[Lnc-business] EFC Update and Extension

Thu Jan 12 00:28:22 EST 2017

Alicia, I didn't see where ten days was allotted.  As long as that is
clear, I am satisfied on that point.

On the other point- as long as the issue is unresolved, I will mention the
point.   It is not an argument, it is a statement and I think comments made
during the thread warrant it.  And when I feel they do, I will.

In order to get this heard, I will co-sponsor.

Here's where I think we are:

Three of the previous 5 sponsors have effectively withdrawn from the "EFC"
version of the motion, so that no longer qualifies for an email ballot.

Mr. Demarest and Mr. Katz have agreed to co-sponsor the
amend-something-previously-adopted approach that I suggested, but none of
the other co-sponsors of the "EFC" motion have joined yet.  At this point I
will co-sponsor the new version just to try to get us there faster.

If one more person will co-sponsor the new version, I'll get the email
ballot started tonight, and we can get on with it.

There are 5 co-sponsors of this motion, which is more than enough to
sponsor an email ballot, however there are two technical problems with the
wording, one of which is fairly important to note.  I want to make sure the
co-sponsors are aware of this before I send it out for a vote.

1)  This motion references "EFC", but if someone is not reading these
threads as we are, and they're just reading our minutes later, they'll have
no clue what this motion is talking about.  At the time we created the
committee, we didn't specify any name for the committee at all, but it was
under an agenda heading about reviewing the 2016 campaign.  Following the
meeting when I needed to have staff add this committee to our website, I
merely had them designate it as the Committee to Solicit Bids for Reviewing
2016 Campaign.  That way it would be easy to find in our minutes what that
committee was.

The committee members themselves nicknamed it the Empowered Future
Committee (? I think ?), but that name appears nowhere in our minutes, nor
does the acronym EFC.

The name confusion will will leave readers in the dark about what it was
this motion did.

2)  The bigger technical issue with this motion is that it actually imposes
new requirements on the committee and doesn't accurately represent what the
date in the original motion was for.  This wording says nothing about
changing the due date for the bids, which is what the January 10th date
was.  However, the wording now says the committee is to present us a report
by the date of January 30, though the original motion required no report
from the committee to the LNC in January.  If we mean to make the bid
deadline January 30, the committee would presumably need some time after
the bid submission deadline to come up with any recommendations and make
any sort of report back to us about the bids.

Is that what the co-sponsors intended to do?  Impose a new reporting
requirement on an unreasonable time frame?

My suggestion to fix both issues is that you take Joshua's idea to merely
amend the motion we adopted in December to change the date, and leave the
rest of the wording alone.  (Okay, technically Joshua said just to change
the "1" to a "3", but this representation is just a little more readable.)
Amend the motion we adopted in December as follows:

"that the Libertarian National Committee

establish a committee to take bids from political consultants for the task
of

extensively reviewing and making recommendations for the Libertarian
Party’s messaging

(and modes of messaging), inclusion in the debates, fundraising and campaign

finance, campaign mechanics, and state and local affiliates. Said agency
will

agree to present their findings to the public before December of 2017. The
committee

will take bids until the 10th*30th* of January."

I need to hear from the co-sponsors what you want to do.

Larry or Trent,

If you can provide the desired wording, I will offer the motion unless
someone has already done so.

Thoughts?

My recollection is that we chose January 10 so that the bids would be
presented on my birthday.  I'm disappointed we won't be able to receive
them on that auspicious occasion.

I will cosponsor a motion with Sam, however, to amend our previously
adopted motion by substituting a 3 for the 1 in "10."

Hi LNC Team,

Happy New Year.

We have found four possible vendors for proposals. Each has our request and
is scheduled to provide us with a plan/proposal by the end of this week.

We will whittle these down and perhaps have a Q & A and/or a 2nd round
before selecting 2 or 3 of them to present (heir plans with details) to the
LNC.

As I mentioned in a previous note, we will need to extend our deadline.  It
was challenging to get the right vendors who are the right size, with the
right backgrounds,

that are willing to help us with flexible pricing options. And when you add
on the Holiday Season, this was even tougher.

Therefore, with respect, the EFC requests an extension to January 30th to
confidently be able to present options to the LNC.
