[Lnc-business] Forwarding a message for Ms. Ryan

[Sam Goldstein]

Dear All,

Ms. Ryan is somewhat inaccurate in her recollections of our last 
meeting.  She specifically said that she was reluctant to bring up the 
questionable vacancy on the COC but had been ordered by the Chair to do 
so.  The majority of the COC then brought up the fact that there are 
currently two motions pending before the LNC on this matter and we would 
wait until those are resolved before making any recommendations.

This constant interference in the workings of the COC is getting old and 
needs to stop.  We are doing over a years work in less than 5 weeks and 
need to concentrate our efforts on a great convention experience for all 
attendees.

Live Free,
