[Lnc-business] Motion:

[Sam Goldstein]

This motion as proposed is entirely too cumbersome, possibly has unlimited
financial exposure and involves the
entire LNC in voting on things that should be the purview of the
committee.  Why should this committee not be
subject to the budgetary process as are all other committees of the LNC?
Why waste the time of the entire LNC
by voting  on the destruction of various documents?   Who is  going to
enforce the requirement that "all agendas, public meeting minutes, and
public records of the Party shall be made available to the Historic
Preservation Committee."?

I cannot sponsor nor would I vote in favor of this motion in the present
form.  There is probably a need for a Historic Preservation Committee but,
as written, the effort would take an extraordinary amount of time from
staff and LNC members that would be much
better used getting people elected.
