<br>
<br>
After the review of the bid from the in-house A/V provider from the Rosen
<br>
Shingle Creek, edits and approval from Special Counsel Oliver Hall, and the
<br>
decision of the Convention Oversight Committee not to move forward with an
<br>
addendum for remote sites in other states, I approved the contract with the
<br>
Audio Visual Group and directed Mr. Kraus to execute it on behalf of the
<br>
Libertarian National Committee.
<br>
<br>
As a point of personal privilege, I didn't appreciate receiving over 100
<br>
emails sent to the business list over the weekend while I was visiting
<br>
Minneapolis to work in the community with the state chair and activists
<br>
from the Libertarian Party of Minnesota. Getting a message that my Gmail
<br>
storage was full while in the middle of a protest march and hours away from
<br>
being back to a computer was particularly inconvenient. The same few
<br>
members of this committee have been exceedingly inconsiderate to their
<br>
fellow members in using a list intended for party business as their water
<br>
cooler and sending tens of messages on the same topic, rather than
<br>
collecting their thoughts into one or two emails. Perhaps this strategy of
<br>
flooding the list is persuasive to others, but it has not been persuasive
<br>
to me.
<br>
<br>
Also, a LNC member of the Convention Oversight Committee apparently thought
<br>
it was appropriate to share exact figures of two contracts to the public
<br>
list, something I find ironic, given that the same member has often been a
<br>
strong proponent of confidentiality of contracts and their details. In the
<br>
future, I would ask all members of the LNC to use good judgment in not
<br>
sharing confidential information publicly.
<br>
<br>
As the days grow shorter between now and the second sitting of convention,
<br>
I would ask members of this committee to focus on the work of the
<br>
Libertarian Party rather than a flurry of emails and motions in the waning
<br>
weeks of the term, especially since there will be a new LNC in less than a
<br>
month.
<br>
<br>
My flight and room are booked and I look forward to seeing those of you who
<br>
will be attending in person in Orlando.
<br>
<br>
Yours in liberty,
<br>
Nick
<br>
