[Lnc-business] Request for email ballot co-sponsors for Oregon resolution

[Daniel Wiener]

I move to adopt the following resolution, and request co-sponsors for an
email ballot:

*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, a dispute over the Oregon delegation was placed before the
Credentials Committee, which subsequently presented a report to the
Libertarian Party National Convention on June 27, 2014 which did not
describe the details of that dispute, and*

*Whereas, a motion was made to amend the Credentials Committee report to
include three individuals as delegates within the Oregon delegation, and*

*Whereas, in response to a Point of Order the Chair of the National
Convention ruled that the proposed amendment was in order, the Chair’s
ruling was appealed, the Chair’s ruling was sustained by a vote of the
assembly, and the assembly subsequently approved the amendment, and*

*Whereas, the 11th edition of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised, which
is the Parliamentary Authority for the Libertarian Party as stated in
Article 16 of its Bylaws, states (p. 483) that “In any event, no action of
the board can alter or conflict with any decision made by the assembly of
the society, and any such action of the board is null and void (see p. 577,
II. 23-33).”, and *

*Whereas, the Libertarian National Committee nevertheless regrets the
situation wherein some delegates believe the above decision was incorrectly
decided, therefore*

*Be it resolved that it is the sense of the Libertarian National Committee
that it wishes to convey those regrets to the Libertarian Party of Oregon.*
