Sent at the request of the LPCO chair:

**********************************************

To Libertarian National Committee:

The Libertarian Party of Colorado names Richard Longstreth as its Platform
Committee representative.  Mike Seebeck has been named as alternate and
John Pickerill as second alternate.   Ms. Harlos will provide the email
addresses to Ms. Mattson.  Please note that the Board has instructed its
appointees, and they have agreed, to not honor any "secret discussion"
mandate including any email lists. We trust that our appointees will not be
purposefully excluded from any email lists as that would be highly
inappropriate.  In light of what seems to be inappropriate levels of
secrecy on the Bylaws Committee and past issues with lack of transparency,
this instruction was necessary, and the LPCO encourages other state
affiliates to take a similar stand.  This particular LNC (and the past one)
has been very transparent.  Appointed committees should follow suit unless
legal strategy, private personnel issues, security, or other sensitive
strategic issues such as ballot access ground game are at stake.  Bylaws
and Platform discussions do not fall under those topics and secrecy on them
is harmful, leads to distrust, and keeps members from being able to
evaluate performance.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns,
Wayne Harlos, LPCO Chair
