  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.. 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.
    b.. 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.
