[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2017-03: Cuban Arrests

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

If only our government's intervention was as benign as ours.

But I think caution warranted so I will inquire more of NV and while I
would put my own name to it, I am heeding the counsel of my colleagues and
change my vote to

Abstain

Until I see if there is more information to commit the organization's voice
to it.
