For everyone's reference the Bylaws language referred to by Tim and
Starchild (and I will put this in the notebook):
3. The Chair shall preside at all Conventions and all meetings of the
National Committee. The Chair is the chief executive officer of the Party
with full authority to direct its business and affairs, including hiring
and discharging of National Committee volunteers and paid personnel,
subject to express National Committee policies and directives issued in the
exercise of the National Committee's plenary control and management of
Party affairs, properties and funds.

My reading of Bylaws Article 6, Section 3 is that the final
clause ("subject to the National Committee policies and directives")
gives the LNC the authority to establish a directive or policy (e.g.
this proposed search committee) whereby persons hired by the Chair
must have been previously approved by the LNC.
I like Justin's original proposal not to limit the committee
to strictly LNC members. Members of the LNC are selected by party
members voting in convention as delegates, and the executive
director has at least as much power as any single LNC member except
the chair, so it's reasonable for LP members not on the LNC to have
some voice in that selection.
Getting more Libertarians a say in running the party, and
making it more bottom-up with less concentration of power at the top
is a good thing. I encourage my regional reps and other LNC members
to vote accordingly.
