LPVA Constitution Committee Report - Motion to Adopt

[Paul Bracco]

Colleagues,

I've attached my proposal for the order of our report. All of these proposals have been passed by the committee already, what is being voted on here is the construction and ordering of the report.

Given that the town hall is scheduled for Monday, I'd like to get either this or another ordering of the report approved soon.

I move that we adopt the attached report as the final report of this committee.

Sincerely,

Paul Bracco

Vice Chair - Libertarian Party of Virginia

[Paul Bracco]

I vote YES

I have two comments:

1. The legend says "deletions precede additions" but the very first deletions come after the additions.
   
2. Proposal 9. The Solution says: Change the language of Article V, section 8, to mirror the corresponding language of Article V, section 5, i.e., replace “may” with “shall.” However, that is not reflected in the proposed update, where it still has the old problem phrase "The business of such District Conventions may include, but is not limited to, the election of District officers".

I would like to see #2 resolved before approving.

Thanks,

-William

Good evening Mr. Ogle,

You are correct about the legend, however those first sections are done intentionally to move the word "the" outside of the quotation marks (highlighted below). As these quotation marks were left unchanged by the proposal, the insert of "the" outside of the quotation marks preceding the striking of "the" inside the quotation marks is the only way to make this change without it becoming unnecessarily complex. I've confirmed that there are no other sections of the report where the inserted language precedes the struck language.

As for Proposal 9, this is an issue with the rationale, not with the proposed changes. The language was amended from the original (may to shall) in the committee so that we were not requiring district committees to hold officer elections at every convention, but merely at least once between regular conventions.

This is especially relevant if a district committee were to hold more than one convention between the LPVA's regular conventions. For example if a district has already held officer elections but wished to hold a convention specifically to consider amendments to their bylaws we would not wish to require the district committee to hold officer elections at this subsequent convention as well.

I've updated the rationale for Proposal 9 to better reflect the amendment as approved by the committee.
