[Lnc-votes] [Lnc-business] draft minutes of 04/15/17 LNC session

[lnc-...@hq.lp.org]

Attached are the first draft minutes from the April 15-16, 2017 LNC meeting.

Please note that comments from the LNC on the minutes are due by May 7.

I have heard no one express any issue with dubbing the newly formed committee as the Social Media Process Review Committee, so that's what I've called it in the minutes.

I see that my footer text disappeared starting with the Region 5 Report appendix.  I didn't spot it until after I had my PDF built.  I've fixed it in the underlying file so it will look right in the next update, but I didn't take the time to rebuild the PDF just for that.

There was a snafu with Mr. Somes' motion regarding Paladin Strategies.  When he originally stated the motion he said the contract would be for up to 3 months.  When I requested more precise wording in writing for the minutes, the written version said for up to 6 months, and I didn't immediately notice the discrepancy, and that's what I typed.  All of you heard 3 months, and you couldn't see that the written version said 6 months, so Mr. Hagan's amendment was based on the 3 months * $5,000/mo = $15,000.  Twice during the debate, including right before the vote, the chair read the motion from my screen, so he read 6 months.  RONR prescribes that the language read just prior to the vote is the official language in such a situation, so the minutes say 6 months.  That makes the $15,000 amendment look odd, but that's what happened.

Page 15, third paragraph, should the minutes state that Ms Harlos called "New Jersey" for the coin toss?

Page 86, Bylaws and Rules Committee applicant Ima Waldo is not a member of the party, and therefore not eligible to serve on the committee. Mr Redpath's nomination of the slate excluded ineligible committee applicants.

Tim Hagan

In the nominees for bylaws and rules, Mr. Ima Waldo is not a member, and hence not qualified and was not nominated by the "en masse" motion.  However, he would have been a good choice due to his honesty.

Joshua A. Katz

That was a close one.  Hagan edged out Katz by only a few minutes to earn the brownie point.  Can we get a membership check on Ima Waldo, for register #3??

I do think "New Jersey" should be included in the toss notes.
