An independent audit makes sense. Of both. While I think we need to get it done and move on, an audit to ensure transparency and correctness of the vote I would fully support.

I have been in contact with at least one state chair in the last 6 hours
who has asked why we aren't doing an independent audit and his thoughts
resonate with my own in terms of transparency and fairness.
Imagine if this was a government function and the person who an election by
a narrow margin was the only one auditing. I am interested in preserving
the integrity of the LNC and the only way to do this is with an independent
audit. While I appreciate Alicia's efforts, I think it proper that she
turns the task over.
I motion to see that the LNC would have an audit of the At Large ballots
done by an independent auditor, ie someone not in the race. Do I have
co-sponsors?

The Utah Chair would like a timeline. He feels ignored.
And I don't think a timeline is unreasonable - such as "Dr.

That is all I am asking. I think this going on the attack here

Ms. Harlos,
I indicated before that I would be traveling with
a
full
schedule
and
only sporadic internet access, and would not
return to
my
more
normal
routine until Monday. I got home from my trip
Sunday
night,
and
starting in the wee hours of Monday morning you
started
the
"Are
we
there yet?" messages about the At-Large details.
Then
throughout
the
day it became rather unfair characterizations
that I
was
saying
"well,
whenever" as though I'm blowing it off. That
tone is
not
warranted nor
appreciated.
Yes, the state-by-state numbers that add up to
the
totals
I
sent
do
exist, but providing that will not be the end of
the
story.
If
all I
send is that, immediately the questions will
begin
about
the
instances
where those numbers vary from the delegation
tally
sheets
because
we
caught and corrected errors. Then while I am
researching
to
answer
those questions, we all know the internet gossip
will
get
silly,
with
people not being careful to say only things they
know
to
be
true
while
waiting on answers to the questions.
My usual practice is to do the post-convention
audit as
part
of
building the convention minutes, which is near
the end
of
my
to-do list
after having updated other minutes with timing
deadlines,
policy,
bylaws, platform, etc. Instead, so I can answer
most
questions
on
at-large before they are asked, because there was
a
very
close
outcome
that involves me, I've prioritized the audit of
the
At-Large
race
to do
it mostly first...though I did also send updated
minutes
to
meet
a
posting deadline and update the Policy Manual
earlier.
When I provide the state-by-state numbers, I'll
scan
the
state
tally
sheets, plus provide my notes about what's
different
between
the
two
and why so that those questions can be addressed
simultaneously
in one
message, rather than being spread out in
different
places
at
different
times where people might miss some of it.
You're well aware of how long it took a team of
10
people
to
go
through
the Judicial Committee votes after the LNC
meeting on
July
2nd?
You
can deduce from that how long it takes one person
to
give
the
At-Large
the second-pass, fine-tooth-comb treatment.
Today I
spent
a
LARGE
number of hours on the project. I think I have
about a
dozen
states
left to go, plus tally sheet scanning and writing
up my
notes.
It
takes only a few seconds for you to ask, "Are we
there
yet?", but
it
takes a lot longer to actually accomplish it.
I didn't have the crystal ball at the start of
the
project
to
know
precisely how long I would get to work on it
today, or
how
long
it
would take to complete. Rather than emailing the
LNC
every
30
minutes,
(and I haven't even taken time to comment on the
two
email
ballots yet,
though I have a bit to say there), I'm focusing
on just
getting
this
task done so I can move on to the next. It is a
high
priority on
my
list, and when I finish it, I'll send it.
To others who have been asking about the rest of
my
to-do
list,
I'm
doing this project first. In the case of adopted
resolutions,
please
recall that our convention forges ahead and
adopts all
sorts
of
things
from the floor while the Secretary is trying to
tally
election
results. I suppose I should be flattered that
some
believe
I can
document those fully on the fly while I'm
simultaneously
aggregating
election results, and have completed minutes
immediately
following
adjournment, but that's a bit overly optimistic.
I am
a
human
who is
constrained by the laws of time and space. I
could
only
make
sparse
notes about the nature of other proceedings while
I was

An independent audit makes sense. Of both. While I think we need to
get it done and move on, an audit to ensure transparency and
correctness of the vote I would fully support.

