Starchild,

Was this requirement listed in the bylaws under the duties of the LNC members?

There's nothing that says such service can't come with any requirements related to upholding the values of our organization. Transparency is not a "fetish", it is a basic principle of good governance!

We as an organization failed to solicit and post the information from them or give them a means to add it.

Some of our volunteers may have specific situations (perhaps they have a stalker ?) that may have another reason to not have it listed.  Or some female volunteers just don't want their phone number listed...

If a member does not have a phone number or email address listed at which he or she can be contacted by party members, it is because the individual chose not to provide that information.
