[Lnc-business] A Motion

[Geoffrey Neale]

Mr. Olsen, it is not a matter of it being best to wait to vote until the
Secretary has published the mail ballot, it is a matter of the Bylaws. Any
voting prior to the Secretary initiating the mail ballot are not valid, and
will not be counted.

 

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.

Subject: [Lnc-business] A Motion

 

A motion sponsored by Norm Olsen, Starchild, Arvin Vohra, and Brett Pojunis:

 

Whereas the primary purpose of the LNC in delegating its authority to an
Executive Committee is to enable the Executive Committee to respond promptly
to events and conditions which require immediate and/or urgent attention;
and

 

Whereas the membership of the party is entitled to know how all of its
officers and representatives stand on all matters concerning the operation
of the party, and especially the disbursement of funds, to the largest
degree reasonable; 

 

Therefore, it is resolved that section 1.01, sub-section 3, of the Policy
Manual is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph to the reference
sub-section:

 

This delegation of authority is made solely as a means for the LNC to act
promptly in such cases that immediate action is necessary to reduce or avoid
a potential harm or to gain or enhance a specific benefit.  Unless otherwise
specifically excepted elsewhere in this manual, the Executive Committee
shall not conduct business:

.                     for which there is no need for immediate or urgent
action, or

.                     which could have otherwise been considered by the
entire LNC without potentially incurring harm or losing benefits.

 

It is probably best to wait for certification by the Secretary before voting
on this motion.
