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

[Elizabeth Van Horn]

Caryn Ann, I appreciate you looking up RONR on this.  

I do wish for our Chair to comment also.  I specifically told Joe
Hauptmann that I'd inquire with the Chair.

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.

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.
