You forgot to mention my response, which is:

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on 2009.12.05 at 13.20.26 Michael H. Wilson

paulie at some point, not today, we need to get more information as to what Wes means when you wrote; “Wes needs press releases and articles that are ready to go, more so than ideas”.

I’m sure there are some of us who can help.
Thanks
on 2009.12.05 at 13.46.22 George Phillies

Where on earth is this Massachusetts litigation stuff coming from? Not Massachusetts.
on 2009.12.05 at 14.39.34 pauliecannoli

Colley: there will be a convention fee around $30 for those who do not buy rooms and meals
on 2009.12.05 at 14.40.57 pauliecannoli

Michael, I think it is more or less self explanatory. If you have something that is ready to go, rather than just an idea for what Wes needs to put together, shoot it to him and he may be able to put it to use.
on 2009.12.05 at 14.42.33 pauliecannoli

Hawkridge: The 30 is supposed to be for materials – not seating and voting. [/hawk]

Some disagreement over whether charging delegates to vote is against the bylaws.
on 2009.12.05 at 14.45.19 pauliecannoli

Ballot access report – 27 states at present

on 2009.12.05 at 15.04.43 pauliecannoli

About 15k needed for about 7700 sig nm. Redpath wants it considered in budget. Wants to help IL in 10. May want to start Nebraska.

Winger is paying Kohlhaas in some state. Missed the state.
on 2009.12.05 at 15.12.34 pauliecannoli

Redpath – 15k NM
IL – 80k NM, IL might do 5-10k
NE – 15k

100k total

Needs to verify w/ Winger that includes 2012 Nebraska

Dixon – don’t want to go negative on budget
on 2009.12.05 at 15.16.26 pauliecannoli

5% retention in Nebraska – Winger says that they have always met the 5% test before
on 2009.12.05 at 15.16.49 pauliecannoli

Starr – how much more expensive would it be to do it in 2012?
on 2009.12.05 at 15.17.55 pauliecannoli

5% NE above refers to any statewide office
on 2009.12.05 at 15.19.46 pauliecannoli

Believes Fox has good chance at 5% for IL comptroller, would save from having to do 2012
on 2009.12.05 at 15.20.53 pauliecannoli

Starr: chance to fail in 2010, better to just go for 2012
on 2009.12.05 at 15.22.21 pauliecannoli

Redpath: Chance to run 2010 candidates
on 2009.12.05 at 16.07.02 pauliecannoli

..some more I forgot, then exec session…now back from break
on 2009.12.05 at 16.07.49 Michael H. Wilson

Thanks I should have been clear. We need to know what he is looking for when he says articles. Does he want them for the news letter or something else, op-eds?

I’ll contact him and ask.

Thank again for the work.

Waiting for Sullentrup
on 2009.12.05 at 16.10.13 pauliecannoli

Flood’s b-day. He says he would rather not hear happy birthday song being sung.
on 2009.12.05 at 16.13.01 pauliecannoli

It is apparently illegal to sing badly in Nashville
on 2009.12.05 at 16.13.48 pauliecannoli

MW – anything and everything.

Moving to budget discussion
on 2009.12.05 at 16.17.15 pauliecannoli

Starr – increase ED/chair solicitations budget to fund ballot access proposals; they would be conditional on money being raised.
on 2009.12.05 at 16.22.41 pauliecannoli

Dixon – no need to further complicate budget (as best I understood what he said)

Starr – this would make it clear that if money is raised for ballot access it should be spent for ballot access)

Redpath – likes Starr’s plan but would like immediate authorization for 15k for NM
on 2009.12.05 at 16.24.27 pauliecannoli

Jingozian – two budgets: minimum budget and performance-based budget
on 2009.12.05 at 16.25.45 pauliecannoli

Hinkle motion – ballot access line item be raised from 0 to 15k, surplus reduced by 15k
on 2009.12.05 at 16.29.02 pauliecannoli

Hinkle speaking to motion – need to fill in some zeros on budget so we send message to membership that all these other categories are important (EG see Phillies article at IPR:

http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/2009/12/lnc-meeting-thread/

