Motion 1.
Motion to Substitute Mr. Danke's Proposed Motion:
I move to substitute the following for the pending motion relating to convention ballot records.
"The Libertarian National Committee directs the Head Teller to retain all ballots cast and all related paper records from the 2026 Libertarian National Convention until both of the following have occurred:
-
First, the data-security investigation referenced in the former Secretary's February 19, 2026 notice, including the cyber-insurance carrier's review, has been formally closed and reported to the Committee.
In no event shall these records be destroyed sooner than twenty-two months after the close of the Convention. Any destruction thereafter requires an affirmative vote of the Committee.
Rationale:
Former Secretary McMahon's February 19, 2026 notice states that data and activity-log retention procedures are in effect and that the carrier investigation remains open pending a full report. While that investigation is open, and while the Committee remains
under active or pending litigation, calendaring the destruction of primary election records is premature and inconsistent with the Committee's own stated retention obligations. Twenty-two months reflects standard election-records retention practice.
The 22-month floor mirrors the federal election-records retention period under 52 U.S.C. § 20701.

Executive Session, Pending and Anticipated Legal Matters

Motion: "I move that the Libertarian National Committee enter executive session to discuss pending and reasonably anticipated legal matters, including existing litigation-hold and records-preservation obligations and their effect on the custody and disposition
