[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2016-10: Rescind Contract Authority

[David Demarest]

Alicia: I vote YES on the: “Motion:  to rescind the authority granted to the Chair to negotiate and execute a campaign contract and the Joint Fundraising Agreement and rescind any signatures already executed.”

 

Starchild: Thank you for providing the “early draft” of the LNC/campaign agreement in question. I did a quick 10-minute perusal of the draft. I have no formal legal training or experience. From a common sense perspective, nothing jumped out that suggested the need for confidentiality. However, drafts are drafts and we don’t know what we don’t know leaving us groping around in a murky, uneasy information vacuum. While I do not see this motion as a nuclear option, pursuing such an action this late in the campaign raises the risk threshold. Nevertheless, now is the time to get our LNC transparency bylaws house in order and take back our responsibility as a committee to authorize the chair to execute contractual agreements that put the LNC as a body at risk. Accordingly, I vote YES on the “Motion to Rescind” in order to correct our earlier abdication of our fiduciary responsibilities regarding contract approval.

There is apparently an early draft of the contract between the Libertarian Party and the Johnson/Weld campaign online here:

I'm curious whether anyone sees anything in this draft agreement that they think ought to be kept secret, and if so, what and why? If you think material may have been added later that ought to be kept secret, what kinds of topics do you think it addresses and what is it about that material that demands secrecy, in your opinion?
