FROM:    James W. Lark,  III
Secretary Pro Tem, Libertarian National  Committee
Region 5S Representative, Libertarian National  Committee

SUBJECT:  E-MAIL BALLOT ON REVISED HINKLE MOTION TO  PURCHASE A BUILDING

Text of Motion:

Moved, that the LNC  approve the purchase of an office in the greater 
Washington, D.C. area, to  be named in honor of David F. Nolan, contingent on the 
following  conditions:  
    *   A minimum down  payment of 20% shall be raised from dedicated 
contributions.  If a  portion of that is in the form of pledges, the pledges must 
be converted  to cash before a purchase contract and mortgage agreement are 
 finalized.  
    *   The monthly payment of principal, interest, and OTM (Overhead,  
Taxes, and Maintenance) shall not exceed 75% of our current lease payments  at 
the Watergate complex. 
This motion will  constitute authority to incur a mortgage if the above 
conditions are met and  if this motion passes by the necessary two-thirds vote 
as specified in the  Libertarian Party’s Bylaws. 
The final decision on what property to buy shall be  approved by the LNC's 
Executive Committee by a majority vote once the above  conditions are met.

INFORMATION CONCERNING E-MAIL BALLOT  PROCESS:


>From the Libertarian Party Bylaws:

Article 8,  Section 10:

The National Committee may, without  meeting together, transact business by 
electronic mail. The Secretary shall  send out electronic mail ballots on 
any question submitted by the Chair or  cosponsored by at least 1/5 of the 
members of the Committee. The period for  voting on a question shall remain 
open for ten days, unless all members have  cast votes, or have stated an 
intention to abstain, by electronic mail to  the Secretary. Votes from alternate 
regional representatives will be  counted, in accordance with the ranking 
procedure of the region, only if the  regional representative fails to 
respond to the  ballot.

The number of votes  required for passage of any motion shall be the same 
as that required during  a meeting. The Secretary shall preserve all such 
votes until the next  meeting of the National Committee, at which meeting the 
Committee shall  order the disposition of such votes.


>From the LNC  Policy Manual:

Section 1.04 ELECTRONIC MAIL BALLOT  PROCEDURES

1) Electronic Mail Ballots (endnote  31)

Electronic mail ballots shall not include an  accompanying argument for or 
against passage of the motion. Notification of  an electronic mail ballot 
shall be made by the Secretary by electronic mail.  An LNC Member may change 
his or her vote on an electronic mail ballot,  provided that the change is 
received by the Secretary by the deadline for  return of ballots.
