[Lnc-business] Seeking co-sponsors: APPEALS COMMITTEE

[Alicia Mattson]

Joe, I have some language in my head for how to tiptoe through this, but it
will be later today before I can write it down as a proposed alternative.
Can we do some wordsmithing before we ask for cosponsors?

The LNC can delegate powers that it has, but we can't delegate powers it
doesn't have.  We can delegate to a Not-A-Judicial-Committee Committee the
power to overturn LNC decisions.  We can't give that committee the power to
overturn something the 2020 convention might do, though a properly elected
JC would be able to do that.

Also, I wouldn't make this a fixture in the policy manual, as it is likely
only going to be needed for this one term, thus a special committee would
be more appropriate.

-Alicia

     The Appeals Committee shall operate in any term where the Judicial
     Committee is unable to function due to lack of quorum. The Appeals
     Committee is empowered to hear appeals over items specified in
     Bylaws Article 6, Section 2, Parts a, b, & c. The LNC shall adhere
     to any judgment of the Appeals Committee on these matters as if it
     were from the Judicial Committee. The Appeals Committee shall
     consist of any of the top 7 vote-getters of a Convention vote for
     Judicial Committee who choose to serve on it, with any vacancies
     filled by the remaining Appeals Committee members.
