Elizabeth, by all means, represent what you feel is the will of your region, just as I am doing.
  The only part of my reply specifically directed at you was the first 2 paragraphs, which only addressed your statement about the legalities.
*for those tired of reading on this subject, it is about to get TLDR, skip to the end or just skip if you like*
Having said that, I did receive several responses echoing your statement regarding those legality/rules issues.  However, those same replies also expressed dissatisfaction in the results.  They responded that while those MAY represent the rules, they could see multiple interpretations.  Most importantly it was unanimously and unambiguously expressed that having NO JC was never anyone's intent or desire, and that needed to be fixed somehow.
I also feel compelled to point out that those same thoughts have been echoed to me from Libertarian friends across the country, including a large number in your region where I have many friends and family.  
 While this response has not been unanimous, it has been far more than those who support the rules saying no JC, and again most importantly even those who agree with that interpretation follow up with that not being their intent or desire.  The ones I reached out to were all delegates, and I received lots of voluntary input from others.

I even agree that is a possible interpretation of the rules. 100% correct that on the surface the rules can be read that way.  However, I also point out we are way beyond those rules as there are: A) other interpretationsB) the very real interpretation that we also have to take into account that those rules never took this situation into accountC) having no JC is most definitely a violation of the SPIRIT and intent of those rules abd the people who drafted them.D) again, we are Libertarians and being able to recognize rules and laws that failed, then do something about it is who we are! Or at least supposed to be.
The intent and desire to have a JC has been close to unanimous, excepting a few hardcore anarchists who would vote NOTA on almost everything.  As has the desire to get it done and move on.  The only debate has been method. The largest # I have seen has supported some wording or other of taking top 7 with or without LNC approval.  
A smaller # tho still significant likes an email ballot (tho very few want multiple rounds to reach a majority as per Ms Harlos' suggestion, most want just one round with take top 7 or no JC as the options). Most from region 1.
The no JC at all # does exist, mostly from 8, 5, and 3.
A very large percentage want us to just shut up and let it ride with the JC's recommendation/decision. From all over.
Did I poll every delegate? No, but well over 400 directly or watching their interactions on the subject.

So all that being TLDR. I stand by my stance, not just in my region, but nationally.  I will accept the JC that has formed (however you want to phrase it coming about) and abide by their rulings.

I'd replied to John Phillips, he's the Region 6 rep.   

Also, I've already stated my position.  I'd wanted to have the LNC approve the top seven, I co-sponsored that motion.  Only, when took the discussion to my region, multiple members, including officers, state chairs, VCs, etc, of Region 3 were adamant that under our bylaws there's no JC, and no way to get one.  Me stating this on the LNC email list is just that, me stating what my region has said, and wants.

What I have done is point out that another regional rep isn't speaking for my region.   

As for my reply to the LNC Secretary, the same.  An officer has a particular role, otherwise, they have one vote, same as anyone on the LNC.  The LNC secretary asked people to confer with the registered parliamentarian, and I have, and I've also read his views on this subject.  I went through the bylaws carefully, and got feedback from an officer in my own state affiliate, officers from the other state affiliates in my region, etc.  My statements are the result of listening to the members in my region.  I've done due diligence on this issue.

First off, the person you said that to is an Officer. Therefore, her Region in is the entirety of membership and she IS expressing her thoughts from her 'region'. Your words give off the air of flippancy and are borderline offensive to me as one whom the comments were not directed toward. This is not how we should be interacting as officers and certainly not a way to advance the Party. We need to work together, not have an attitude of every region for themselves.
 
Secondly, there is a difference between our Regions, EVH. Mine says that the Top 7 are the JC yours says that we don't have a JC. Both situations cannot exist simultaneously and this NEEDS to be resolved and finalized for all members. I cannot tell my states that a JC exists for Region 1 but not for Region 3; that is absurd.
 
Finally, I have dropped this discussion if we acknowledge that the JC exists and is the Top 7 - something I abstained from orginally, but see as the only logical solution going forward. If not, we need to discuss this further which is the will of neither of our regions or that of the general membership. Most want to move on from the issue. The LNC as a body did not approve the Top 7. The former JC came up with a solution and that is to put the Top 7 in place. If we, as an LNC or Regional Representative do not acknowledge that solution we are creating a deep divide in the Party. 
 
Thoughts? Please do not turn this personal. I want to work with you to find a resolution that suits all parties involved.

    Shrug.  If I wanted to take it to a court of law I would have a 50/50
    shot imho, and that of the 8 lawyers I asked to look at it.  Some of
    them thought they could win maybe 70%.
 
 
    So i would say the argument for them being the JC is as good as the
    argument against.
 
 
    However, the vast majority seem to want them from what I see, so I fail
    to see the issue that people keep making of this. Just accept it and
    move on, it is what we should have done from the beginning.
 
 
    On a personal note. Are we not Libertarians?  I find the arguments of
    rules and legality disturbingly dogmatic.  We argue all the time about
    changing bad laws and rules that have created a problem, but when it
    comes down to our rules failing we can't adjust? Seems sort of
    hypocritical to me, actually far more than sort of.
 
    So my stance is this.  I stand opposed to anything that continues to
    drag this out.  I stand opposed to anything other than accepting the
    recommendation of the previous JC and what appears to me to be the will
    of vast majority of our constituents.  The correct route in my not so
    humble opinion is that we accept them, get the hell out of the way,
    move on, and hope we don't need them like the last LNC didn't.

        no JC.
        I'm not sure what you're going on about. I'm not arguing. Nor, am
     I
        doing anything, other than stating what my region thinks.
        You do your region, and I'll do mine.

        Shrug.  If I wanted to take it to a court of law I would have a
     50/50
        shot imho, and that of the 8 lawyers I asked to look at it.  Some
     of
        them thought they could win maybe 70%.
        So i would say the argument for them being the JC is as good as
     the
        argument against.
        However, the vast majority seem to want them from what I see, so
     I fail
        to see the issue that people keep making of this. Just accept it
     and
        move on, it is what we should have done from the beginning.
        On a personal note. Are we not Libertarians?  I find the
     arguments of
        rules and legality disturbingly dogmatic.  We argue all the time
     about
        changing bad laws and rules that have created a problem, but when
     it
        comes down to our rules failing we can't adjust? Seems sort of
        hypocritical to me, actually far more than sort of.
        So my stance is this.  I stand opposed to anything that continues
     to
        drag this out.  I stand opposed to anything other than accepting
     the
        recommendation of the previous JC and what appears to me to be
     the will
        of vast majority of our constituents.  The correct route in my
     not so
        humble opinion is that we accept them, get the hell out of the
     way,
        move on, and hope we don't need them like the last LNC didn't.

     They can disagree all they want.   But, there's no authority for
     them.
