[Lnc-business] DRAFT MINUTES, LNC Meeting 1/9/19, Version 2

[James Lark]

Dear Caryn Ann:

     Thank you for the message and the updated draft of the meeting 
minutes.  In a separate message I shall send a Word file in which I have 
enclosed most of my comments and suggestions.  The comments and 
suggestions are interspersed with the draft; they are preceded by the 
JWL symbol, and should appear in red bold text.

     I believe it is appropriate for changes to be made concerning the 
materials associated with the discussion of goals.  In particular, I 
believe that in Appendix A, the "submissions" should be listed in 
chronological order of distribution to the LNC, rather than the order in 
which they are currently listed.  In addition, I believe the dates on 
which such "submissions" were first distributed to the LNC should be 
included.

     I sent proposed goals and associated commentary to the LNC in an 
e-mail on July 9, 2018.  However, my "submission" has been included in 
Appendix A without reference to the date on which I sent this 
information to the LNC, or to the fact that this information was first 
distributed in the form of an e-mail to the LNC.  (The words submission 
and submissions are in quotation marks because I did not submit anything 
specifically for the LNC meeting on Jan. 6.)

     Similarly, Mr. Bishop-Henchman's comments were distributed in an 
attachment to a message sent to the LNC on Nov. 29, 2018 (and resent to 
the LNC on Jan. 5, 2019).  Your comments appeared in an e-mail to the 
LNC on Jan. 6, 2019.  I am uncertain when and how Mr. Merced's 
submission was first made available to the LNC.

     To list the "submissions" in Appendix A in the manner you have 
chosen may lead readers to infer that those items were submitted shortly 
before the Jan. 6 meeting, when in reality the topic of goals (including 
specific proposed goals) was first raised on July 9, 2018.  Since I see 
no compelling reason to avoid providing date-of-distribution and 
manner-of-submission information for the items in Appendix A, I request 
that such information be included.

     Thanks for your work for liberty.

     Take care,
     Jim
