I think that's a decision the LNC should make. If the LNC passes a motion asking staff or whomever is administering our emails lists to make all the participants view-able, or if the chair instructs me to, then I'll make sure staff complies with that. I'm skeptical though that the LNC would decide to do that, and that's why my default position is to not disclose all of the participants.</span><br><span></span><br><span>I don't monitor who's on those lists myself.

Thanks also to our other caller, Greg Faust of the LP Radical Caucus, for taking the time to participate and ask questions.

As I noted on the call, it would be nice when talking to LP members, for instance, to know if they are on the LNC reflector list, so if they already are, I don't need to tell them about it, and can assume a greater awareness of what the LNC does than if they are not subscribers. If people want to use an alias when subscribing to a list, for individual privacy, they should be able to do that in my opinion, but some folks would like their participation in the party to be open and visible for purposes of better communication, networking, etc., with other LP members, and those individuals should be able to do that too.</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span> I think Robert Kraus told me there is a way to see this info, but I don't know how to do it and from what you said on the call it sounds like you were saying a special log-in is needed. With Yahoogroups, a service where anyone can start a list for free, it's easy and public to see how many people are subscribed to a list and other basic info about it (see e.g. <a href="https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/CALibs/info">https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/CALibs/info</a> ).</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>Love & Liberty,</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span> ((( starchild )))</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>At-Large Representative, Libertarian National Committee</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span> (415) 625-FREE</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span> @StarchildSF</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>On Jan 17, 2017, at 4:21 PM, Wes Benedict wrote:</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>Starchild, per your request, I put 20 sheets of LNC letterhead in an envelope to go out in tomorrow's mail to you.</span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>Ken Moellman or Robert Kraus (let us know if you start on this so you don't both spend time on it):</span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite"><span>Starchild has requested a list of all of the email groups the LNC has, such as this one (lnc-business), aprc, statechairs, convention, etc. If that's a reasonably easy task, please send that list.
