[Lnc-business] Minutes of the Jan. 28 EC meeting

[James Lark]

Dear Chairman Neale:

     I hope all is well with you.  I am writing to mention that as of 
3:25 p.m. EST on Tuesday (Feb. 12), I did not receive any proposed 
changes to the draft minutes of the Executive Committee meeting on Jan. 
28, 2013.  Thus, according to the procedure specified in the Policy 
Manual (specifically, Section 1.02.06), those draft minutes now stand 
approved as the minutes of the meeting.

     I have enclosed the minutes below, as well as Section 1.02.06 of 
the Policy Manual; please note that I am sending a copy of this message 
to the LNC-Business list to provide our colleagues with a copy of the 
minutes.  In a separate message I shall send the minutes to the LPHQ 
staff for inclusion on the LP.org website.

     As always, thanks for your work for liberty.  Please do not 
hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments regarding 
this matter.

     Take care,
     Jim
