    Dear Chairman Neale:
    
        I hope all is well with you.  I am writing to mention that as of    8:00 p.m. EST last night (Sunday, Jan. 12), I did not receive any    proposed changes to the draft minutes of the Executive Committee    meeting on Dec. 29, 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

LNC Executive Committee meeting
      Libertarian National Committee
      December 29, 2013
        
      Minutes  
      
      Date of approval:  Jan. 12, 2014 
        
      Mr. Neale called the meeting to        order at 12:16 p.m. (EST).   
        
      Executive Committee members in        attendance:  Geoff Neale        (chair), Lee Wrights (vice chair), Jim Lark (assistant secretary        and Region 5S representative), Bill Redpath (at-large        representative), and Dan Wiener (Region 4 representative).
      
      Starchild (at-large        representative), Vicki Kirkland (Region 2 representative), and        Gary Johnson (Region 7 representative) were present.    
      
      Mr.Neale        indicated that he had distributed two proposed motions shortly        before the scheduled time of the teleconference.  He said that the first        proposed motion is a modification of that which he had        distributed on Dec. 28; the modifications were in response to        comments from LNC members.  The        second proposed motion is an amended version of the first        proposed motion; the amendments were in response to a request on        the evening of Dec. 28 by Brett Pojunis (Region 4        representative) for reimbursement.
        
      Mr.Redpath        moved (Mr. Wiener seconded) the second proposed motion, which is        as follows:
        
      Whereas many LNC members and            those with committee-related duties experienced financial            costs due to the weather-related cancelation of the December            7th LNC meeting, and the subsequent rescheduling            to December 14th; 
        
      Whereas LP members donated or            pledged $3,652, and the Chair is authorizing the expenditure            of $1,000 from the Chair’s discretionary fund, as defined in            the Policy Manual, resulting in a total available            reimbursement pool of $4,652;
        
      Whereas certain individuals            have requested reimbursement for $917.68 less than their            total expenses;
        
      Whereas the sum of expenses            reported to the Treasurer total $7,106.66, with a sum of            requested reimbursements totaling $6,863.75; 
        
      Whereas the Executive            Committee finds that participants will be eligible for            reimbursement for travel expenses, excluding baggage fees,            and actual hotel costs incurred at the Hyatt DFW airport for            up to two nights at a rate of $110.88 per night, and parking            expenses, resulting in a total eligible reimbursement amount            of $5,859.39, after netting out the $917.68 in voluntarily            absorbed costs; 
        
      Whereas there are            insufficient funds available to fully reimburse all            requesting reimbursement;
        
      Therefore, be it resolved            that reimbursement shall be according to the following            procedure:
        
      ·         Each participant shall pay            the first $100 of their expenses, or the sum of their            expenses that they have volunteered to personally absorb,            whichever is higher.
      
      ·         Each participant shall be            reimbursed for their remaining expenses, up to $767 per            member.
      
      ·         All expenses in excess of            $867 shall be absorbed by the participant.
        
      Such distribution will amount            to a total reimbursement of $4,652.13, with participants            personally absorbing the remaining $2,211.62.

      After        discussion, Mr. Neale asked whether any EC members objected to        his use of the Chair’s discretionary fund in this manner.  Dr. Lark indicated that        while he believes such use is within the chair’s prerogative and        thus does not object, his preference is that the chair not use        the fund for this purpose.  Mr.        Wrights indicated that he trusts the chair to serve as a careful        steward of the Party’s funds, and that he does not object.  Mr. Redpath and Mr. Wiener        stated that they do not object.
        
      Mr.        Neale asked whether there was objection to proceeding to a vote;        there was no objection.  The        motion was approved by a vote of 5 ayes and 0 nays.
        
      Withoutobjection,        the meeting adjourned at 12:28 p.m. (EST).
