[Lnc-business] LPIN member omitted from the Bylaws Committee Ballot

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

The index for the Credentials Committee is correct.  The addition of
platform committee applicants appears right after Peter Moulds, and as you
can see, that is a gmail printing issue where it printed a whole email
string rather than the single application.  I will reprint Mr. Moulds'
application, and redact/delete the additional information if it once again
prints in a string.

The Credentials application was different and did not present the
difficulty that bylaws and platform does.

According to my reading of RONR, there is nothing that can be done
concerning that omission except offer Mr. Hauptman (whom I had the pleasure
of spending multiple weekends last convention season with) my abject
apology.  Election results must be contested at the same session in which
the election occurred in this circumstance. While typically, they could be
challenged in the next session is within a quarterly time period, the
Bylaws deadline for our appointments will have expired, and thus is not an
option.  I will write Mr. Hauptman personally - as I have stated - without
reservation - this is an error on my part, no ifs, ands, or buts.
