[Lnc-business] requesting co-sponsors to appeal Chair's ruling

[Alicia Mattson]

I am requesting co-sponsors to appeal the Chair's ruling that a person's
purchase of a convention package should count as a gift for purposes of
determining sustaining membership.  Recall that the motion for an appeal is
phrased as a motion to sustain/uphold the chair's ruling, even though my
already-stated position is to not overturn it.

Therefore I am seeking co-sponsors for the following motion:

To sustain the Chair's ruling that a person's purchase of a convention
package in the prior twelve months meets the requirement of Bylaws Article
5.3 that a sustaining member must have "given at least $25 to the Party in
the prior twelve months".

I interpret Norm's previous statements as his being willing to co-sponsor
this motion unless he tells me otherwise.  So two other co-sponsors (or the
chair) would be needed.
