[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2014-08: Oregon Resolution

[Ron Windeler]

                Some,perhaps a majority of the LNC do not feel that an apology, or even anexpression of regret is appropriate in regards to either group claiming to be theLPO.  Those that do are free toapologize, express their regrets, or get down on their knees and begforgiveness if they want to.  
                Many ofus believe that the members of the convention are the most importantarbitrators of our bylaws and the LNC should take no action that conflicts withtheir decisions.  If someone thinks thatthe convention acted improperly, their appropriate remedy would be an appealor other complaint to our JC.  The LNCdoesn’t have the authority to act contrary to the convention.
                Passingeither of the Oregon motions will not resolve the situation, only complicateit.  There are at least two paths forwardto a unified LPO.  One is my proposalthat the competing chairmen both resign voluntarily and the remaining officersof both groups hold a special convention to elect a new, undisputed LPO groupof officers. The other would be for the LNC to accept the decision of theOregon JC that the Reeves group is the legitimate LPO.  I favor the second solution, as it gives themost respect to the state party.

We have an electronic mail ballot.

 

Votes are due to the LNC-Business list by July 19, 2014 at 11:59:59pm Pacific time.

 

Sponsor:  Chair Nick Sarwark

 

Motion:
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 the Chair of the National Convention incorrectly ruled that it was in order for the convention to vote to seat three delegates in the Oregon delegation over the objection of the affiliate party chair, and

Whereas the motion made did not challenge the report of the Credentials Committee as to who was the affiliate party chair, and

Whereas the convention delegates subsequently voted to seat those delegates over the objection of the delegate chair,

Be it resolved that the Libertarian National Committee apologizes to the Libertarian Party of Oregon for the erroneous ruling of the National Convention Chair.

Alicia Mattson
LNC Secretary
