Allow me to offer some comments regarding the matter of a proposed September meeting.<br><br>1) It is very unlikely I can participate in a meeting on Sept. 11 unless it is held after 8:30 p.m. EDT that day. As of this moment I should be available throughout the day on Sept. 25. <br><br>2) Article 7, section 9 of the LP Bylaws allows meetings to be called if at least one-third of the LNC so request in writing. However, unless a majority of LNC members indicate agreement that such a meeting be held, I request that those seeking a meeting withdraw their call.<br><br> As far as I am aware, there is no issue before us that cannot be handled in a timely manner via e-mail discussion and ballots. Thus, unless an issue emerges for which a majority of LNC members believe a meeting is clearly necessary, I prefer that a meeting not be called prior to our scheduled meeting in December.<br><br> As always, thanks for your work for liberty.
