[Lnc-business] NOTICE OF SPECIAL E-MEETING MARCH 26 9PM-11PM EASTERN

[Alicia Mattson]

I think the subject matter given in this meeting notice is improperly broad.

The initial sponsor of the idea started an email with a subject line
referring only to "convention" and asked for a meeting to discuss this
matter.  Mr. Goldstein asked for clarification of what matter.  The
response was, "our contingency plans and status in light of the pandemic."

That was the given understanding when other LNC members agreed to join the
call of the meeting.  Yet this meeting notice says the subject is again
just the very broad "convention" topic, rather than the narrowed answer
which was given in that email thread.

Some other topics that came up in that email thread go beyond the scope of
contingency plans and into brainstorming potential bylaws amendments on
other topics not related to the stated purpose of the meeting.  I am quite
concerned that stating the topic as "convention" rather than "our
contingency plans and status in light of the pandemic" could lead to some
trying to bring those subjects into the meeting, when that was not the
purpose stated.

I will object to topics other than "our contingency plans and status in
light of the pandemic" as being outside of the scope of the special meeting.
