<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Caryn Ann, I understand and agree with your concerns about committee scope creep and backdoor circumvention of the principle and message content approval responsibilities
of the Platform Committee and convention delegates. There is wide-spread disagreement within all levels of the LP on whether LP outreach message content is or should be based on platform content that is too timid, too bold or as many variations in between
as there are individual Libertarians. However, many would agree that the voice of the LP would benefit from a major overhaul of our messaging
<b><u>technique</u></b> strategy that has an undeniably poor track record.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Like you, I am inclined to think that passive-aggressive attempts to promote a false-dichotomy Libertarian conflict between principles and getting stuff done
is both divisive and subversive to our LP platform, messaging strategy and freedom goals. At the same time, blind allegiance to static historical imperatives does a disservice to our intellectual abilities. Reality suggests that LP consensus on Platform disagreements
is not likely to occur in the foreseeable future, with or without a “night of the long knives” strategy proposed by a small cadre of “Libertarian” Machiavellian authoritarians with latent statist motivations.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Institutions, by their very nature as groups of individuals, suffer from inertia and internal disagreements. Institutions are great focal points but their size
and diversity often results in diminished productivity returns unless they are dominated by top-down dictatorial authoritarians that offend the liberty-oriented sensibilities of most Libertarians. Accordingly, I propose that we embrace our internal institutional
disagreements and leverage our diversity to refocus our Libertarian institutions as inspirational focal points designed to lead by example, empower and motivate individual Libertarians to strike out on their own and do the bulk of getting Libertarian stuff
done.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">I love the LP and LNC as inspirational focal points and gatherings. There I can network with talented action-oriented Libertarians with an admirable variety
of persuasions. That diversity is directly responsible for a wealth of food-for-thought ideas on bottom-up personal opportunities to move the needle in the direction of freedom. Those ideas naturally lead to self-starter collaborations within smaller groups
of like-minded Libertarians that share similar principles and can get Libertarian stuff done without institutional distractions.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

disagreements and inspire individual Libertarians to emerge from their institutional cocoon comfort zones and seize the initiative to accelerate getting Libertarian stuff done.<u></u><u></u></span></p><span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">There are 5 co-sponsors of this motion, which is more than enough to sponsor an email ballot, however there are two technical problems with the wording, one of which is fairly important
to note. I want to make sure the co-sponsors are aware of this before I send it out for a vote.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">1) This motion references "EFC", but if someone is not reading these threads as we are, and they're just reading our minutes later, they'll have no clue what this motion is talking about.
At the time we created the committee, we didn't specify any name for the committee at all, but it was under an agenda heading about reviewing the 2016 campaign. Following the meeting when I needed to have staff add this committee to our website, I merely
had them designate it as the Committee to Solicit Bids for Reviewing 2016 Campaign. That way it would be easy to find in our minutes what that committee was.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The committee members themselves nicknamed it the Empowered Future Committee (? I think ?), but that name appears nowhere in our minutes, nor does the acronym EFC.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The name confusion will will leave readers in the dark about what it was this motion did.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">2) The bigger technical issue with this motion is that it actually imposes new requirements on the committee and doesn't accurately represent what the date in the original motion was
for. This wording says nothing about changing the due date for the bids, which is what the January 10th date was. However, the wording now says the committee is to present us a report by the date of January 30, though the original motion required no report
from the committee to the LNC in January. If we mean to make the bid deadline January 30, the committee would presumably need some time after the bid submission deadline to come up with any recommendations and make any sort of report back to us about the
bids.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Is that what the co-sponsors intended to do? Impose a new reporting requirement on an unreasonable time frame?<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">My suggestion to fix both issues is that you take Joshua's idea to merely amend the motion we adopted in December to change the date, and leave the rest of the wording alone. (Okay,
technically Joshua said just to change the "1" to a "3", but this representation is just a little more readable.) Amend the motion we adopted in December as follows:<u></u><u></u></p>
