[Lnc-business] Message from the Convention Oversight Committee Chair re: the pending votes

[Whitney Bilyeu]

BetteRose Ryan does not speak for this member of the COC committee. Period.
I speak for myself.

BetteRose, as the Chair of the COC, should probably address these things
with the actual COC....considering that we have been in conversations with
her throughout every day since she was named Chair of the COC. She has not
expressed this sentiment to us. On the contrary, she has said she was happy
to have to Daniel continue to work with speakers, etc...

So, there is clearly a disconnect between what she is saying to individual
LNC members, and what she is saying to the COC (the committee she chairs
now).

She has the same access to this list that other non-LNC members have. I
will copy her on my reply to make sure.
