[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2018-11: ACKNOWLEDGE ELECTION OF JC

I'd like to remind new members to listen to your constituency. If you're 
a Region Rep, that means your regional members, state affiliate 
officers, etc.  For At-Large, that means *all* the LP members are your 
constituency, so a broad spectrum feedback might give you information on 
what the LP body wishes.

Also, I'll say that some of the feedback I'm getting from Region 3 says 
that they'd be fine with *no* Judicial Committee.  This feedback came 
from a State Chair and a State VC, in Region 3, and officers of two 
other state affiliates in the region. The 'no Judicial Committee" 
option, means we just don't have a JC, and then in 2020, during a 
regular convention, the delegate body elects a new Judicial Committee.

NO ONE has suggested that the LNC conduct a mail ballot of the former 
delegates at the convention, and I'd also be against that method, as 
that *would* be the LNC trying to orchestrate an outcome, as we already 
had a delegate vote regarding the JC.  That would be the LNC 
disregarding the delegate body and votes that we all saw happen at 
convention.  The way to respect the delegate body, is to either approve 
the top seven JC candidates, or have no JC until the 2020 convention can 
elect that committee.  The former would be giving voice to the delegate 
body, and the latter would also be giving voice, while recognizing that 
the delegate voting procedure didn't finalize a committee.