2nded by Wrights – passes without objection
on 2009.12.05 at 16.30.28 pauliecannoli

Lark – expenditures on campus organizing?
on 2009.12.05 at 16.30.59 pauliecannoli

Points out he is spending large amounts himself.
on 2009.12.05 at 16.33.37 pauliecannoli

Discussion of convention. Lark says Colley “guaranteed” it will not lose money, Colley says he can’t control how many people buy which packages
on 2009.12.05 at 16.34.34 pauliecannoli

Lark says there is 5k for ballot access which he contributed several years ago which he has just not submitted reimbursements.
on 2009.12.05 at 16.35.39 pauliecannoli

Starr – reason for zero line items is to keep them in mind as ideas of what the party will hopefully fund in the future
on 2009.12.05 at 16.36.36 pauliecannoli

Ruwart questioning number projections
on 2009.12.05 at 16.37.56 pauliecannoli

Starr – precedent for better than numbers than we had in 2009, eg 2007, 2008
on 2009.12.05 at 16.38.48 pauliecannoli

Starr – most cost effective method of fundraising is in person – holds down costs as opposed to other methods (direct mail, phone, etc)
on 2009.12.05 at 16.40.23 Stewart Flood

The reference to violating local anti-bad-singing ordinances came from another board member.

My father always sang happy birthday to me, up to and including my 38th birthday when he called me as usual to sing. He passed away unexpectedly three weeks later on the day after Christmas in 1995 at the age of 83. I have elected since then to request that happy birthday not be sung to me. I am quite confident that the LNC chorus would have been able to sing happy birthday in a manner that would comply with local laws.

Aside from Mark Hinkle throwing a spit ball past me this morning that was clearly aimed at the Treasurer, we are having a very productive and cooperative meeting which has been a very good birthday present.
on 2009.12.05 at 16.40.37 pauliecannoli

Ruwart – based on 4 year cycle 2010 will not be as good as 2007, 8. Has optimism in process as explained in ED report by Wes and in Wes personally, but still cautious as to the projections.
on 2009.12.05 at 16.42.49 pauliecannoli

Stewart – yes, this does seem more friendly than last couple I was at. And happy birthday.
on 2009.12.05 at 16.44.19 pauliecannoli

Ruwart, Lark motion – raising fundraising cost projection by 20k at cost to bottom line. This was suggested by Starr in discussion leading to motion based on objections/questions raised by Ruwart.
on 2009.12.05 at 16.44.45 pauliecannoli

Dixon in opposition
on 2009.12.05 at 16.45.48 pauliecannoli

Dixon – “we don’t have to allocate everything we can anticipate” – numbers can be adjusted in a few months if we are doing well.
on 2009.12.05 at 16.47.24 pauliecannoli

Just remembered before break, motion to iextend time to discuss ballot access did not get 2/3…Porter, Sullentrup, Dixon were against extending time.
on 2009.12.05 at 16.48.10 pauliecannoli

Hinkle, Starr speaking in favor of Ruwart motion
on 2009.12.05 at 16.48.56 pauliecannoli

Jingozian in favor
on 2009.12.05 at 16.50.09 pauliecannoli

Flood – appears to be making points both for and against – I missed conclusion
on 2009.12.05 at 16.50.44 pauliecannoli

Moved to a vote – majority vote

Passes with I think 2 nays
on 2009.12.05 at 16.51.25 pauliecannoli

Colley – what happened to reserve

Starr – now called surplus
on 2009.12.05 at 16.54.32 pauliecannoli

Question (Karlan?) as to whether Lark spending is in-kind contribution. Lark says no. Starr says questions like this should be in executive session.
on 2009.12.05 at 16.57.17 pauliecannoli

Dixon wants more spending to be flexible rather than specifically allocated
on 2009.12.05 at 16.58.17 pauliecannoli

Starr says that if we go to 6 issues LP News there should be more budgeted for it.

