Dear Richard,

It might have been an error with AOL as well. My apologies if it was on my
end.

Nick, I never saw this communication come from Ms. Ryan. Her regional
representative couldn't have shared something that was not received. Our
email loses things regularly and we have been bombarded with emails. Thank
you for sharing now and my apologies to Ms. Ryan if the fault was mine.

Dear All,

Apparently the Chair of the Convention Oversight Committee responded to a
number of LNC members about representations that were made by certain LNC
members. Ms. Ryan had requested that her response be shared with the
business list, but her Regional Representative did not do so.

Her response is below:
***
“Can you post this for me? If there are things in it that you feel
shouldn't be on the thread, go ahead and remove it - that is except for the
first sentence.  Robert sent me a note asking about this same issue but I
think may answer didn't fit the narrative as I didn't see it post.  The
committee refuses to recommend someone, even Daniel because that will prove
there is a vacancy.  I need to get back to work but thank you for
everything.


I, Ms. Ryan was never bullied by the Chairman. He asked me to call for a
vote last weekend but the committee had other things on our plate. I
brought it up as the last order of business and said Mr. Sarwark would like
a vote of the committee. I did say I serve at the pleasure of the Chair
because I do.

Someone motioned that we table the question although there was no motion
made to table.  Besides we rule by consensus. rarely taking a "vote".  I
said I was fine telling the Chairman that there was no recommendation from
the committee at this time.

I do feel the Chairman was correct in his request and his reading of the
policy manual.  The Chairman has the right to unilaterally seat and
therefore the right to remove the non-LNC members of the committee.
Therefore there is a vacancy on the committee, which the members of the
committee refused to accept.

Changing the policy manual is up to the LNC but I caution doing that in the
heat of a controversy.”
