Subject: Proposed Policy Manual Addition Regarding Delegate and Speaker Attire at National Convention

Members of the Libertarian National Committee,

I am requesting consideration of a proposed addition to the Libertarian Party Policy Manual establishing a baseline professional dress standard for participation in official proceedings at the upcoming Grand Rapids National Convention and all future conventions.

This proposal is not intended to impose ideological conformity or unnecessary rigidity, but rather to maintain a minimum standard of professionalism and decorum during the Party’s highest governing function.

I respectfully request that a member of the LNC introduce the following language for consideration:

"Proposed Policy Manual Addition — Convention Decorum and Attire Standards

Section X.X — Delegate and Speaker Attire Requirements

In order to preserve a professional atmosphere during all official sessions of the Libertarian Party National Convention, the following minimum attire standards shall apply to all delegates, alternates, speakers, candidates, and individuals addressing the convention body from a microphone during official business sessions:

-Men shall wear collared shirts or equivalent business casual attire.

-Closed-toe shoes shall be required for all participants engaging in convention floor business.

-Business casual attire shall be considered acceptable minimum dress.

-Neatly groomed facial hair shall be permitted.

-Attire commonly understood to be intentionally disruptive, overtly theatrical, fetish-oriented, or materially inconsistent with the professional conduct of convention proceedings shall not be permitted during official business sessions.

-Biological males shall not wear dresses, skirts, or attire traditionally recognized as women’s wear while participating in official convention business or addressing the body.

The Chair, or any officer designee, shall have authority to deny microphone privileges, voting privileges, or floor participation to individuals not meeting these minimum standards until compliance is achieved.

These standards shall apply only during official convention business sessions and shall not govern private social events, hospitality functions, or unofficial gatherings associated with convention activities."

Regardless of differing views on culture or presentation, I believe most reasonable delegates agree that basic standards of professionalism strengthen the credibility and seriousness of the Party’s national proceedings.

Thank you for your timely consideration of this matter!

Respectfully,

Ben Weir

This proposal should be ruled to be out of order.  The LNC Policy Manual is not binding upon convention delegates.  If there is to be a dress code implemented at the Libertarian Party National Convention it must be made as a proposed bylaws amendment and voted on by the convention delegates.  I would encourage Mr. Weir to make such a bylaws proposal from the convention floor and see where it leads.

Subject: Re: Proposed Policy Manual Addition Regarding Delegate and Speaker Attire at National Convention

You haven’t been around on the LNC that long to see.

As a convention delegate I will vote solidly against any dress code bylaw that may come up.  I won’t vote Aye on unlibertarian proposals.  

That being said, such a dress code wouldn’t personally affect me since I tend to wear business casual attire regardless.

I attended the national convention of Young Americans for Liberty a few times.  They had a business casual dress code requiring long pants and a shirt with a collar for men.  This policy was stated in the agreement every attendee signed beforehand.  Each time on the floor some attendees would publicly complain about the dress code.  They would be pulled aside and sent home ejected from the convention.  My stance on that policy was that the attendees agreed in writing to abide by the dress code ahead of time.  If they didn’t like it, they could choose not to attend.

At these YAL conventions I always made sure to wear my Libertarian Party polo shirt to promote the LP.  YAL has a love fest with the Republicans, so I had to be sure to show them where they can find genuine freedom and liberty.

I think we should go ahead with this and workshop a resolution that the LNC encourages these things moving forward. We all support freedom (in theory) but organizations are allowed to set standards, and our standards have been too low for too long. Let’s start looking like real people that others can actually relate to rather than sasquaches in tutus

That's absurd. 

1. We don't have the authority to force delegates to dress up.
2. Even if we did, I don't support the "anti-Starchild" motion.

I've got a lot to say on this, but it doesn't matter - this obviously isn't going to pass, nor would it do anything if it did.

I agree with my fellow Region 3'er, that this should be ruled out of order.

Mr. Thompson,

This isn't being anti-anyone in particular. Very simply we need to be seen as a professional organization, which has been the outspoken desire of those who took over the majority of this body a little over a year ago. While obviously that has not been the case since then I think this would be a simple and long overdue change that the organization needs to make to more toward that direction.

No one's attire will be more embarrassing than people excusing blatant misappropriation. 

No one's attire will be more embarrassing than supposed Libertarians endorsing Trump.  

No dress code can cover up the embarrassment of having people running as Republican candidates while serving on the LNC, or launching repeated unfounded, insane rants about globalist takeovers of the Party that only exist in their mind.

I'll be dressing just fine for the convention, and I expect most here will. But dress code doesn't concern me nearly as much as professionalism in behavior, ethics, and stances. 

If someone wishes to dress in a way that offends me, that's why the good Lord gave me a swiveling neck.