Hinkle wants to allocate 5k more to litigation.
on 2009.12.05 at 17.02.15 pauliecannoli

Dixon – we can’t allocate money we don’t have yet – that revenue is just projected, not actual
on 2009.12.05 at 17.05.20 pauliecannoli

Ruwart – doing things like ballot access and litigation help raise money because they give donors projects they want to fund
on 2009.12.05 at 17.06.22 pauliecannoli

Starr – allow for specific authorizations as year progresses, or base on revenues raised by personal solicitation
on 2009.12.05 at 17.07.04 pauliecannoli

15k was authorized for ballot access, not authorized to NM
on 2009.12.05 at 17.07.42 pauliecannoli

Lark – call all pending questions

Dixon – objection
on 2009.12.05 at 17.08.13 Stewart Flood

My conclusion was that I supported Dr. Ruwart’s motion (which I’ve already voted for at time of this posting) but that I agreed with Mr Dixon that we can very easily modify the budget later if things change.

This is just a budget. Ink on paper. We haven’t raised one single dime for 2010 (other than the estate disbursement) so we have no idea how things will turn out.
on 2009.12.05 at 17.09.41 pauliecannoli

Lark – special point of privelege – why oppose

Dixon – wants to address question on budget after amendment addressed

Lark – withdraws motion

Sullentrup (?) – objects to withdrawal
on 2009.12.05 at 17.12.29 pauliecannoli

Motion to call all pending questions

nays hawkridge, porter, hinkle, ruwart, one more I missed – Wrights?

fails 2/3

Proceed to Hinkle motion

passes on voice majority vote
on 2009.12.05 at 17.13.00 pauliecannoli

Proceeding to vote on budget as amended
on 2009.12.05 at 17.14.48 pauliecannoli

Nays – Porter
Wrights
Hawkridge

Redpath abstains
on 2009.12.05 at 17.15.46 Stewart Flood

And the budget passes 13-3.

There is $15K for ballot access. That does not mean we won’t end up spending more than that in 2010. The budget may change later in the year.
on 2009.12.05 at 17.16.13 pauliecannoli

Stewart – thanks for clarification – hard to follow what ppl are saying sometimes esp, when I am liveblogging @ same time
on 2009.12.05 at 17.21.23 pauliecannoli

Wrights, (Ruwart?)

Motion for EC encumbrance for ballot access

5 policy (manual?) changes that are separate agenda items
on 2009.12.05 at 17.24.07 pauliecannoli

1st one – issue regarding compensation
on 2009.12.05 at 17.26.25 pauliecannoli

Starr points out that Colley is already doing what is being proposed here.
on 2009.12.05 at 17.32.02 pauliecannoli

Dixon – ED should not be micromanaged by LNC
on 2009.12.05 at 17.34.57 pauliecannoli

Wes is asked if he is for it

Says no but it will not be a disaster if it passes

Points out that the hiring/firing he has done has been with Redpath’s approval as stated in policy manual and that it is possible that the same changes would have taken place had the proposed changes been in place

Points out that employment manual has been worked on for years, still not ready
on 2009.12.05 at 17.36.16 pauliecannoli

Ruwart – difficult to fire people under this system and it wastes time – if the system we have is not broke don’t fix it
on 2009.12.05 at 17.37.16 pauliecannoli

Colley – “I’ve never told the ED to do anything”
on 2009.12.05 at 17.39.36 pauliecannoli

Colley – this is to help, not to micromanage

Sink-Burris – comments in favor
on 2009.12.05 at 17.40.16 pauliecannoli

Alabama 26 FL 13. Starr asked this be included.
on 2009.12.05 at 17.41.06 pauliecannoli

Time extension voted down. Passes with two abstentions on close vote.
on 2009.12.05 at 17.42.01 pauliecannoli

Apparently there was one other no on budget, not sure I got who it was – Ruwart?
on 2009.12.05 at 17.42.38 pauliecannoli

Next agenda item, policy on merit based relationships
on 2009.12.05 at 17.46.16 pauliecannoli

Redpath point of info – why? Specific incident spurring this?

