[Lnc-business] Seeking Co-Sponsors for Policy Manual Amendment regarding Electronic Mail Voting

[Justin O'Donnell]

Colleagues,

Given the recent situation, caused partially by my own actions, I'm 
proposing the following Policy Manual Amendment to clarify for the 
future explicitly how to handle the situation.

Section 1.04 ELECTRONIC MAIL BALLOT PROCEDURES

1) Electronic Mail Ballots

Notification of an electronic mail ballot shall be made by the Secretary 
by electronic mail. This notification shall not include an accompanying 
argument for or against passage of the motion. An LNC Member may change 
their vote on an electronic mail ballot, provided that the change is 
received by the Secretary by the deadline for return of ballots.

(Inserting the Following Language)
In the event that a Regional Representative casts an explicit abstention 
in lieu of a yes or no vote, this shall be counted as a vote for the 
purposes of determining whether or not a Regional Alternate’s vote is 
counted, but not counted as a vote for the purposes of determining the 
threshold of passage for a motion.

Yours in Liberty,

Justin O'Donnell
