<u>Motion:</u><br>
Whereas, the Bylaws of the Libertarian Party state that
“delegates to a Regular Convention shall be selected by a
method adopted by each affiliate party” (Article 11, 3 (b)),
and<br>
<br>
Whereas, the Bylaws of the Libertarian Party state that “each
state-level affiliate party shall, in accordance with its own
Bylaws and these Bylaws, determine who shall be its delegates
to all Regular Conventions.” (Article 6, 3), and<br>
<br>
Whereas, the Bylaws of the Libertarian Party state that “the
autonomy of the affiliate and sub-affiliate parties shall not
be abridged by the National Committee or any other committee
of the Party…” (Article 6, 5), and<br>
<br>
Whereas the Chair of the National Convention incorrectly ruled
that it was in order for the convention to vote to seat three
delegates in the Oregon delegation over the objection of the
affiliate party chair, and<br>
<br>
Whereas the motion made did not challenge the report of the
Credentials Committee as to who was the affiliate party chair,
and<br>
<br>
Whereas the convention delegates subsequently voted to seat
those delegates over the objection of the delegate chair,<br>
<br>
Be it resolved that the Libertarian National Committee
apologizes to the Libertarian Party of Oregon for the
erroneous ruling of the National Convention Chair.<br>