Karlan – dunno

Starr (coauthor) – No. This is standard procedure in corporate world. Why is this controversial?
on 2009.12.05 at 17.46.35 pauliecannoli

Wrights motion to divide question
on 2009.12.05 at 17.46.59 pauliecannoli

Hawkridge 2nd
on 2009.12.05 at 17.47.59 pauliecannoli

Lark — point of clarification/personal privilege – what does this mean?

Starr explained but I missed it
on 2009.12.05 at 17.48.30 pauliecannoli

Question is divided. I think unanimously. I don’t have it in front of me so I’m fairly lost.
on 2009.12.05 at 17.50.03 pauliecannoli

Something else happened while Andy was texting me to make sure I am not a total moron.
on 2009.12.05 at 17.51.55 pauliecannoli

Lark – something like this should pass but current language is too restrictive – inclined to vote no as written
on 2009.12.05 at 17.54.26 pauliecannoli

Wrights – far too restrictive – too many people are friends, associates, etc of each other

Jingozian – question about contracting with companies owned, co-owned etc by LNC members

Starr – it would have to be cleared by EPCC, not just ED
on 2009.12.05 at 17.56.14 pauliecannoli

Wes – if this passes it should also apply to LNC members engaged in selecting contractors; Starr – Wes and Redpath are the only ones who can ink deals
on 2009.12.05 at 17.57.06 pauliecannoli

More argument I missed

Time extension voted down
on 2009.12.05 at 17.59.02 pauliecannoli

Can’t keep up but looks like it will be voted down
on 2009.12.05 at 17.59.39 pauliecannoli

Correction 9 no

Question of how much more to do today

Redpath: To hear from Sinawski on new info on RNC lawsuit against BCRA

Would like to end for day other than that but it is up to the board.

7 pm reservation
on 2009.12.05 at 18.03.01 pauliecannoli

Lark – one other item

Starr? – 6:30

Sullentrup, – tired, had heart attack a month ago

Redpath – OK, Sinawski (counsel) only

Is there some reason why IPR is down so frequently?
on 2009.12.06 at 07.56.54 Kimberly Wilder

I hope all you Libertarian folks are having fun. Because, I think you are draining all the energy out of the political universe…

I think that when a national, party convention goes on, there is so much energy needed and attention given, I swear the rest of the political world takes a breather.

For whatever reason, seems to me like all the regular political blogs, and even our local political news, has been excessively quiet for over 24 hours.

(Really, have fun. Get stuff done. Nice that someone is hard at work.)

Peace,
Kimberly Wilder
Long Island, NY

P.S. Looking forward to more reports

P.S.S. Hi, Paulie!
on 2009.12.06 at 08.00.23 pauliecannoli

I’m sure there is, but I don’t know what it is, nor any server access.
on 2009.12.06 at 08.12.56 pauliecannoli

Hi Kimberly.

We are back on.

Affiliated services committee passed without objection.

Now on to Karlan, policy on hiring and termination.
on 2009.12.06 at 08.15.11 pauliecannoli

Hawkridge in opposition – violation of contract?

Starr responds – this does not change existing contract, just sets policies for future contracts.
on 2009.12.06 at 08.17.42 pauliecannoli

Wes – what if someone worked for companies that went out of business?

Lark — various points of clarification
on 2009.12.06 at 08.19.57 pauliecannoli

Dixon – Does not say we can’t hire someone with [?problem] gives Kubby and Paul Jacob as exampes, just give notice

Sinawski – it just says employees have to notify EPCC (on?) not chair, ED etc
on 2009.12.06 at 08.23.19 pauliecannoli

Var. amendments to include chair and ED

Starr – Wes would be required to inform anyone he hires. Could hire someone who has whatever
on 2009.12.06 at 08.23.57 pauliecannoli

problem it is
on 2009.12.06 at 08.26.19 pauliecannoli

Wes points out that it will cause job candidates to go elsewhere.

Amendment passes w/o objection.

Main motion debated now.

Mattson — crimes against property or person — I thought this was what was removed from agenda? I guess not.

