[Lnc-business] EMAIL BALLOT 200531-1 APPEAL FROM THE RULING OF THE CHAIR CONCERNING REMOVAL OF DANIEL HAYES FROM THE COC

[Steven Nekhaila]

Good Morning All,

I believe that while the Chair had reasons to remove Mr. Hayes, the 
reasons communicated were largely differences of opinion on direction. 
Being that the CoC and LNC seem equally aligned to provide for the 
option of hybrid style convention proceedings and it was already down 
the pipes previously, I believe reinstating Mr. Hayes would not be 
harmful. Quite to the contrary, removing the Chair of the CoC on such 
short notice is not a move I would recommend due to the short time until 
convention. Unless their are charges of gross misconduct, I do not 
believe it was a wise move. I do believe the new CoC Chair to be 
competent, however, and I support her progress regardless of the outcome 
of this motion. As such, after much deliberation, I will be voting No.

In Liberty,

Steven Nekhaila
Region 2 Representative
Libertarian National Committee
