Subject: Agenda Item: LNC Member Activity Reports Proposed Discussion: Motion & Request for Seconds

Earlier today, I received the following suggestion from Sean Kennedy, of Massachusetts. Now, if the Libertarian Party were to have a Triple Crown, ala Major League Baseball, Mr. Kennedy would certainly receive it: An active Member, and Volunteer, who serves as Chair of the Unified Libertarians of Massachusetts, our Massachusetts Affiliate, while simultaneously, serving as an elected Town Councilor for the Town of Bridgewater, Massachusetts. #Respect

Good evening gentlemen,

I am proposing the following item for inclusion on the agenda of a future LNC meeting. Given the ongoing strife on the public list, it would benefit the party and its membership to gain a clearer understanding of what our LNC members and regional representatives are actively doing to advance the party's goals. As an active chair and elected Libertarian, it would be reassuring to know that those in our elected roles are also "doing the work."

The goal of this item is not to spark debate between members, but rather to provide a structured opportunity for each member to share what they have accomplished in the past month and outline their plans for the upcoming month. This could take 2-3 minutes per member. I urge all present at the meeting to participate and provide input. Without a response, an abstention may be perceived as a lack of active engagement on the board, which could raise concerns for both the board and the broader membership.

For reference, here is a suggested format for the agenda item:

Agenda Item: LNC Member Activity Reports Proposed Discussion:

Allocate time during the meeting for a dedicated discussion period where each LNC member, including regional representatives, is expected to provide input by reporting on their activities in their capacity as LNC members over the past month and outlining their plans for the upcoming month.

This structured reporting aims to enhance accountability and transparency among the LNC, affiliates, and membership. Note that this is not intended as a debate or Q&A session, but rather an opportunity to demonstrate to the broader membership that the LNC is actively engaged and working on their behalf.

Objective: Foster open communication, track progress, and align efforts by sharing individual contributions and goals.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,

Sean Kennedy Chair, Unified Libertarians of Massachusetts LPMA

Accordingly, I am requesting that the following Motion be sent via Email, that upon passage, the action to be effective immediately, commencing with the first monthly "Special Meeting" in October 2025, and moving forward on a monthly basis. This will be a verbal report. As always, I would appreciate assistance from Mr. Secretary, in creating the language necessary for a formal motion, if necessary.  I am also asking for seconds.

Mr. Ford, you should know that we cannot do this as this would require self-reflections, collaboration, and productivity which are prohibited by our governing documents. This would infringe on our right to grandstand and engage in personal attacks, and we cannot afford to become distracted right now.
