[Lnc-business] Email ballot 2013-04: Delegation of LNC authority to EC

[Geoffrey Neale]

I vote Nay.

 

I cannot support this language because it does not provide for circumstances where the LNC votes to delegate its authority through a legitimate motion.  It would require the LNC to alter the Policy Manual in such cases in the future.

Subject: [Lnc-business] Email ballot 2013-04: Delegation of LNC authority to EC

 

Moved by Mr. Olsen (co-sponsors Starchild, Vohra, 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.

 

Voting on this motion concludes at 11:59 PM Eastern time on June 5, 2014. Please reply directly to this email on the LNC Business list with your vote.
