[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2014-10: Oregon Resolution v2

[Scott L.]

"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."
