I will let you know what signed paperwork I get by the end of today. It is my understanding that they need to be signed yesterday. But of course that is up to the chair. *In Liberty,* * Personal Note: I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome (part of the autism spectrum).

I co-sponsor as well. I also implore the regions that have not submitted paperwork to take advantage of election buddy and Zoom to hold their caucuses online if they wish to do so.
Perhaps someone would like to adopt the region zero states? Alabama and FL have forged an uncanny informal alliance during these times.

Friends,
I would like my other regionals to consider joining me in appealing the ruling of the chair in which he stated that regional agreements were expected to be turned in end of day yesterday, the 23rd.
My basis for argument is that while the bylaws do indicate that agreements must be turned in by the second day of convention, many of us found that out 10 or so days, maybe less, before the agreements were due which, under normal circumstances are completed at the regional caucus. Because of this pressure and the stressors of getting the e-convention put together, I think there was a sufficient time constraint put on us.
Due to to the emergency circumstances, we agreed to have this meeting for the sole purpose of electing our President and Vice president. All other business was to be put off to our in person. Regional formation should be no different. The idea is that the region forms at the close of convention, not the beginning.
I held off on my appeal to see if there would be an issue. Reading the secretary's email from this morning, we technically may now have several states that are orphaned because a signed contract was not turned in on time.
I would like the chair's ruling overturned that agreements were due last night and, if the chair insists that they are due before our in person, that he give a date to complete the agreements by a reasonable time in the future but before our in person gathering. The unusual circumstances that affected the separation of our elections and caused our election to become something other than expected should also be considered for regional agreements.
