[Lnc-business] Resolution of the Libertarian Party of Colorado

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

This was just posted as passed by the LPCO board

Resolved,

"the Libertarian Party of Colorado board. Given the unforeseen
circumstances of the ongoing pandemic and government response. The
libertarian national convention for May 21-25th 2020 is not happening as
planned. Because of this unfortunate situation the LNC and the CoC is
having to decide how to conduct National Party business whether it’s
postponing or having a remote video conference both of which carry
positives and negatives. With LPCO having 35 delegates including many board
members that have committed to attend, making their voice heard, help
conduct national party business which includes the presidential ticket and
LNC board members. Making LPCO carry a lot of influence and with other
State party’s telling the LNC and CoC their preference, it is important
that LPCO use our influence as well. Postponing the in-person convention to
June or July and developing a remote option for delegations under travel
restrictions or mandatory quarantine brings the opportunity to keep within
the National Party bylaws, have different outreach and publicity
opportunities. One potential idea/chance is if it’s postponed to July there
could be an opportunity to relocate to Las Vegas and have it coincide with
the freedom festival. While there is no perfect solution to this quirky
year, I believe postponing is the best solution. Therefore the resolution I
am proposing will read.


WHEREAS, with the ongoing pandemic presenting  health and safety risks that
is making the in-person May 21-25th  2020 national convention untenable,
with trying to have a purely remote convention presenting too many logistic
problems and being counter to the National Party’s bylaws, loss of
publicity to the Party and Presidential ticket, and calling into question
the integrity of the nominating process. Understanding any solution will be
imperfect to an unfortunate situation-


Therefore, it is RESOLVED that the board of the Libertarian Party of
Colorado calls on the Libertarian National Committee to postpone the
in-person convention to June or July of 2020, and develop a remote option
for delegations under travel restrictions or mandatory quarantine".
