[Lnc-business] Presidential candidate list.

[Daniel Fishman]

Looping in Bob Johnston.

This is mostly clear, let me ask for a few points of clarification:

For #3 and  #6 can we just ask the candidate to affirm that they have met
these criteria?

For #4 and #5 should I will refer to the LNC to ask if a candidate's
webpage/facebook meets the criteria of functional and if their photos meet
the level of professional quality, or can LPHQ staff make that ruling.
