<div dir="ltr">Thanks for asking. Short answer: I envision the committee making a recommendation to the LNC. I agree with my colleague from Colorado that a comprehensive messaging strategy is a board-level decision, but I often think board-level decisions can be aided by asking a small committee to do research and report, with the decision reserved to the board.<div><br></div><div>There was also a question about my intent. This is my second term, in some capacity, on the LNC. It's also my second term on the APRC. Based on that small degree of experience, it seems to me that the LNC has, to a large extent, not taken all that much of a position on questions like "how do we wish to present ourselves to the world?" Instead, we've left it to staff with no real direction, and then occasionally said "you're doing it wrong." I think it is better to provide overall guidance and instructions, followed by accountability, rather than trying to exercise governance by looking at progress on a daily basis. </div><div><br></div><div>I'd like us to be able to ask questions on a quarterly basis like "Are our communications presenting the party as we've instructed?" "Has there been an impact on X?" "Do we need to adjust our strategy?" I think this would be better than periodically freaking out over a FB meme or an urgent-gram. </div><div><br></div><div>Direct, assess, hold accountable. Have a core idea of how we'd like to be presented that is known ahead of time, not arising from rejections. This would enable this board to focus on large objectives. When we do not have such things in place, the tendency is to micro-manage, because that becomes the only way we can exert control.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Joshua A.

And evenmoreso if that committee is cloaked in secrecy. Members have a vested interest in seeing that we are proper stewards of the Statement of Principles.
