[Lnc-business] Previous notice of proposed motion

[Norm Olsen]

Please accept this message as previous notice of my intent to make the
following motion at the September 2014 LNC meeting in Alexandria.

 

Resolved:

The following four changes are hereby made to the Policy Manual of the
Libertarian National Committee: 

1>  Section 2.02-10, titled "Outreach Committee" shall be deleted.

2>  References to the "Outreach Committee" shall be removed from the table
which appear in Section 1.03.

3>  The bullet item "Outreach - Initiatives to reach the general public and
outside groups" listed under Program Expenses in Section 3 (page 28) shall
be deleted.

4>  Table of Contents and Index shall be modified to reflect the above
changes.

 

 

Informal rationale (in lieu of several Whereas's :>)

 

1>  Examination of the current web page shows that the "Outreach Committee"
has no members (i.e. membership is "TBD").  I suspect that there has been no
significant activity in this area (as described in the Policy Manual) for
the last four years.

2>  Reference to the "Outreach Committee" in Section 3 implies that funds
are to be allocated for this function in the annual budget even though there
have been no expenditures that I am aware of over the last four years.
Availability of funding is always tight. If we are to allocate funds, let's
allocate funds to committees which will do something with the funds.

3>  Rather than trying to do many things (all of which are well intentioned)
in a half-assed manner, let's plan to do only a couple of things but do them
well.  That is, lets fully fund the things that are really crucial and drop
those that are not crucial.

4>  When the financial squeeze eases and we find individuals willing to
commit resources to these worthwhile efforts, we can add this back in to the
policy manual.

5>  But for now let's not allocate very scarce resources to an effort in
which there is very limited interest.

Subject: [Lnc-business] Affiliate Support Committee Chair and Solicitation
of Additional Members

 

All,

I have selected Guy McLendon as Chair of the Affiliate Support Committee.
Per the current policy manual, Mr. McLendon will select three additional
members from a pool of LNC Regional Representatives or Regional Alternates.
If you are a Regional or Alternate Representative interested in serving on
the Affiliate Support Committee, you are encouraged to contact Mr. McLendon
at  <mailto:guy.mclendon at lp.org> guy.mclendon at lp.org or by phone at
832-372-8131 for consideration.

 

 

Three additional members of the committee are selected by the Libertarian
State Leadership Alliance.  The LSLA selected members of the committee must
be members of the Libertarian Party, but do not have any other constraints I
am aware of.  If you know of anyone who would be a good candidate or you are
an At-Large or Officer LNC member and would like to be on the committee,
please contact the LSLA Chair, Leigh LaChine at
<mailto:leigh.lachine at lpalabama.org> leigh.lachine at lpalabama.org for
consideration.

 

 

Yours in liberty,

Nick
