[Lnc-business] LP Presidential Debates c/o Arvin Vohra

[Sam Goldstein]

Richard,

I disagree.  Sponsoring every motion that one random person ask the LNC 
to pass encourages others to do the same which take up an inordinate
amount of time.   If a proposal does not attract enough co-sponsors the 
discussion is usually brief and it goes away.  Most people outside the 
LNC have no idea of what we can/cannot do and don't know how to properly 
word proposals anyway.

Those who don't participate in discussions of every idea that comes 
before us most likely have their own opinions and don't participate 
because they see no reason to do so.