Should this come to a vote, I vote no.

People forget those things whether they are or were the right thing to do or not. They don’t forget dancing naked on the stage or ridiculously outfits. The point being that you seem to miss is that we should be raising our standards if we want to be taken seriously, and allowing members to show off during what should be a serious and productive business meeting once every 2 years on a national stage isn’t a good look. People are free to dress as they wish elsewhere and at other party related functions, but I think this change would be welcomed among the majority of the membership who are serious about what we are meant to be doing.

Subject: Re: Proposed Policy Manual Addition Regarding Delegate and Speaker Attire at National Convention

"Biological males shall not wear dresses, skirts, or attire traditionally recognized as women’s wear while participating in official convention business or addressing the body."

I apologize for not calling this out earlier, but I didn't think we had enough people willing to cosponsor.

This is absolutely absurd.

The Libertarian Party supports LGBT rights, including trans rights. 

Further, we hold that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose.

Saying delegates have to dress according to their "biological sex" is anti-libertarian. It is inappropriate, and frankly bigoted, to enforce some gendered dress code on the convention delegates.

There’s no such thing as “trans rights”. We’re an organization. It’s not out of the question to ask we wear a collared shirt at a convention. Mr. Weir has also stated that no one on this board should be over a certain body mass index, which I clearly don't meet, but you didn't see me running around crying all over social media and in my model UN club. There's also no such thing at "obese rights".

There's nothing absurd about it at all. Having dress codes for a specific event or forum does not mean there is anything inherently hateful or bigoted about it. A hardcore ancap store owner could have the same requirements for patrons but still support their freedom to do their thing elsewhere. Twisting it as you've done is what's absolutely absurd. Not a proposed dress code that is in line with how people have conformed for most of human history.

The proposal is moot because the LNC cannot impose a dress code upon convention delegates.  We lack the authority.  Amending the Policy Manual cannot change that fact.  The only way possible to implement a convention dress code is through a bylaws amendment, and only the credentialed convention delegates have the power to do that.  Any delegate is free to make such a proposal from the convention floor.

I would also request that the LNC pay for and provide rulers for such inspections. Surely those that are upset about the prospect of a dress code would be lacking in certain departments among others.

Mr. Weir spent a Spring Break in Bangkok; he’s got a 6^th sense.

As for the motion, I will consult with our convention parliamentarian, and review the bylaws on whether or not the national convention can have standing rules adopted by the LNC or whether those standing rules would have to be adopted by the body at convention.

Subject: Re: Proposed Policy Manual Addition Regarding Delegate and Speaker Attire at National Convention

1. The policy manual amendment specifically and collectively targets "biological males" in a way that restricts their expressive conduct in a way no other group faces.
   
   
   This collective depreciation targeting sex and gender expression is a violation of standards expected of LNC members under the policy manual §1.07(4), which prohibits "all collective depreciation, whether alluding to sex, race, color, national origin, disability, age, religion, or any other protected category..."
   
   
   While one could argue that this binds individual members and not actions of the entire LNC, the enforcement mechanism of the motion is the Chair or their "officer designee." Neither the Chair, nor the officers, can impose a biological sex-restricted dress code upon the delegates as per the policy manual itself and the basic principles we all should hold.

2. Further, the policy manual places restrictions on the LNC's behavior, and does not bind convention delegates. Delegates to convention have not signed onto the policy manual and their authority is not contingent upon meeting its requirements. We cannot impose a binding requirement on a superior body.
   
   
3. Convention rules are governed by the bylaws, which do not defer to or even reference the policy manual. The only dress requirement under the bylaws are that delegates must wear ID badges. The bylaws do not impose anti-trans measures, and the policy manual expressly prohibits it.
   
   
4. We cannot impose restrictions on state affiliates as to which delegates they may send, which includes imposing restrictions on trans delegates. The bylaws give sole authority to the state affiliates, save for very narrow rules, and imposing an anti-LGBT guideline is not only anti-libertarian, but abridges the autonomy of state affiliates. 
   
   
5. By the time this ballot concludes, the convention will likely be over, and the LNC will be repopulated - it is a moot ballot for the upcoming convention and still fundamentally flawed for all other conventions.
   
   
6. We hold that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose. Further, we welcome the diversity that freedom brings.

I request a ruling on these objections. There is no reason to legitimize this anti-LGBT bigotry masquerading as professionalism.

Subject: Re: Proposed Policy Manual Addition Regarding Delegate and Speaker Attire at National Convention

Dear All,

The Chair has reviewed the proposed Policy Manual amendment regarding convention attire standards in light of the Libertarian Party Bylaws, Convention Special Rules of Order, and the parliamentary authority adopted by the Party.

