[Lnc-business] Presidential candidate list.

[Sam Goldstein]

Here is the record of my motion.  I think it need to be edited to
include the final version which passed: 

Mr. Goldstein moved that the LNC adopt the following criteria to
determine which candidates will be listed on any LP platform: 

1. Must have filed FEC-2 with the Federal Election Commission 

2. The candidate is a sustaining member of the national LP 

3. The candidate is legally qualified to hold the office and must be
registered as Libertarian (if their home state has registration by
party) 

4. The candidate must have a functional website and/or Facebook page
that can be linked from lp.org 

5. The candidate has professional quality photos, especially a headshot
and at least a one minute video with audio of the candidate speaking 

6. The candidate must have a dedicated campaign manager 

7. The candidate must use the word "Libertarian" in his or her campaign
materials [190727-7] 

Ms. Harlos moved to amend by striking criterion number one (1) from the
qualifications. [190727-8] A roll call vote was conducted with the
following results: Member/Alternate Aye Nay Abst. Bilyeu X
Bishop-Henchman X Goldstein X Hagan X Harlos X Hewitt X Lark X
Longstreth X Lyons X Mattson X Merced X LNC MINUTES - Austin, TX - July
27-28, 2019 DRAFT #3 Page 20 Nekhaila X Phillips X Redpath X Smith X Van
Horn X Sarwark X TOTALS 4 10 3 The Harlos amendment FAILED with a roll
call vote of 4-10-3. [190727-8] Without objection, Mr. Redpath moved to
extend for ten (10) minutes. Mr. Phillips made and then withdrew a
motion to amend criterion number 4 by striking "/or." Mr. Hagan moved to
amend criterion number three (3) by adding "and must not be registered
as a member of another Party." A roll call vote was conducted with the
following results: Member/Alternate Aye Nay Abst. Bilyeu X
Bishop-Henchman X Goldstein X Hagan X Harlos X Hewitt X Lark X
Longstreth X Lyons X Mattson X Merced X Nekhaila X Phillips X Redpath X
Smith X Van Horn X Sarwark X TOTALS 14 0 3 The Hagan amendment PASSED
with a roll call vote of 14-0-3. [190727-9] A roll call vote then
proceeded on the main motion, as amended, with the following results:
Member/Alternate Aye Nay Abst. Bilyeu X Bishop-Henchman X Goldstein X
Hagan X Harlos X Hewitt X Lark X Longstreth X Lyons X Mattson X Merced X
Nekhaila X LNC MINUTES - Austin, TX - July 27-28, 2019 DRAFT #3 Page 21
