[Lnc-business] [Lnc-discuss] Fwd: [Strategy] Okay - let's get the ball rolling - MOTION

[Starchild]

	James Lark is one of the most polite and respectful people I know, and obviously has past experience chairing meetings, so I'm sure he would do an excellent job facilitating. I've also been involved with groups where we had a different person facilitating at each separate meeting, and this works quite well. Giving everyone involved the opportunity to have the experience of leading discussion can produce a more cooperative and dynamic atmosphere.

Love & Liberty,
                                  ((( starchild )))

P.S. - I'm not on the strategy list because I do not wish to pledge to keep secrets from our membership without a much better rationale for doing so than I have seen so far in this case. However that does not mean I have no interest in whatever may be discussed (if I had no interest, I would not have volunteered my time to take part in our initial strategy discussion in Las Vegas), so I'm glad to see Lee caught himself and posted this motion here on the non-secret LNC list where it belongs (although being a motion, I suppose the LNC-business list would be an even more appropriate place for it, so I'm responding to that list).
