[Lnc-business] A couple of comments regarding the motion currently before us

[James Lark]

Dear colleagues:

I hope all is well with you.I am writing to offer a couple of comments 
regarding the motion currently before us.I hope you find these comments 
to be helpful.

1) In a separate message, I shall vote “nay” on the motion regarding the 
censure of Mr. Leder.My reasons are largely those which Mr. 
Bishop-Henchman offered in his messages of July 16.

2)As far as I am aware, this motion was made available to us for the 
first time at 7:53 p.m. EDT on July 10.Voting on the motion began at 
1:26 p.m. EDT on July 11.That is, the length of time between the point 
when the motion was first made available to the LNC (which was the first 
time I learned of allegations regarding Mr. Leder) and the point when 
voting began was less than 24 hours.

Allow me to request the following of those who make motions for which 
the vote will be conducted by e-ballot.Unless your motion involves 
matters that must be considered immediately, when you first submit a 
motion for consideration by the LNC, please request that prospective 
cosponsors wait at least 48 hours (72 hours would be better) before 
cosponsoring the motion.The requested delay between the first 
distribution of a proposed motion and a formal vote on that motion will 
allow LNC members a little time to consider the motion carefully and 
offer suggestions for its improvement.

As always, thanks for your work for liberty.I look forward to seeing you 
in Austin.

Take care,
Jim
