[Lnc-business] September meeting, prior to asking for co-requestors

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Dr. Lark and committee:

The PM requires 1/3 not 1/2 so I believe it appropriate if 1/3 requests so
I do not intend to withdraw my call.  Further the members of my region have
shared my sentiment and I serve their interests.

While in theory all of this could be done in email, the reality of the
practice is starkly different.  If members wish to convince me otherwise
then let's have real discussions here on list on these issues with full
participation.  The fact is that most discussions here are largely ignored
and fall into an institutional vortex.  Even if I speak alone, that is
something I will rail against and this has been this far the desire of the
region who elected me.  And if I am anything, it is zealous to be a
faithful representative.

Let's get my transparency proposal to a vote and I will be convinced this
can be handled by email.  I have had three aborted tries to even get a full
discussion on it.

Until we really start - everyone - consistently and fully articulating on
this list. I will not believe this an efficient way to run party business
between the overly long time frame in between meetings.
