<div dir="ltr">The fact is that, like Norm's prior motion, most of these do not have a specific direction to a person or to a deadline (and I suspect such would be meant with strenuous 'micromanagement" objections), but that doesn't mean that they should just fall through the cracks. We don't have any procedure in place that I see to make sure that they don't. We should. <div><br></div><div>As far as clumsy wording or request in this regard: Guilty as charged. I am learning.</div><div><br></div><div>I am asking publicly since the motion was public, the Region 1 member's request was public and I believe in public communications on public directives. </div><div>And it is an example that we have a failure in our process.</div><div><br></div><div>I realize you don't agree that we *should* be making directions such as the one above but we *did* and I expect when I go back through several years of minutes, I will find many others.</div><div><br></div><div>This isn't to finger point or blame or do any other completely nonproductive and useless thing. It is to note an issue and call upon US to correct it with a collective responsibility to the LNC. </div><div><br></div><div>And FWIW I see the same issue in my own state party at times, and am working on that level to correct. This is a common institutional thing. And because it is common and is an accountability thing, I think it needs to be on list. I realize you may disagree, but you and I have different views of institutional transparency *on some things* (certainly not all).</div><div><br></div><div>Members notice we don't follow through. Members deserve to see the follow through and the discussion when we fail.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Oct 15, 2016 at 4:50 PM, Joshua Katz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:planning4liberty@gmail.com" target="_blank">planning4liberty@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">The LNC gives directions; it, in general, doesn't carry them out. In most organizations, if a board direction is not followed, the person involved will be approached privately to find out if they are following it, or what's going on.

It just expresses the sense of the LNC that the Chair should do something. If I were the Chair, and I had a different sense, I'd probably follow my sense. On the other hand, if the LNC had directed some action of me, I'd probably do as directed. </div><div><br></div><div>I don't know if the individuals involved were approached privately, but I'd suggest starting there if not. If that doesn't resolve the follow-up issue, I'd suggest bringing it back to the board with a specific action in mind, such as turning this into a directive.</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, I'd suggest that, in the future, motions of this sort be directives, and give a date on which the directed individual is to report.
