<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The Judicial Committee is supposed to have seven members. Only three received a majority in the approval voting process at the 2016 national convention.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The three members of the Judicial Committee elected by the delegates, Alicia Dearn, Gary Johnson of Texas, and Chuck Moulton, have communicated by email.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">We have ruled unanimously that, as the "remaining members" of the committee, we have the authority to fill vacancies, although we are less than the quorum of five specified in the bylaws.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">We have decided informally to reject, by 1 to 2, the idea of filling the vacancies with the next four vote getters.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">We have decided unanimously to fill the vacancies with four individuals who were not nominated at the convention and therefore were not "disapproved" of by a majority of the delegates in the approval voting process.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">We have voted unanimously by email ballot to fill the vacancies with Michael Badnarik, John Buttrick, Bill Hall, and Rob Latham.</font></div>