Subject:Re: [Lnc-business] update on timing
I have been in contact with at least one state chair in the last 6 hours
who has asked why we aren't doing an independent audit and his thoughts
resonate with my own in terms of transparency and fairness.
Imagine if this was a government function and the person who an election by
a narrow margin was the only one auditing. I am interested in preserving
the integrity of the LNC and the only way to do this is with an independent
audit. While I appreciate Alicia's efforts, I think it proper that she
turns the task over.
I motion to see that the LNC would have an audit of the At Large ballots
done by an independent auditor, ie someone not in the race. Do I have
co-sponsors?

I am not unhappy with the result. I am unhappy with the way it

all of

The implications are that the At-Large candidates, which include
a
region 1 candidate, were not proper. I have asserted that from
the
beginning.
== You keep complaining that I'm not done yet, as though

Alicia, now you are going overboard. I am entitled to ask, and
that is
not heckling. I already begged your forgiveness if the intent
came off
differently but now you are attacking me. I am not complaining
you are
not done. I am asking for a timeframe. That is all. You could
take
three months and I think that is reasonable.
== Your offer to "assist" is not practical, as any means for that
to
happen would necessarily make it take longer, and thus it

your other complaint that it isn't happening fast enough.==
First I never complained it is not happening fast enough. And
second,
it would seem desirable for me to assist to learn what you are
doing.
That is part of a standard hand-off practice.
== You keep asking for a "timeline". I previously informed you
when
I'd get back home so I could start on it. After my first day of
working on t, I updated on the substantial progress I made,
indicated
what was left to do, and assured you that it is my top priority
to
complete as soon as I could. Yet you're acting as though I have
told
you nothing and have done nothing so far. ==
I am getting asked and asked and asked by members for a
timeline. I
think you are reading into things that are not there. I have no
doubt
that you have done an immense amount. I am not sure where this
is
coming from, but it is not accurate.
==In spite of me describing my progress and approaching the
finishing
line, you're portraying this as though the people requesting
information are being "ignored".==
The Utah Chair would like a timeline. He feels ignored.
And I don't think a timeline is unreasonable - such as "Dr.
Buchman you
can expect that in two weeks."
That is all I am asking. I think this going on the attack here
is not
appropriate. If *I* have one complaint (that is not transmitting
a
complaint from a member) it would be that I should be included on
this
process. That is part of training and handoff. And yes that may
mean
things will take a little bit longer and that can be blamed
totally on
me.
There is no need to go on the attack. I am not attacking you. I
don't
attack you. I have only the utmost respect and admiration for
your
skills as I have said numerous times which is one reason I do
want to
be included in the process for training purposes.
I am not attacking you. Please stop attacking me. None of this
is
productive. I already apologized if the tone of other requests
came
off wrong. Please accept that.
However, a timeline is not unreasonable and I am requesting that
on
behalf of members who keep asking me. A request that people
involved
in an election not be involved in the recount is not
unreasonable, in
fact, I am rather shocked that is not standard practice so I am
requesting an independent audit of any race in which an auditor
was
also a candidate We would expect this of other organizations.

get back home so I could start on it. After my first day of
working on
it, I updated on the substantial progress I made, indicated
what
was
left to do, and assured you that it is my top priority to
complete as
soon as I could. Yet you're acting as though I have told
you
nothing
and have done nothing so far. Today I finished the dozen
states
that I
didn't get to yesterday. Next I need to write up my notes
and
scan
some supporting documents. That's where things are, and
it's
where
I'll pick up later today.
In spite of me describing my progress and approaching the
finishing
line, you're portraying this as though the people requesting
information are being "ignored". That's just not a rational
description of the situation.
All of this just makes me think that this whole conversation
is
more
about generating noise than anything else. Regardless, I'll
finish the
task soon and then move on to the rest of my to-do list.

