[Lnc-business] update on timing

As I am obviously still a contact for many in region 1 as the transition is
made, I am hearing from a lot of the same people.  I really do not
appreciate being made the "bad guy" for asking reasonable questions and
having my motives questioned.  I held back on asking as many questions as I
normally would because I knew that would happen.  That should not be our
culture.  Everyone should feel comfortable and free to ask questions in
order to discharge their duties.

-------------- next part --------------
   As I am obviously still a contact for many in region 1 as the
   transition is made, I am hearing from a lot of the same people.  I
   really do not appreciate being made the "bad guy" for asking reasonable
   questions and having my motives questioned.  I held back on asking as
   many questions as I normally would because I knew that would happen.
   That should not be our culture.  Everyone should feel comfortable and
   free to ask questions in order to discharge their duties.

   Hi Alicia,

   that
         one.  You're not rattling the cages about that, only about the
   one
      in
         which you seem to be unhappy with the result. ==
      I am not unhappy with the result.  I am unhappy with the way it was
      handled.  Please don't make accusations or assumptions.  I hope all
   of
      the races are audited and anyone in those races should not be
   involved
      with that.  I am sure you agree that margins of less than 20 votes
   are
      significantly different than margins of 150 votes.
      == You have recklessly asserted that "a region 1 candidate was
   pretty
      screwed by this whole process", and that carries some pretty unfair
      implications.==
      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 heckling
      the person doing the work will make it go faster. ===
      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
   contradicts
      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.

        where
           I'll pick up later today.

                      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

                   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

              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.
