I agree with Joshua's assessment. We would not be amending something previously adopted, such that it takes something other than simple majority. Before we adopt the agenda tomorrow morning, a new item can be added with a simple majority. -Alicia On Fri, Dec 9, 2016 at 2:23 PM, Starchild <sfdreamer@earthlink.net> wrote:
If we were to put it on the meeting agenda now, it would need 2/3rds to pass, whereas if we vote on it by email it would just need a majority, correct?

Is there a reason we're not addressing this at the LNC meeting this weekend, as opposed to finding co-sponsors for an email ballot later?

One cool feature which has been on LP.org for a few years now but which looks better on the new site is the Liberty Links page – https://www.lp.org/liberty-links/ – which can be found by clicking on that title under the "Contact" header found at the bottom of each page on the site.
Like the story on Save Scranton currently on the front page of LP.org that I mentioned in another recent post, linking to other pro-freedom organizations and websites is an important affirmation of our status as the Party of Principle – a party that isn't just another political party, but part of a larger libertarian movement which is made up of an ever-growing number of organizations and people in the United States and around the world who are fighting for freedom and with whom we stand in solidarity.
However while our movement continues to grow, the number of fellow traveler organizations linked from our site has remained about the same since the feature was added in December 2010, going from 18 listings then to just 25 listings currently. [Thanks to the Internet Archive by the way for making this and so much other historical data about our site and many other websites available – see https://web.archive.org/web/20 100601000000*/http://www.LP.org ]
I propose we expand our listings to reflect the growing freedom movement by adding links to the following 35 additional groups and informational resources, including many prominent movement sites that have been too long overlooked, to bring our total number of linked sites to 60 (a round number, divisible by four to nicely fit the formatting of the new site), and request co-sponsors for this motion.

While our listing of libertarian-oriented groups active in the United States or worldwide will remain far from comprehensive with these additions, I believe adding the above groups and sites will showcase the scope and diversity of the freedom movement and help visitors to LP.org explore the movement and increase their understanding of and support for libertarian ideas.
I expect that these groups and websites, especially the less-visited ones, will also appreciate the new traffic they get via our site, and be more favorably disposed toward the Libertarian Party as a result. But as with the article on Scranton Saves, that is not the main reason I believe we should do this. Expressing our solidarity with others in the libertarian movement is simply the right thing to do.
