the COC then brought up the fact that there are currently two motions pending before the LNC on this matter and we would wait until those are resolved before making any recommendations.
This constant interference in the workings of the COC is getting old and needs to stop. We are doing over a years work in less than 5 weeks and need to concentrate our efforts on a great convention experience for all attendees.

Dear All,
Apparently the Chair of the Convention Oversight Committee responded to a number of LNC members about representations that were made by certain LNC members. Ms. Ryan had requested that her response be shared with the business list, but her Regional Representative did not do so.
Her response is below: *** "Can you post this for me? If there are things in it that you feel shouldn't be on the thread, go ahead and remove it - that is except for the first sentence. Robert sent me a note asking about this same issue but I think may answer didn't fit the narrative as I didn't see it post. The committee refuses to recommend someone, even Daniel because that will prove there is a vacancy. I need to get back to work but thank you for everything.
I, Ms. Ryan was never bullied by the Chairman. He asked me to call for a vote last weekend but the committee had other things on our plate. I brought it up as the last order of business and said Mr. Sarwark would like a vote of the committee. I did say I serve at the pleasure of the Chair because I do.
Someone motioned that we table the question although there was no motion made to table. Besides we rule by consensus. rarely taking a "vote". I said I was fine telling the Chairman that there was no recommendation from the committee at this time.
I do feel the Chairman was correct in his request and his reading of the policy manual. The Chairman has the right to unilaterally seat and therefore the right to remove the non-LNC members of the committee. Therefore there is a vacancy on the committee, which the members of the committee refused to accept.
Changing the policy manual is up to the LNC but I caution doing that in the heat of a controversy." ***
Yours in liberty, Nick