The At-Large results shouldn’t be a one-person audit in
this
case.
And no one who ran should conduct it.
I continue to offer to assist.
There was no intent to have an inappropriate tone and
if
anything
presented that way you have my abject apology.
What is being asked - by several state Chairs - is a
timeline. I
don’t
think that is unreasonable. They feel like they are
being
ignored.

Ms. Harlos,
I indicated before that I would be traveling with
a
full
schedule
and
only sporadic internet access, and would not
return to
my
more
normal
routine until Monday. I got home from my trip
Sunday
night,
and
starting in the wee hours of Monday morning you
started
the
"Are
we
there yet?" messages about the At-Large details.
Then
throughout
the
day it became rather unfair characterizations
that I
was
saying
"well,
whenever" as though I'm blowing it off. That
tone is
not
warranted nor
appreciated.
Yes, the state-by-state numbers that add up to
the
totals
I
sent
do
exist, but providing that will not be the end of
the
story.
If
all I
send is that, immediately the questions will
begin
about
the
instances
where those numbers vary from the delegation
tally
sheets
because
we
caught and corrected errors. Then while I am
researching
to
answer
those questions, we all know the internet gossip
will
get
silly,
with
people not being careful to say only things they
know
to
be
true
while
waiting on answers to the questions.
My usual practice is to do the post-convention
audit as
part
of
building the convention minutes, which is near
the end
of
my
to-do list
after having updated other minutes with timing
deadlines,
policy,
bylaws, platform, etc. Instead, so I can answer
most
questions
on
at-large before they are asked, because there was
a
very
close
outcome
that involves me, I've prioritized the audit of
the
At-Large
race
to do
it mostly first...though I did also send updated
minutes
to
meet
a
posting deadline and update the Policy Manual
earlier.
When I provide the state-by-state numbers, I'll
scan
the
state
tally
sheets, plus provide my notes about what's
different
between
the
two
and why so that those questions can be addressed
simultaneously
in one
message, rather than being spread out in
different
places
at
different
times where people might miss some of it.
You're well aware of how long it took a team of
10
people
to
go
through
the Judicial Committee votes after the LNC
meeting on
July
2nd?
You
can deduce from that how long it takes one person
to
give
the
At-Large
the second-pass, fine-tooth-comb treatment.
Today I
spent
a
LARGE
number of hours on the project. I think I have
about a
dozen
states
left to go, plus tally sheet scanning and writing
up my
notes.
It
takes only a few seconds for you to ask, "Are we
there
yet?", but
it
takes a lot longer to actually accomplish it.
I didn't have the crystal ball at the start of
the
project
to
know
precisely how long I would get to work on it
today, or
how
long
it
would take to complete. Rather than emailing the
LNC
every
30
minutes,
(and I haven't even taken time to comment on the
two
email
ballots yet,
though I have a bit to say there), I'm focusing
on just
getting
this
task done so I can move on to the next. It is a
high
priority on
my
list, and when I finish it, I'll send it.
To others who have been asking about the rest of
my
to-do
list,
I'm
doing this project first. In the case of adopted
resolutions,
please
recall that our convention forges ahead and
adopts all
sorts
of
things
from the floor while the Secretary is trying to
tally
election
results. I suppose I should be flattered that
some
believe
I can
document those fully on the fly while I'm
simultaneously
aggregating
election results, and have completed minutes
immediately
following
adjournment, but that's a bit overly optimistic.
I am
a
human
who is
constrained by the laws of time and space. I
could
only
make
sparse
notes about the nature of other proceedings while
I was
working
on
elections, and when I start building the
convention
minutes,
I'll
have
to go back and review the recordings to verify
that I
caught
all
the
relevant details. I have a large envelope of
lots of
things
that
were
submitted in writing, so I'll fish out what was
actually
voted
on,
verify that the written submission matches what
the
delegates
were told
they were voting on, etc.
Again, all these items are in the queue, and I'll
get
to
them all
as
soon as I reasonably can now that I am back at
home
with
my
usual
workspace, but it is unreasonable to expect it to
all
happen
instantaneously.