Colley – possible problem with confidentiality. EPCC is just acting as a consulting service here.
on 2009.12.06 at 08.28.10 pauliecannoli

Motion to divide
on 2009.12.06 at 08.30.18 pauliecannoli

Passes with little objection – Sullentrup was only one I heard object, maybe one other.

Part passed w/o objection.

Main part – nays Wrights, Hawkridge, Ryan, Ruwart, Hinkle, Dixon, Redpath abstains
on 2009.12.06 at 08.35.41 pauliecannoli

[missed some...something about a survey]

Policy on convention speakers – Karlan
on 2009.12.06 at 08.39.14 pauliecannoli

No speaker will speak unless they sign that they will not run for an office being contested giving them unfair advantage in race or appearance thereof.

Colley question – Sullentrup giving welcome to St L speech, would this preclude him speaking if he runs in contested race

Answer (who?) – no, he is speaking in his official capacity

Lark – good idea in general but sounds like it goes too far
on 2009.12.06 at 08.43.35 pauliecannoli

Ruwart – unintended consequence – what about people who don’t know if they will run – some people may want to run for LNC after giving a speech

Karlan – it is not a prohibition, only a peice of evidence that delegates can use or choose to ignore.
on 2009.12.06 at 08.45.15 pauliecannoli

Nays – Sullentrup, Lark, Ryan, Ruwart, Hinkle, Hawkridge, Dixon

Wrights absent

Sink-Burris abstain

Redpath abstains

failed 7-7
on 2009.12.06 at 08.46.22 pauliecannoli

LNC budget review strategy – Mary Ruwart presentation – budget as strategy – looking for advice on possible future proposal
on 2009.12.06 at 08.50.56 pauliecannoli

Need for budget analysis that tells us where to put more in future years e.g. how to increase warm prospects
on 2009.12.06 at 08.54.12 pauliecannoli

Strategy in last budget was direct mail of cold prospects which was not successful, no strategy beyond directing ED to figure out something

Need to figure out strategy for growth – - have budget out a month early

Dixon – budget is just broad spending categories – more granularity not needed, ED should be free to make decisions
on 2009.12.06 at 08.57.02 pauliecannoli

Starr – budget is just a model and can be wrong

It’s a battle plan and has to be adjusted as the situation on the ground is faced
on 2009.12.06 at 08.58.21 pauliecannoli

Starr – our drop in revenues is not near as bad as many other companies, organizations right now
on 2009.12.06 at 08.59.36 pauliecannoli

Lark – goal/strategic planning discussion is being ignored
on 2009.12.06 at 09.01.55 pauliecannoli

Hawkridge – failure to capitalize on Campaign for Liberty, 9/12, 10th amendment project etc. Budget review could have caused us to capitalize better
on 2009.12.06 at 09.05.14 pauliecannoli

Wes – Ruwart’s data helpful in helping him focus on renewals rather than cold prospecting

Karlan – presenting too much data to committee will cause endless deliberation, better to present it to ED

Sullentrup – would it be too hard to have rolling 12-month forecast quarterly

Starr – will need to consider this – would need to work closer with ED
on 2009.12.06 at 09.06.10 pauliecannoli

objection to extend time
extend time fails
on 2009.12.06 at 09.06.57 pauliecannoli

Porter – brochures have not been updated in years
on 2009.12.06 at 09.09.45 pauliecannoli

Discussion of whether LPstuff brochures are print qulity

Kraus – No, it would cost more in ink than to order

Flood – this is being worked on

Lark – need for new literature
on 2009.12.06 at 09.11.58 pauliecannoli

Wes – we can create new materials and encouraging people all over the country to help with writing and design
on 2009.12.06 at 09.13.15 pauliecannoli

Karlan – no new materials since Bill Winter left

Winter is still available and had help with Cato Institute people who are still around
on 2009.12.06 at 09.15.04 pauliecannoli

Comment from me: Wes, you should put out a call for materials to be sent to you on the website blog and email blast – if you don’t have time to do it, waiting for people to come to you will not yield much. We may have people who can and would help IF ASKED.
on 2009.12.06 at 09.15.48 pauliecannoli

