<br>
In thinking about filling this position and seeing the names of
the folks self-nominating, I realized that there is no logical
reason to ask anyone interested to spend the time and money to fly
to D.C. to make their case to us. I would much rather that we make
our selection and then urge the others to make a donation of the
money they've saved to the NLP or the Johnson campaign.<br>
<br>
Realistically, most of us have probably made our decisions or at
least narrowed it down from the list. I am just proposing that we
make the decision now, let the new member get all the necessary
reports and get up to speed.<br>
<br>
Please, also remember, that we have such a limited amount of time
together and it seems like a mis-allocation of those limited hours
to make a decision that most - likely all - of us have already
made. Let's say that we have just these 8 candidates. If each is
allowed just five minutes to make her/his case, that is 40 minutes
at best. Plus wrangling over a voting system and voting and
counting ballots. We will have spent a minimum of an hour and a
half out of our total of 12-14 hours together - about 10% of our
meeting! It just does not seem like a good use of our time - when
we can have a decision in the next couple of weeks.<br>
<br>
Currently I have these names - and more are likely coming: (in no
particular order)<br>
<br>
Carl Perrson Paulie Frankel
Am I missing anyone?<br>
David Blau Mark Hinkle<br>
Bill Still Gary Johnson (TX)<br>
Gigi Bowman Guy McLendon<br>
<br>
So please vote AYE on this motions as quickly as possible and we
can proceed to a vote on our new At-Large member.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your consideration.<br>
<br>
Ruth<br>
