[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2014-08: Oregon Resolution

[Alicia Mattson]

We have an electronic mail ballot.

*Votes are due to the LNC-Business list by July 19, 2014 at 11:59:59pm
Pacific time.*

*Sponsor:*  Chair Nick Sarwark

*Motion:*
Whereas, the Bylaws of the Libertarian Party state that “delegates to a
Regular Convention shall be selected by a method adopted by each affiliate
party” (Article 11, 3 (b)), and

Whereas, the Bylaws of the Libertarian Party state that “each state-level
affiliate party shall, in accordance with its own Bylaws and these Bylaws,
determine who shall be its delegates to all Regular Conventions.” (Article
6, 3), and

Whereas, the Bylaws of the Libertarian Party state that “the autonomy of
the affiliate and sub-affiliate parties shall not be abridged by the
National Committee or any other committee of the Party…” (Article 6, 5), and

Whereas the Chair of the National Convention incorrectly ruled that it was
in order for the convention to vote to seat three delegates in the Oregon
delegation over the objection of the affiliate party chair, and

Whereas the motion made did not challenge the report of the Credentials
Committee as to who was the affiliate party chair, and

Whereas the convention delegates subsequently voted to seat those delegates
over the objection of the delegate chair,

Be it resolved that the Libertarian National Committee apologizes to the
Libertarian Party of Oregon for the erroneous ruling of the National
Convention Chair.
