<br>
<br>
With the news from the Rosen Group that Shingle Creek will not be
<br>
available, we are working to move to an alternate venue in Orlando, the
<br>
Rosen Center combined with the Convention Center, to hold the second
<br>
sitting of the national convention. That involves negotiations regarding an
<br>
addendum to the convention contract to reflect any concessions or changes.
<br>
Our position in those negotiations is not improved by members of the
<br>
Libertarian National Convention agitating to cancel the entire convention
<br>
contract.
<br>
<br>
Less than a month ago, my integrity was questioned and people speculated
<br>
that I was lying about doing everything in my power to ensure that there
<br>
would be a second sitting of the convention in Orlando. If you doubted my
<br>
resolve then, do not doubt it now; I will do everything I can to ensure
<br>
that we have a second sitting for the delegates who wish to attend and to
<br>
not waste all of the work that the Convention Oversight Committee has done
<br>
to get us to this point.
<br>
<br>
We have received assurances from the CoC for months that everything was
<br>
under control for an in-person convention, that all precautions would be
<br>
taken, that regulations weren't being enforced or didn't matter, and that
<br>
even talking about cancelling the convention was an attempt to make the
<br>
convention fail. They went so far as to explicitly prevent me from using
<br>
the “cancellation or force majeure clauses in the contract with Rosen.”
<br>
Even though I told everyone that I've never executed a contract in bad
<br>
faith in my life, still some doubted my commitment to follow through.
<br>
<br>
Doubt no more.
<br>
<br>
I trust that the Convention Oversight Committee will ensure that all the
<br>
events are a success, that the LNC will vote to support the bylaws proposal
<br>
for full online participation for any delegates who wish to participate
<br>
remotely for whatever reason, and that the LNC will meet to make a pro
<br>
forma change to the location to be the Rosen Center. I trust that everyone
<br>
will work together to make sure that the party upholds its commitments and
<br>
works with our counterparty to fulfill our contract. I trust that people
<br>
will stop fighting about whether the convention will be a success, and
<br>
start working to make sure it is a success.
<br>
<br>
See you in Orlando,
<br>
Nick
