[Lnc-business] Convention Voting Process Committee

[Alicia Mattson]

CAH>  Dan Fishman was elected to that committee but is no longer eligible
as staff.

I'm looking at the wording of the motion that created the CVPC:

"Create a special committee to examine and make recommendations to improve
the voting methods and processes used at our national conventions (Voting
Process Committee). This committee shall provide reports of its progress at
each LNC meeting leading up to the 2020 national convention and shall work
with, and confer with, the Convention Oversight Committee and the Bylaws
and Rules Committee as appropriate. The Committee shall comprise nine (9)
members appointed by the LNC with an interim Chair appointed by the LNC
Chair. The Committee shall select its own Chair at its first meeting.
Additionally, the LNC Chair and LNC Secretary shall be non-voting ex
officio members of this Committee."

I actually don't see anything that would make Mr. Fishman ineligible to
serve on this committee, even if he is a member of staff.

We have a policy that forbids employees from being on the LNC, or from
being on bylaws-created committees, but this committee is an LNC creation.
Mr. Fishman is fairly well qualified to serve on this committee if he
wishes to continue.

I fully expect that the LNC will vote to approve Mr. Fishman's hiring.  If
he decides that his plate is full with that task and wishes to resign from
the CVPC, certainly that would be understandable.

CAH>  So I understand from here that Mr. Fishman has resigned from the
committee.  *So I am seeking co-sponsors on a motion to appoint David
Valente to the vacancy.

I don't know whether Mr. Fishman's comment here was predicated on the
beginning comment suggesting that he would be ineligible once hired?
Before we start this email ballot, perhaps we just should make sure he
understands that he could actually continue to serve as both and confirm
that he still wishes to resign from the CVPC.
