[Lnc-business] Libertarian Youth Caucus Report

Fri Dec 9 18:36:15 EST 2016

I agree with Caryn Ann and Joshua, and as is the case with them, I also
mean no negativity towards Trent's effort and willingness to provide us
with info.  I have a similar position about asking for reports of the
Platform/Bylaws/Credentials Committees in our meetings, which is why I make
this comment at the start of every time these committees are asked to
report to the LNC.  These committees are created by and report to the
convention delegates, not to the LNC.  The LNC has a role in appointing
some of the members of these committees, but that's it.  I think they
should only be on LNC agendas when the LNC is making its allotted
appointments to them.  The reports don't tend to burn a lot of time at our
meetings, but it muddies the water for deciding what is/isn't LNC business.
