The Executive Committee will be meeting briefly today at 5 PM
Eastern (2 PM Pacific). The purpose of the call will be limited to
discussing whether or not to join as an interested party in the
filing of an amicus brief (attached). The brief pertains to an
appeal to the Supreme Court of the Nevada "None of these candidates"
decision by the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. More
information can be found here: <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/None_of_These_Candidates">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/None_of_These_Candidates</a>.
The call is expected to last approximately fifteen minutes.<br>
<br>
Please note that section 2.04(2) of the policy manual refers to
authorization of lawsuits. The filing of an amicus brief does not
make the filer a party to a lawsuit. Nevertheless, I am advising
all LNC members that a) there will be no cost to the LNC to join the
filing, b) therefore no approval is required for budgetary
authority, and c) the purpose of the EC meeting is to seek and
obtain approval of the EC for participating in the lawsuit as an
amicus filer.<br>
<br>
The reason for the short notice on the call of this meeting is that
the final brief was not available for consideration until October 9.
The brief will be sent to print on Monday October 14.<br>
