<div dir="ltr">In principle, I have no problem with this. And in principle, it doesn't matter if they have been asked if they want this. If they don't, they simply do not pursue affiliation.

Affiliate Party Delegate Entitlements:
Each affiliate party shall be entitled to send delegates to each Regular Convention on the
following basis:
a. One delegate for each 0.14 percent, or fraction thereof, of the total Party sustaining
membership in that affiliate; provided that at least one such delegate must be a resident
of that State or District.
b. One delegate for each 0.35 percent, or fraction thereof, of the votes cast nationwide for
the Libertarian Party candidate in the most recent presidential election, cast in that
affiliate's state.==</div> <br><div><br></div><div>-- <br><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font size="4" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" color="#666666"><b>In Liberty,</b></font></div><div><font size="4" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" color="#666666"><b>Caryn Ann Harlos</b></font></div><div><font size="1">Region 1 Representative, Libertarian National Committee </font><span style="font-size:x-small">(Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Washington) - <a>Caryn.Ann.

<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>
