 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.
