Dr. Lark and committee:<div><br></div><div>The PM requires 1/3 not 1/2 so I believe it appropriate if 1/3 requests so I do not intend to withdraw my call. Further the members of my region have shared my sentiment and I serve their interests.</div><div><br></div><div>While in theory all of this could be done in email, the reality of the practice is starkly different. If members wish to convince me otherwise then let's have real discussions here on list on these issues with full participation. The fact is that most discussions here are largely ignored and fall into an institutional vortex. Even if I speak alone, that is something I will rail against and this has been this far the desire of the region who elected me. And if I am anything, it is zealous to be a faithful representative. <span></span></div><div><br></div><div>Let's get my transparency proposal to a vote and I will be convinced this can be handled by email.

Dear colleagues:<br>
<br>
I hope all is well with you. 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. As always, thanks
for considering my comments and requests.<br>
<br>
Take care,<br>
Jim <br>

That is THE worst weekend for me. I could do 8pm which

Sunday September 11th is better for me.</div>
