that after seeing Mr. Sarwark remove the prior COC chair, Ms. Ryan feels her head could also be on the chopping block if she does not comply with Mr. Sarwark's demands.”

This is all speculation about ‘feelings’ of other people. It adds nothing but negativity to the discussion, in my opinion. You’re speaking for someone else in a manner that I would find offensive if it were me.

> I think the LNC needs to know about something that happened during the COC meeting tonight. The LNC is currently in the middle of email ballot votes, one of which would determine whether Daniel Hayes is still a member of the COC, and another of which would change the policy to transfer Mr. Sarwark's COC-related powers to the LNC. The new COC chair is being heavily pressured by the LNC chair, and I'm sure that after seeing Mr. Sarwark remove the prior COC chair, Ms. Ryan feels her head could also be on the chopping block if she does not comply with Mr. Sarwark's demands. Tonight Ms. Ryan asked the COC members to recommend someone to fill the vacancy. She did say she didn't want to bring it up, but she has been painted into a corner and ordered by the LNC chair to do it. Several of us explained that we do not intend to act until the LNC email ballots play out. I moved to postpone the matter until next week's meeting, but because of Mr. Sarwark's pressure on Ms. Ryan she said she had to disallow my motion because she's been ordered by Nick to get it done. Ultimately the COC refused to act under such improper influence by Mr. Sarwark. The LNC policy change about COC appointments is poised to pass, and Mr. Sarwark apparently wants very much to exercise his power before the LNC reclaims it. Only because the majority of us on the COC were appointed by the LNC are we able to stand up to Mr. Sarwark's effort. He is in no position to threaten us. No committee chair should should be made to feel that if she doesn't disallow legitimate motions, she will likely be removed from her position. Ms. Ryan must not be subjected to these intimidation tactics. -Alicia
