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

[Tim Hagan]

I change my vote to No.

After reading Mr. Brown's & Ms. Mattson's analyses and contemplating on 
the issue, I've come to the conclusion that the Judicial Committee is 
vacant with no one having the authority to fill the vacancies. Part of 
this is also considering the phrase "as specified" in Rule 9 to refer to 
the manner specified that is written in the Convention Special Rules of 
Order.

This is sub-optimal as it leaves no committee for suspended affiliates, 
officers, or at-large members to appeal their suspension to, thus 
potentially violating their rights to an appeal. The best solution is 
for no one to take any action that's suspension-worthy. :)

I'll throw out an idea for the rare event that an appeal of an LNC 
action may be needed. The LNC could create an ad-hoc Advisory Committee 
that can hear appeals over the items specified in Bylaws Article 6, 
Section 2, Parts a, b, & c. The LNC commits to reverse a suspension if 
the Advisory Committee, after hearing an appeal, advises that the 
suspended affiliate, officer, or at-large member should be reinstated. 
The committee's members will be D. Frank Robinson, Chuck Moulton, Darryl 
Perry, Ruth Bennett, Geoff Neale, Jim Turney, and Tricia Sprankle.