The proposed amendment would authorize the Chair or an officer designee to “deny microphone privileges, voting privileges, or floor participation” to individuals not meeting specified attire standards. After review, I rule that the proposal, as written, is substantially out of order to the extent that it attempts to impose binding participation restrictions upon convention delegates through a Policy Manual amendment.

Article 7, Section 1 provides that “The National Committee shall have control and management of all the affairs, properties and funds of the Party consistent with these bylaws.” This language grants the National Committee broad administrative authority over Party affairs. However, that authority is expressly limited by the phrase “consistent with these bylaws.”

The bylaws separately establish the National Convention as the Party’s governing deliberative assembly. Article 10 comprehensively governs conventions, delegates, voting eligibility, and convention rules. Article 10, Section 2 provides that delegates “shall be those so accredited who have registered at the convention.” Article 10, Section 3 grants affiliate parties authority to determine delegates pursuant to their own bylaws and Party rules. Article 5, Section 5 further provides that “The autonomy of the affiliate and sub-affiliate parties shall not be abridged by the National Committee.”

The bylaws also expressly specify the requirements for admission to the convention hall. Article 10, Section 6(e) states that “All members must wear the identification badge issued upon registration in order to be admitted to the convention hall.” No additional bylaw provision authorizes the National Committee to impose further mandatory conditions upon delegate voting rights, floor participation, or microphone access based upon attire.

Further, Article 10, Section 10 provides that “The Party’s convention special rules of order may be amended only by a regular convention.” The proposed amendment would create substantive convention participation rules governing floor access, debate participation, microphone privileges, and voting eligibility. Those subjects fall within convention governance and parliamentary procedure rather than ordinary administrative management.

Article 16 adopts the current edition of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised as the Party’s parliamentary authority except where inconsistent with the bylaws or adopted special rules. Under standard parliamentary principles, voting and participation rights of credentialed delegates are core rights of the assembly and are not ordinarily subject to suspension absent explicit authority in governing documents or duly adopted rules of the assembly itself.

The bylaws further demonstrate that where the Party intended to authorize suspension or removal powers, such authority was expressly enumerated, including suspension of affiliate parties under Article 5, Section 6, suspension of officers under Article 6, Section 7, suspension of members-at-large under Article 7, Section 5, and suspension of presidential nominees under Article 14, Section 5. No comparable authority exists permitting denial of delegate participation rights based upon attire standards established solely through Policy Manual action.

Accordingly, I rule that while the National Committee may adopt aspirational statements regarding professionalism, decorum, or recommended attire at Party functions, and may establish administrative standards applicable to staff, vendors, guests, contractors, hospitality functions, or venue operations, it may not through Policy Manual amendment alone impose binding participation conditions upon credentialed convention delegates or authorize denial of voting rights, microphone privileges, or floor participation absent authority granted by the bylaws, Convention Special Rules of Order, or rules duly adopted by the convention itself.

Therefore, the enforcement provisions contained within the proposed amendment are ruled out of order.

This ruling does not impair the ordinary authority of the Convention Chair under parliamentary authority to maintain decorum and address genuinely disruptive conduct during convention proceedings pursuant to adopted rules and parliamentary procedure.

This ruling also does not apply to the LNC passing PM amendments on decorum affecting this body and its meetings. 

With that said, I expect you all to look sharp.

Sincerely,

Steven Nekhaila

Chairman, LNC

I appreciate Mr. Lam's appeal from the decision of the Chair.

While I'm more than a smidge inclined to support the Chair's ruling that this is out of order, it may unfortunately take me the full remainder of my term, now only a few more days, to fully consider the depth of the issue.

Aloha, everyone!

I figure I will just piss everyone off at the same time to save effort. 

Keith, 

I will note the tactical use of identity politics and weaponized policy to delegitimize rather than answer you opponents is both stupid and repugnant.

That said, I am against the policy — because we lack the authority to implement it, it violates member rights, and it is the kind of policy that invites reactance which can hurt the LP. 

Finally, there are more important discussions we should be having about protecting the organization or otherwise about how modern politics is really funded, and how the LP can meaningfully compete if we do not adapt to the circumstances. The dress code issue is a symptom of a much bigger problem.

Perhaps we would not need to worry about the dress code so much if we ourselves modeled honor in our conduct and integrity in our leadership.

Despite the time you all have sucked away from my state party and the damage your networks have tried to inflict on us, I would be curious to know if anyone on this board has a better claim to a bigger impact on real-world liberty? 

*2026 Legislative Activism Draft Preview*

We could be doing more, guys. 

A lot more. 

Mr. Chair, 

Your ruling is good, in my opinion, if excessively long, and somewhat inconsistent with your past actions by censoring and retaliating against dissenters — I am glad to see you are turning over a new leaf here on protecting member rights.

Mahalo! 

Austin Martin
