Good Morning All, I believe that while the Chair had reasons to remove Mr. Hayes, the reasons communicated were largely differences of opinion on direction. Being that the CoC and LNC seem equally aligned to provide for the option of hybrid style convention proceedings and it was already down the pipes previously, I believe reinstating Mr. Hayes would not be harmful. Quite to the contrary, removing the Chair of the CoC on such short notice is not a move I would recommend due to the short time until convention. Unless their are charges of gross misconduct, I do not believe it was a wise move. I do believe the new CoC Chair to be competent, however, and I support her progress regardless of the outcome of this motion. As such, after much deliberation, I will be voting No. In Liberty, Steven Nekhaila Region 2 Representative Libertarian National Committee Impotentes defendere libertatum non possunt "Those without power cannot defend freedom" On 2020-06-06 03:01 AM, Alicia Mattson via Lnc-business wrote:

EMAIL BALLOT 200531-1 APPEAL FROM THE RULING OF THE CHAIR CONCERNING REMOVAL OF DANIEL HAYES FROM THE COC
We have an electronic mail ballot.
Votes are due to the LNC-Business list by June 7, 2020 at 11:59:59 pm Pacific time.
Co-Sponsors: Goldstein, Harlos, Longstreth, Phillips, Smith
=============================================
Motion: The Chair has ruled he can not only remove Daniel Hayes as CoC chair but also from the committee entirely. Harlos appeals from the ruling of the chair that he can remove Hayes from the committee without CoC approval since appointment required CoC approval.
=============================================
THRESHOLD REQUIRED: A majority vote is required to overturn the ruling of the chair.