Lark – LNC needs to consider what issues we need to address that are upcoming
on 2009.12.06 at 09.16.22 pauliecannoli

Next item – policy update on APRC
on 2009.12.06 at 09.19.53 pauliecannoli

Dixon – proposal too on the fly

Karlan – motion to divide
on 2009.12.06 at 09.20.58 pauliecannoli

Motion to divide passes
on 2009.12.06 at 09.22.51 pauliecannoli

Starr – call question to divide

Hawkridge – objection

Passes 2/3

Part 1 – Hawkridge nay, Dixon nay, Redpath abstains – all others yes
on 2009.12.06 at 09.25.40 pauliecannoli

Part 2

Dixon – this introduces changes we do not have time to consider right now
on 2009.12.06 at 09.30.06 pauliecannoli

Hawkridge – how does this impact things that are time sensitive and have already gone out

Flood – if it’s out, it’s out; review on non-time sensitive stuff, all that changes is chair would be required to notify if ignoring the recommendation of APRC

Karlan – too many changes to consider right now

Starr – would it be in order to defer to mail order

A: It could be voted down then introduced as mail order, withdrawn and introduced as mail order

Flood withdraws motion with that
on 2009.12.06 at 09.32.01 pauliecannoli

…understanding

[Missed point of clarification from Wrights]

Break time 13 min
on 2009.12.06 at 09.47.28 pauliecannoli

Steve Gordon and Shana Kluck – mobile texting platform presentation
on 2009.12.06 at 09.50.04 pauliecannoli

Text messaging is becoming much more popular and esp. in younger demographics and time for LP to catch up
on 2009.12.06 at 09.54.30 pauliecannoli

Obama, Republicans both using it successfully

Much higher open rate than email – also read more timely
on 2009.12.06 at 10.01.43 pauliecannoli

Advantage over twitter is that most people do not read all the twits that come to them – this comes to the phone and most people read it
on 2009.12.06 at 10.04.55 pauliecannoli

Dixon – Benedict is the one who needs to be sold on this rather than LNC

Next item

Hinkle – Process for informing donors of progress? I think
on 2009.12.06 at 10.10.30 pauliecannoli

Database? Stakeholders access to data? Sorry, not enough caffeine to follow. Sullentrup playing cards on laptop from time to time….
on 2009.12.06 at 10.12.30 pauliecannoli

Ruwart objects that this table does not address concerns that this committee was formed to address which was confidential info leaking out, but instead expands access to data
on 2009.12.06 at 10.13.54 pauliecannoli

Lark – questions on legal matters
on 2009.12.06 at 10.17.54 pauliecannoli

Starr – LNCC has data sharing requirements with LNC under FEC laws

Dixon – asks Wes if he was consulted

Wes – no

Sullentrup – this board has become policy manual crazy. It is too complicated…next EC will have to figure this out. We need to do something useful to move the country to liberty and we are not doing anything useful here. Enough is enough, voting no.

Starr – we are jut the messengers – we were asked to have this report for this meeting

Hawkridge – privacy concerns
on 2009.12.06 at 10.20.25 pauliecannoli

Ryan suggests division

Redpath: already separated

Mattson: we already share this data, the original motion would create a lot of problems. Moves to amend to allow state affiliates to also have access to data.

Donation history etc

2nded….Flood?
on 2009.12.06 at 10.22.47 pauliecannoli

Lark: concerns with national vs. state issues,

Hinkle: Rachel’s criticism is of the current situaton not of the change

Hawkridge: Does LNCC have access currently

Answer: yes
on 2009.12.06 at 10.25.04 pauliecannoli

Flood: massive impact on staff to share info w/ states

Karlan: eyes glazed over, was unable to digest – move to postpone chart to next meeting

Passes without objection
on 2009.12.06 at 10.26.51 pauliecannoli

Next issue, Flood – non disclosure is not mandatory but if they do sign we use a standardized form. Sullentrup is back to cards.
on 2009.12.06 at 10.30.08 pauliecannoli

Ruwart – reservation that this is for outside vendors, but supports if it is voluntary for LNC as Flood said.

