[Lnc-business] Platform and Bylaws application

[Whitney Bilyeu]

Regardless of what transpired between the members involved so far, I could
support the inclusion of an OPTIONAL item regarding the applicant's basic
understanding of our Party's principles.

Could it could be as simple as "Briefly describe what libertarianism means
to you...."?

Last LNC meeting we decided to solicit applications for the LNC appointed
members of the Bylaws and Platform Committees and some discussion arose on
what should be included in the application request.  The final
responsibility for getting a notice out and organizing responses lies with
the Party Secretary but Nick directed that as far as content that we should
work it out amongst ourselves.  To that end I volunteered to work with
Alicia.  We have communicated but I am not satisfied that the result was
working it out amongst ourselves. The result was that nothing was
substantially changed from years past.

Arvin and I (and I believe at least Starchild and David concur) believe
that a request for a brief understanding of Libertarian philosophy should
be included.  I softened that request to be in line with the way the form
is currently written to be a "suggestion" (rather than a requirement)  for
such along with other suggestions that the applicant could choose among.
This was rejected and I just don't think that is a reasonable way to work
it out amongst ourselves.  The result is no different than if I didn't
volunteer input.

I would like other members to weigh in on this.  I'm not trying to be
difficult but I just don't think reasonable requests should be summarily
rejected.
