Craig Bowden, I will not be participating in any discussions, ballot
sponsorships, or votes on this issue so please take part as the de
facto Region 1 rep in any that ensue.

I brought the situation to the California LP Executive
Committee's
attention in the hopes they would correct it by withdrawing their
appointment, but they did not. Possibly because it was by then
too late
for a state affiliate to make a new appointment. That being the
case, I
think we should act to correct the situation on our end.
I move that the Libertarian National Committee withdraw its
appointment
of Aaron Starr to the Platform Committee, and ask for seconds.

The Platform Committee met this past weekend. Mr. Starr wore the

alternate.
There was no confusion. Two different people participated and
voted
from the two different appointing bodies, each getting one vote on
each
question.

Hello I am writing in my capacity as Platform Committee
Chair.
As the
LNC knows, we appointed Aaron Starr as LNC alternate, and as
you
may
not know, subsequent to that date California named Aaron
Starr
as
their
primary appointee resulting in him holding two seats: LNC
Alternate and
CA primary.
Since that time, LNC appointee Jeffrey Miron has resigned
leaving
a
vacancy on the LNC appointments. It seems to me that then
Mr.
Starr
would then move into that spot and it seems everyone agrees
on
that,
but this results in Mr. Starr in effect holding two primary
appointments, that of LNC and that of California. This can
affect
voting, gives a potential strategic advantage to Mr. Starr,
and
leaves
the current California alternate unsure if she is now the
primary
or
not. She has not communicated that to me this is my own
independent
observation (she is a difficult position as she is now the
LPCA
Chair). Mr. Starr has informed me that he has not vacated
any
seat
and thus holds the two positions. The Committee has decided
that
there
is nothing in RONR or our Bylaws that prevents this
situation.
At this point, it is in the purview of the appointing bodies
(the
LNC
and California) to decide if they wish to ask, require a
choice,
leave
things be, or some other option available to them. I am
cc'ing
this
information to the California Chair Ms. Robson to forward to
her
EC if
she wishes.
If there is any change please let me know.
