[Lnc-business] Final Feedback: Membership Committee

Tue Sep 18 07:45:11 EDT 2018


I got this message from Starchild, I figure this is worth discussing during this agenda item at the meeting so I am forwarding the message so everyone can think on their preference and amend the motion in whatever way we think Best meets all concerns.

“Hi Alex,

	I would urge you to amend this proposal to have appointments to the proposed Membership Support Committee, and selection of its chair, made by the entire LNC, rather than solely by the chair. 

	I believe we already have too much of a centralized, "strong chair" system in the LP, and that the power of our "legislative branch" should be preserved by resting appointment power in the full elected national committee, not just in one person.

	If you do not intend to make this change, please forward my message to the LNC list so that your colleagues may consider it. Please respond to this message to let me know that you received it and what you intend to do.

	Also, committees should not be populated before adequate notice of this has been provided to the membership, so that interested persons have the opportunity to apply for seats.

Love & Liberty,

                                 ((( starchild )))”
