[Lnc-business] Tonight’s Meeting and the convention

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I believe the LNC should pass an official resolution of support for remote
participation.  It has more teeth than mere promises.

I do not support a streamlined agenda.  The platform and bylaws committees
have busted their ass and deserve to have their work heard.  If the bylaws
committee feels otherwise, I respect that, but as chair of the platform
committee, I know what we have done, and I will not flush other people's
time down the drain.

*In Liberty,*
