[Lnc-business] Hybrid Convention idea

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Tim and Dustin, there is a majority of LNC members now who are willing to
sign on to a different compromise.  An all online P/VP election very soon
and an in person convention for everything else in July/august with no
hybrid option.  This way everyone gets something of what they want.  I am
willing to sign off on that.

I hope you will too Tim.
