of inappropriate materials, and by streamlining the language in Section II.6, would actually make the burgeoning Policy Manual slightly shorter despite the expanded role of the

I just received the new LP News and it is much improved over what I have seen in several years. We should make it easy to share the good news. <br><br>C) LP blog is not updated much. LP News stories already exist and are already content that we have sent the membership (ie approved), so they should be an obvious source of LP blog posts that should take very little staff time to post (or I would be willing to post them as a volunteer if I can get them emailed to me and a login to do so). <br><br>D) Can we get a link somewhere that would make it more obvious that people can subscribe to LP News without becoming LP members? If there is already such a link at LP.org I am not noticing it <br><br>E) Now that the election is over I would like to see if we can restore the ability of LNC members and/or volunteers to submit LP Blog content. It's fine if we have to have it go through APRC before it goes out or whatever means we need to use to ensure that we don't embarrass ourselves. <br><br>As much of this as can be done without LNC motions would be awesome. <br><br>If LNC motions are a prerequisite for making any of it happen, I ask that full members please submit motions to make it happen. <br><br>Thanks<br><br>Paul Frankel 415-690-6352<br>LNC Alt Region 7 (AL, MS, OK, LA, TX)<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Lnc-discuss mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Lnc-discuss@hq.lp.org">Lnc-discuss@hq.lp.org</a><br><a href="http://hq.lp.org/mailman/listinfo/lnc-discuss_hq.lp.org">http://hq.lp.org/mailman/listinfo/lnc-discuss_hq.lp.org</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
