[Lnc-business] Access to the Coc Zoom

[Daniel Fishman]

Dear LNC,

I call your attention to the Policy Manual Section 2.01 OBLIGATIONS AMONG
BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF

In particular to this part of subsection 4:

"




*In response to every complaint, LNC will take prompt and necessarysteps to
investigate the matter and will protect the individual’s confidentiality,
as much aspossible, recognizing the need to thoroughly investigate all
complaints. LNC will takecorrective and preventative actions where
necessary. LNC will not retaliate against anyindividual who in good faith
brings a complaint to the attention of LNC or participates in
aninvestigation regarding a complaint*."

I have stated I am investigating a complaint. I am trying to protect
everyone's confidentiality as much as possible. I don't understand an
organization that impedes the investigation of a complaint by refusing to
release video.

Please direct the CoC to release the video I am requesting.
