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

[Tim Hagan]

I vote yes, to sustain the ruling.

In the Policy Manual's table for Committee Appointments, the second 
column has the size of the committee and qualifications to be on the 
committee. The third column has Member Selection. I'm viewing this as 
the COC acting similar to a nomination committee sending its 
recommendations to the Chair. They could recommend more than three 
nominees, in which case the Chair selects from the pool of 
recommendations who to appoint onto the committee. The third column in 
the chart lists only the LNC Chair as the appointing authority. The 
appointing authority has the power to remove members of the committee. 
In the case of having a nomination committee, the appointing authority 
does not need to receive the agreement from the nomination committee to 
remove a member of a committee.
