<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear colleagues:<br>
<br>
I hope all is well with you. I am writing to indicate that I
shall vote against the motion proposed by Secretary Bennett.<br>
<br>
While I appreciate the desire of Ms. Bennett and others to
deal with this matter prior to the LNC meeting in November, I have
concerns about the motion. For example, the voting method is not
clearly defined. The phrase "instant runoff voting" can be used
to describe several different voting procedures; I am not able to
support the motion until the specifics of the voting process are
more clearly defined. Also, it is possible that other candidates
for the position may emerge in the aftermath of the November
elections.<br>
<br>
I apologize for not contacting you sooner about this matter.
I have been dealing with some unexpected problems which have
consumed a nontrivial fraction of my time.<br>
<br>
As always, thanks for your work for liberty. I look forward
to seeing you at the next LNC meeting.<br>
<br>
Take care,<br>
Jim<br>
