I have,<br /> for the past three and a half months, been working with our counsel,<br /> Oliver Hall, to negotiate a contract that would be in the best<br /> interest of the Libertarian Party.<br /> <br /> During those months, terms have changed during the course of the<br /> negotiations in both agreements. At some point I asked Mr. Hall about<br /> the advisability of making the provisions of the contract public both<br /> before and after the election. His advice was that it would not be<br /> advisable at any point, but definitely would not be prior to the<br /> election. Based on that discussion, my preference would be to keep it<br /> confidential until inauguration day. That was what I communicated to<br /> the list, but that communication was in error.<br /> <br /> The actual contract requires confidentiality of the terms. Mr.<br /> Goldstein pointed out that phrase to me and I sent a correction to the<br /> email list as soon as I realized that I had misspoke. I understand<br /> that this misspeaking has created a lack of confidence and a motion to<br /> rescind the entire authority to execute the contract.<br /> <br /> I would like it to be clear that making the contract public was not,<br /> to my knowledge, one of the stated objectives at the LNC meeting<br /> following the convention for our contract with the campaign. A very<br /> small and vocal minority making it into an absolute requirement at<br /> this late stage of the negotiations is shifting the goalposts in the<br /> final seconds of the game (after, I'm not sure if signatures are<br /> already on the campaign's copies).<br /> <br /> I think the contract negotiated is a good one. Others who have seen<br /> it are probably within their bounds to say whether they consider it a<br /> good or bad agreement, without discussing specific terms with LNC<br /> members who will not agree to keep it confidential.<br /> <br /> The effect of this motion would be to cancel everything negotiated<br /> because I misspoke and/or people value transparency over any other<br /> goal. If that's what you want to do, you should co-sponsor it and<br /> vote for it.<br /> <br /> Yours in liberty,<br /> Nick<br /> <br /> P.S. Recognizing that eventual transparency is important to the<br /> aforementioned small and vocal minority, Oliver and I are actually in<br /> negotiations with the campaign for some kind of addendum that would<br /> modify the confidentiality terms to address those concerns.<br /> <br /> _______________________________________________<br /> Lnc-business mailing list<br /> <a href="mailto:Lnc-business@hq.lp.org">Lnc-business@hq.lp.org</a><br /> <a href="http://hq.lp.org/mailman/listinfo/lnc-business_hq.lp.org">http://hq.lp.org/mailman/listinfo/lnc-business_hq.lp.org</a></blockquote>
