[Lnc-business] LP Puerto Rico motion

[Patrick McKnight]

I make the following motion on behalf of Dr. Phillies:

"Whereas, our Bylaws provide "The National Committee shall charter
state-level affiliate parties from any qualifying organization
requesting such status in each state, territory and the District of
Columbia (hereinafter, state)" and

Whereas no affiliate is currently recognized from any of the inhabited
Territories of the United States,

Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Libertarian National Committee
encourages the Partido Libertario de Puerto Rico (Libertarian Party of
Puerto Rico) to prepare for and apply to become an affiliate of our
Libertarian Party, and

Be It Further Resolved, that the Libertarian National Committee encourages
the Libertarians in America's other Territories to organize themselves as
Libertarian political groups that advance to apply for affiliate status,

and Be it Further Resolved, that the Libertarian national Committee directs
its appointees to the 2018 National Convention Bylaws Committee to create
and support a Bylaws amendment establishing delegate representation for all
Party Sustaining members who do not live in a current affiliate."

Thanks,
Patrick McKnight
Region 8 Rep
