<p dir="ltr">As I consider whether to co-sponsor this, I'm curious to know if anyone has reached out to Partido Libertario de Puerto Rico to find out if they wish to become an affiliate? </p>

requesting such status in each state, territory and the District of Columbia (hereinafter, state)" and</p>
<p dir="ltr">Whereas no affiliate is currently recognized from any of the inhabited Territories of the United States,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Libertarian National Committee encourages the Partido Libertario de Puerto Rico (Libertarian Party of Puerto Rico) to prepare for and apply to become an affiliate of our Libertarian Party, and</p>
<p dir="ltr">Be It Further Resolved, that the Libertarian National Committee encourages the Libertarians in America's other Territories to organize themselves as Libertarian political groups that advance to apply for affiliate status,</p>
<p dir="ltr">and Be it Further Resolved, that the Libertarian national Committee directs its appointees to the 2018 National Convention Bylaws Committee to create and support a Bylaws amendment establishing delegate representation for all Party Sustaining members who do not live in a current affiliate."</p>
