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, a dispute over the Oregon delegation was  placed before the 
Credentials Committee, which subsequently presented a report  to the Libertarian 
Party National Convention on June 27, 2014 which did not  describe the 
details of that dispute, and

Whereas, a motion was made to  amend the Credentials Committee report to 
include three individuals as  delegates within the Oregon delegation, and

Whereas, in response to a  Point of Order the Chair of the National 
Convention ruled that the proposed  amendment was in order, the Chair’s ruling was 
appealed, the Chair’s ruling  was sustained by a vote of the assembly, and 
the assembly subsequently  approved the amendment, and

Whereas, the 11th edition of Robert’s Rules  of Order Newly Revised, which 
is the Parliamentary Authority for the  Libertarian Party as stated in 
Article 16 of its Bylaws, states (p. 483) that  “In any event, no action of the 
board can alter or conflict with any decision  made by the assembly of the 
society, and any such action of the board is null  and void (see p. 577, II. 
23-33).”, and

Whereas, the Libertarian  National Committee nevertheless regrets the 
situation wherein some delegates  believe the above decision was incorrectly 
decided, therefore

Be it  resolved that it is the sense of the Libertarian National Committee 
that it  wishes to convey those regrets to the Libertarian Party of  Oregon.

LNC Secretary
