<br>
this was early warning. I had been thinking about this since July 1. I will
<br>
try think of ways to provide earlier notice of my thought process.
<br>
<br>
I had some conversations with LPHQ staff first -- is there a precedent,
<br>
what do we think the bylaws say, could it be effective, etc etc. Then I
<br>
approached Nick figuring there was no point in proceeding if he was
<br>
unwilling. Nick raised many of the objections that appear on this thread,
<br>
including some skepticism that this would pass ethical or bylaw muster. I
<br>
convinced Nick that my job is by definition to NOT be political but instead
<br>
present the LNC with options. I don't get to say something is ethical for
<br>
the party -- the LNC is meant to be the heart of the party.
<br>
<br>
If the proposal dies on this thread, I am content to have presented it for
<br>
consideration. I have no ego to bruise. And although I know that as a group
<br>
we tend to be bashful and shy about presenting honest opinions, I trust
<br>
that the LNC will give me honest feedback and not worry about sparing my
<br>
feelings. ;)
<br>
<br>
I'm not proceeding without a resolution of approval by the LNC. If is seems
<br>
like there is enough positive interest and agreement that something like
<br>
this is allowed under the bylaws, I will ask someone one the LNC to make
<br>
such a proposal. If it dies in committee, then we won't waste any time on
<br>
it in Austin. I will be presenting many more proposals to the LNC. I
<br>
seriously have no vanity involved. Specifically as a Solutions Architect in
<br>
my past life, I learned to present EVERY solution I could think of to my
<br>
bosses, because often there perspective was different from mine. And often
<br>
they accepted proposals I thought were bad and rejected proposals I thought
<br>
were good because of factors outside of my silo. My job is to develop and
<br>
implement solutions. When there is a question about an idea, I will always
<br>
bring it to the LNC.
