[Lnc-business] Seeking Co-Sponsors to work on Policy Manual style issues postponed from last meeting

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I have no issue putting back on agenda, and this time, I will not be so
accommodating to agree to email ballot knowing that there is no real
intention to handle by email ballot.

In order to simply further, I will break out further - such as the
parentheticals and the lists.

This has been in the possession of the LNC for several months now with
adequate time to review.  I am willing to work with everyone to present and
vote in the most logical manner but it is like pulling teeth to get
anything started which is not particularly motivating.

This evening I will break out those categories.  I cannot do anything with
vague references to something that might be wrong.  I think we owe each
other a tad bit more specificity.

found anything offensive or overly off-putting (or some other social faux
pas), please contact me privately and let me know. *
