[Lnc-business] Notice of proposed motion

[Norm Olsen]

Please consider this message as "previous notice" of the following motion to
be made at the September 2014 meeting in Alexandria:

 

Resolved:

1>     The 2018 national convention of the Libertarian National Committee
(LNC) will be held on the Memorial Day weekend of 2018 (25 thru 28 May
2018).

2>     The schedule of official business of the 2018 national convention of
the LNC shall consist of 2½ days, commencing on the morning of Saturday, May
26, 2018  and adjourning by 2PM on Monday, May 28, 2018.

3>     We, the LNC, would prefer to have a private entity produce the
convention and, in that regard, hereby directs the Chair and staff to
solicit bids from such private organizations.  Such bids must be
sufficiently detailed per Executive Director specifications and received by
the Executive Director by close of business at the Alexandria office on May
1, 2015.

4>     Regardless of whether the LNC accepts a bid by a private organization
or not, the LNC shall choose the specific venue of the 2018 convention at,
or prior to, the last LNC meeting in 2015.

 

Informal rationale (in lieu of a whole slew of Whereas’s :>):

1>     Attendance statistics suggest that attendance of an off-year
convention on the Memorial Day weekend is significantly greater than
conventions on other dates.

2>     A convention prior to the commencement of summer activities and
following most final exams would enable more students to attend.

3>     A shorter convention on a holiday weekend will cost delegates
significantly less in base financial costs, and even greater savings in
“lost work” opportunity costs.

4>     A private organization which produces a convention can (and usually
do) accept corporate sponsorships and engage in other activities which would
reduce the cost of the actual convention to both the party and its
delegates.

5>     Either way, we need to make a decision as soon as reasonably
possible.  Actually, we should already be looking at preparations
(soliciting bids?) for the 2020 convention.

Subject: [Lnc-business] Upcoming LNC Meeting - previous notice requirements,
agenda item requests, and reports

 

All,

 

A reminder that if you intend to introduce a motion at the upcoming LNC
meeting with previous notice, you'll need to send complete language of any
such motion to the LNC business list no later than September 6, 2014.

 

If you would like an item added to the agenda for the meeting, please send
me an email with the agenda item, a brief description, and the time you are
requesting.  The agenda is of course amendable at the meeting, but
everything will go more smoothly and quickly if most items are included in
the proposed agenda.

 

I will distribute a proposed agenda to the LNC no later than September 13,
2014.  I would ask that any written reports from regional representatives
and officers be sent by that date as well to ensure all members have
sufficient time to review them prior to the in-person meeting.

 

Thanks,

Nick
