<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">My apologies. The previous email I sent you had the old link to an earlier draft of the minutes. The correct link is below.</font></div>

</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">On January 11, a member of the LNC, Dianna Visek, challenged the updated draft of the minutes. Therefore the minutes I prepared as secretary pro tem for the session were not auto approved.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Also on January 11, Ms. Visek, made the following motion for an email ballot:</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I move to adopt the December 14-15, 2013 LNC meeting minutes, subject to the Secretary adding Geoff Neale's abstentions which are not currently listed in the roll call votes on the following motions:</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">p. 9 Michael Cloud motion</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">p. 10 first motion regarding Carla Howell</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">p. 11 second motion regarding Carla Howell</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">p. 11 shipping motion</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">p. 12 FEC motion</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">p. 12 Dixon motion</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">p. 12 Purpose of Committees motion</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">p. 14 appeal chair's ruling on the multiple choice motion</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">p. 15 proviso on budget for ballot access expenditures</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Later on January 11, the chair, Geoffrey Neale, sponsored the motion, meaning seconds were not needed.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">On January 14, the secretary, David Blau, distributed "Email Ballot 2014-01" on the motion to amend and approve the minutes and declared that voting would end on January 24 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The motion passed, with 9 in favor and 1 against. Goldstein, Hagan, Kirkland, Lark, Neale, Pojunis, Starchild, Visek, and Wiener voted in favor. Johnson voted against.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Lieberman also voted in favor; but his vote as one of the two alternates for Region 4 did not count because both of the representatives for Region 4 voted.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Olsen attempted to vote in favor of the motion; but he cast his vote on January 25, after the polling had ended.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Since the Libertarian National Committee had 18 members, at least 10 votes were needed for a quorum. And, since there were 10 votes, enough votes were cast.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>

<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The motion said "subject to the Secretary adding Geoff Neale's abstentions." Does this mean the secretary, Mr. Blau, is supposed to this? </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I don't know if anyone assumed that I was going to do this as the secretary pro tem for the session.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Anyway, I have amended and prepared the approved minutes.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I have labeled this version "Approved by Email Ballot. Updated January 24, 2014." January 24 was the last day for voting on the e-mail ballot.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Although the motion for the email ballot called for nine changes, I have made ten changes.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">One of the changes is "p. 11 shipping motion." However, there are two roll call votes on page 11 in the "Shipping Motion" section. So, I changed both.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Listed below are the changes from the fourth draft to the approved version.</font></div>
