<br>
I wanted to see if there was opposition to cutting the number from 6 to 5. I have discussed this with the chair and he was okay with me floating the proposal to the LNC.<br>
<br>
My primary reason for wanting to cut one issue is simply to reduce the burden on staff and allow us to focus on some other things right now.<br>
<br>
The number of issues produced each year has varied, and you can see how many easily by seeing the archives list here: <a href="https://www.lp.org/lpnews-archive/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.lp.org/lpnews-arch<wbr>ive/</a><br>
<br>
While some people have wanted us to produce more issues, and others have suggested we eliminate LP News, my personal preference is that we do continue to produce between 4 and 6 issues each year. There are still a lot of members who don't pay attention to email or visit or website.<br>
<br>
Carla Howell has been serving as editor of LP News. Her last day is June 30. She has generated 3 issues of LP News this year (February, April, and June issues).<br>
<br>
Eric Dixon has returned to staff. I plan to have him serve as the editor of LP News. He has served as editor in the past.<br>
<br>
Rather than generate August, October, and December issues, I'd prefer to generate September and December issues.<br>
<br>
However, again, the LNC, passed a budget for 6, and if you want me to generate 6 issues, I'll do that, which will mean getting Eric to work on an August issue right away.<br>
<br>
Please speak up if you are opposed to me cutting one issue of LP News. I'll review any opposition and discuss with the chair before making a final decision on this.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
