[Lnc-business] Secretary''s Report

[Alicia Mattson]

Below are some additional corrections needed for the Secretary’s report:

In the section titled, “Status of Minutes Since Last Report”, the date of
the July minutes was July 27-28, rather than July 28-29.

In that same section, the July 27-28 minutes were approved by email ballot
number 190922-01, rather than 190922-11.

There is a section titled, “LNC Membership Changes Since August Meeting”
but the meeting was in July rather than August.  That section lists that
Pat Ford was elected as the new Region 8 alternate, but it should also
mention that the vacancy existed because Jeff Lyons resigned by email to
the LNC on 08/06/19.  This resignation was also after the July meeting,
thus hasn’t been documented in other minutes.

The census-related URL at the bottom of page 2 is not a valid webpage.  It
leads to an error message landing page.

In the section titled “Delegate Allocations” it indicates your intent to
calculate and notify the states that will have earned committee seats for
the 2022 convention.  Please note that there will be a new census before
the 2022 convention, leading to new denominators for the per-capita
calculations and we don’t know those numbers yet.  I don’t recall how long
it typically takes the U.S. Census Bureau to publish the results of a new
census, but presuming that data is available well before committee
appointment deadlines, the new data should be used for the 2022
calculations, rather than the 2010 data.

Under the heading “Email Ballots” the first sentence also needs the dates
corrected for the July meeting.

Email ballot number 190804-01 is missing from the listing of email ballots
since the last regular meeting.

Email ballot number 190830-1 ended on 09/06/19, rather than 09/07/19.

On email ballot number 190906-01 a “no” vote is reported for John Phillips,
but I did not find that he voted.  The closest I saw was a comment from him
that if something is true, then he would not support the motion, but that’s
not a clear vote.

On email ballot number 190922-01, it lists the co-sponsors as “Harlos,
Longstreth, Merced, Phillips” but I saw no co-sponsorship from Mr. Merced.
I saw that you inquired whether Mr. Merced would, but I saw no response
from him.  I did instead see co-sponsorship from Hagan and Smith who are
not listed there.

On email ballot 190922-01, the vote total reports 11 “aye” votes, but the
roll call listing only shows 10 names in the list.  It is missing an
affirmative vote from Tim Hagan, which can be seen on the email list here:
