Dear Chairman Neale:<br>
<br>
I hope all is well with you. I am writing to mention that as of
3:25 p.m. EST on Tuesday (Feb. 12), I did not receive any proposed
changes to the draft minutes of the Executive Committee meeting on
Jan. 28, 2013. Thus, according to the procedure specified in the
Policy Manual (specifically, Section 1.02.06), those draft minutes
now stand approved as the minutes of the meeting.<br>
<br>
I have enclosed the minutes below, as well as Section 1.02.06 of
the Policy Manual; please note that I am sending a copy of this
message to the LNC-Business list to provide our colleagues with a
copy of the minutes. In a separate message I shall send the minutes
to the LPHQ staff for inclusion on the LP.org website.<br>
<br>
As always, thanks for your work for liberty. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments
regarding this matter.<br>
<br>
Take care,<br>
Jim<br>
