[Lnc-business] A Motion

[Starchild]

Dave,

	It has been a week since Norm Olsen posted the motion below with sufficient co-sponsors for an email ballot, but unless I somehow missed it, there has been no such ballot. I don't recall during my time on the LNC ever seeing such a long gap between when a motion is properly sponsored and posted and when the secretary sends out the announcement to begin voting on it. I realize we've been voting on another motion, but voting can be open on multiple motions concurrently. Will you please let us know when we can expect the announcement to begin balloting for this motion?

Love & Liberty,
                 ((( starchild )))
At-Large Representative, Libertarian National Committee

> 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.
