[Lnc-business] Judicial committee

Why start a new committee? Shouldn't this fall under the purview of IT?

I've been thinking about this since the night of the At-Large/JC 
election and I do share Ms. Harlos's frustration. I had perhaps 100 
delegates who were going to support me already leave by the time we got 
to the At-Large election. Complaining about how long balloting and 
tabulation took is already the #1 feedback topic I'm getting from Party 
members.

That said, I agree with Ms. Van Horn that the Convention did perhaps the 
least worst option under the circumstances. I worry that anything we do 
that departs from that, be it putting our own people on or keeping the 
dead hand of the last JC or sending a mail ballot to all Party members 
or some rump thereof, is even more disconnected from the rules we should 
be following and destined to be viewed as illegitimate and post-hoc.

I would like to fix it for next time, as I know many of you do. Taking 
Mr. Goldstein's suggestion, I took a stab at tackling three birds with 
one stone:


WHEREAS, the Libertarian National Convention on July 3, 2018 voted that 
the top vote-getters in the At-Large race fill all available At-Large 
seats on the LNC; and

WHEREAS, Rule 9 directs that the election of Judicial Committee members 
be conducted as the same manner as specified for at-large members of the 
National Committee; and

WHEREAS, LNC action pursuant to Bylaws Article 7, Section 7 would clear 
all potential doubts as to who the new LNC members are;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Joshua Smith, Bill Redpath, and Alicia 
Mattson are added to the LNC as At-Large members for a two-year term; 
and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the LNC acknowledges the election of D. 
Frank Robinson, Chuck Moulton, Darryl Perry, Ruth Bennett, Geoff Neale, 
Jim Turney, and Tricia Sprankle to the Judicial Committee for a 
four-year term; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a special committee be established to 
present a consensus recommendation to the LNC by September 1, 2019 for 
improving the election scheduling, balloting, and tabulation process of 
LNC elections, with said committee to consist of:
(1) the Party Vice-Chair, who will act as chairperson
(2) the Party Secretary
(3) a designee of the Bylaws & Rules Committee
(4) four Party members appointed by the Party Chair, from among the 
various caucuses in the Party.
