I vote no.  

I believe this lawsuit is better suited to be in the hands of the ExCom rather than another empowered committee

Friends,

When it comes to litigation, roles, and responsibilities....whenever the LNC itself is ultimately the party suing or being sued, it should be that same body making decisions about those lawsuits.  

Creating/appointing some  committee to do this puts a greater distance between the LNC and it's responsibilities as the ultimate "decider" of how we proceed in legal matters, creates a greater committee bureaucracy, and weakens the decision-making process by having far less input on the part of LNC members...all of whom are ultimately responsible.

It's bad enough that the small EC had been making these decisions without full LNC input....adding another committee makes a bad situation worse.

[Secretary LNC]

A policy manual amendment was made last meeting at which you did not attend.  I can send you the language if you wish.  Full notice was given.

Madame Secretary, I'm well aware of the amendment was proposed.

It's just a bad idea.

[Secretary LNC]

You could have came and debated.

Meanwhile the motion, had passed I'll post results later.

[Adrian F Malagon]

While I disagree with Mr. Hagopian on this matter, I appreciate his argument, and the fact that he was at our last meeting to make it.

Mr. Tuniewicz,

We’re not friends. We’re not even “friends.” Please never refer to me as such and then follow it with your pompous, grandstanding tripe. “Folks” is far more appropriate. I would echo what the Sec said, but I don’t want to encourage you to come to meetings. I prefer productivity.

Apologies Madam Sec, far be it for me to correct a native English speaker, but I believe you’ve missed the Vice Chair in this final tally.
