[Lnc-business] Update: E-MAIL BALLOT: Hinkle motion to purchase a building

[James Lark]

Dear colleagues:

     I hope all is well with you.  I am writing in my capacity as 
Secretary Pro Tem to provide you with an update about Mark Hinkle's 
first motion (moved by Geoff Neale) concerning the purchase of a building.

1)  I have enclosed below a list of the votes cast so far.  In addition, 
I have enclosed below a list of the voters and the dates on which they 
cast votes.  Please review both lists; please let me know if you find 
any errors.  In particular, if you have voted and your vote has not been 
recorded (or has been recorded incorrectly), please send me your vote 
and forward to me previous messages in which you cast your vote.

     As of this moment, the vote totals are as follows (listed in 
alphabetical order of surname):

Ayes (6):   Cloud, Hinkle, Kirkland, Myers, Redpath, Vohra
Nays (7):  Lark, Mack, Olsen, Starchild, Visek, Wiener, Wrights

Note:  Mr. Goldstein (Region 3 alternate) voted "nay"; his vote is 
superseded by the "nay" vote of Ms. Mack.  Dr. Lieberman (Region 4 
alternate) voted "nay"; I believe his vote is superseded by the "nay" 
vote of Mr. Wiener.  (Mr. Wiener should confirm whether his vote does 
indeed supersede Dr. Lieberman's vote.)  Mr. Frankel (Region 7 
alternate) voted "aye"; his vote is superseded by the aye vote of Mr. Myers.

2)  The voting period closes as of 9:30 p.m. EST this evening (Thursday, 
Jan. 24).  If you wish to vote and have not done so, or if you wish to 
change your vote, please send your vote to me (and the LNC-Business 
list) prior to 9:30 p.m. EST this evening.

3)  Please note that votes submitted to the Secretary are not supposed 
to contain arguments concerning the motion.  Specifically, Section 1.04 
(Electronic Mail Ballot Procedures) of the LNC Policy Manual reads as 
follows:

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.

4)  I am planning to attend the Va. Tech - University of Virginia men's 
basketball game in Blacksburg this evening.  Thus, I shall not be able 
to announce the result of the vote until sometime tomorrow (Friday, Jan. 
25).

     As always, thanks for your work for liberty.  Please do not 
hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance to you.

     Take care,
     Jim

SUBJECT:  E-MAIL BALLOT ON 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 of 20% of the down payment 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 ratified by the 
LNC's Executive Committee by a majority vote once the above conditions 
are met.*
