<div dir="ltr"><div>I agree with Caryn Ann and Joshua, and as is the case with them, I also mean no negativity towards Trent's effort and willingness to provide us with info. I have a similar position about asking for reports of the Platform/Bylaws/Credentials Committees in our meetings, which is why I make this comment at the start of every time these committees are asked to report to the LNC. These committees are created by and report to the convention delegates, not to the LNC. The LNC has a role in appointing some of the members of these committees, but that's it. I think they should only be on LNC agendas when the LNC is making its allotted appointments to them. The reports don't tend to burn a lot of time at our meetings, but it muddies the water for deciding what is/isn't LNC business.<br><br></div>-Alicia<br><br><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 9, 2016 at 3:06 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">I agree entirely.
