This committee will be LNC or Alternates in my proposal. We are selected by the delegates or regions to make this type decision, not volunteers who answer to no one.

Sam, I suggest that the motion include a committee selection method (appointed and/or volunteer). Since this will obviously be an important committee of interest to us all, I suggest that the motion specify a minimum of three LNC members and two non-LNC members [substitute your own numbers].

Subject: Re: [Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2017-16: Joe Buchman Donation Yes, I'm working on a motion to create a Candidate Support Committee to be tasked with firstdeveloping a set of guidelines (subject to LNC approval) for LNC contributions to individual candidates other than POTUS. Once the guidelines are approved the committee will submita proposed budget as a new line item for the 2018 LNC Budget then will administer the distributionof funds. The Committee might also be tasked with supporting the new Candidate Support Specialistposition, if we so choose. Any ideas about motion formulation will be appreciated. Live Free,

I'm pretty busy so I don't think I want to commit to direct action on another committee. But as a former campaign manager, and former candidate, I would like to give some suggested guidelines or watermarks. ken On Tue, Jul 18, 2017 at 8:42 PM, David Demarest <dpdemarest at centurylink.net> wrote:I hope I am proved wrong but it looks like we have a vicious circle – Continuing ‘No’ votes on candidate support motions until we develop guidelines and no appointees or volunteers so far to develop guidelines. Am I missing something here? I am sure there are more qualified LNC and LP members but I will volunteer to be part of an effort to develop candidate support guidelines. We will need a strong leader to meet this challenge. Is this a matter of Nick either appointing a committee leader and supporting committee members or soliciting volunteers? I suggest that both LNC and non-LNC members be part of this initiative. Any other volunteers? Might be a good opportunity for new or aspiring LNC members.

Subject: Re: [Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2017-16: Joe Buchman Donation TL; DR - I vote nay on email ballot 2017-16. My thoughts: I find myself in the same situation as I did when the Wicks motion was presented. At that time, promises to come up with a procedure we made (and we even delayed considering a request from Senator Ebke for that procedure to be in place), yet action has yet to materialize. I believe that our first duty is to win elections, and without a process to vet funding requests, we are ill-equipped to determine which campaigns should receive our limited funds. As both Arvin and Sam have outlined my concerns, I don't feel the need to reiterate them. I appreciate Dr. Buchman's many years of service to the Party and as an activist, and I think very highly of him. I also enjoyed seeing his debate performance online, and I think he did a tremendous job of offering a different perspective in that debate. Unfortunately, I believe that we will never create a process for these type of requests if we continue to fulfill them in the ad hoc manner from our limited funds. As such, I must cast a nay vote. I will continue to do so for all candidate funding requests until we've established a process to vet such requests. Brett C.