Out of time, proceed to vote

Hawkridge – objection

Nays Wrights, Hawkridge,

Abstain – Redpath

Ryan – No or obstain?

Passes
on 2009.12.06 at 10.32.22 pauliecannoli

Next item, Karlan on policy for publicizing libertarians in the media
on 2009.12.06 at 10.37.06 pauliecannoli

Starr – get info on what we are doing to get media

Disclaimer that ppl are not necessarily speaking for the party
Chair can remove items but must inform LNC if doing so

Wrights – speaking against
The disclaimer makes it look like we are not backing our candidates

Dixon – shares Sullentrup’s earlier concerns over putting too much in policy manual….Policy manual should be concise, unnecessary micromanagement, not enforceable, let Wes do his job
on 2009.12.06 at 10.41.20 pauliecannoli

Lark – some objection I think, missed it

Ruwart – this makes our nomination for sale, candidates just need to hire a publicist…discriminates against those who are mostly on net, don’t have money, etc

Colley – ED is the right guy to make these judgment calls
on 2009.12.06 at 10.43.54 pauliecannoli

Hinkle – body needs to take a position because it gives equal treatment for candidates and takes decision onus off ED

Mattson – agrees with Hinkle and does not believe blogs should be counted as being the same as mass media

Ryan – agrees with Dixon, Colley et al
on 2009.12.06 at 10.47.22 pauliecannoli

Jingozian – unintended consequences – non-libertarians may run just to get extra publicity

Hawkridge – I believe concurred

Wrights – blogs are putting newspapers out of business and calls question

Nos: Jingo, Dixon, Ruwart, Lark, Ryan, Hawkridge, Wrights, Porter, Colley,

Abstain: Karlan, Flood, Sink-Burris

Fails
on 2009.12.06 at 10.49.02 pauliecannoli

Starr and Karlan

how to give notice – for agenda items?
on 2009.12.06 at 10.53.54 pauliecannoli

Lark, clarifications…

14 days more reasonable than 21

There may be situations where things need to be snail mailed

This may be on timing of meetings, Starr is talking about timing of travel plans?
on 2009.12.06 at 10.58.26 pauliecannoli

People are confused including Redpath. Mattson is asked to comment as a professional parliamentarian.

Defer to tape – hope it uploads – I do not want to follow this discussion right now
on 2009.12.06 at 10.59.47 pauliecannoli

Sullentrup is back on cards. I don’t think it would be physically possible for me to drink enough espresso to follow this.
on 2009.12.06 at 11.01.07 pauliecannoli

Passes without objection. After the fact Wrights says he did not realize that had been asked. Moving on….
on 2009.12.06 at 11.04.17 pauliecannoli

Something else that sounds related. I need drugs. Someone poke me in the ribs if I begin snoring….
on 2009.12.06 at 11.06.06 pauliecannoli

Most of the gallery and some of the committee is out in the shall

Jingo: Is this really the business of the committee

Starr: yes
on 2009.12.06 at 11.11.10 pauliecannoli

Passed without objection I think. Mind drifting.

Now on to discussing some type of performance metrics.
on 2009.12.06 at 11.16.53 pauliecannoli

Wes was apparently not consulted

Lark – not enough time to consider this

Wrights – gives too many extra responsibilities to staff they do not have time for

Dixon – opposition, let Wes do his job, stop micromanaging
on 2009.12.06 at 11.19.05 pauliecannoli

Jingo – also against it for these reasons, but would like some simpler metrics (in a future proposal?)

Hawkridge – good intent but many items too difficult to track because state and county chairs will not report and inpossible to know without them
on 2009.12.06 at 11.21.35 pauliecannoli

Hinkle – if we don’t things how do we know what succeeds, what fails
on 2009.12.06 at 11.22.39 pauliecannoli

Ryan – we should postpone this, ED does not have staff or tools for it tho it is a good idea in general
on 2009.12.06 at 11.23.15 pauliecannoli

Call question – unanimous
on 2009.12.06 at 11.25.01 pauliecannoli

Yes – Flood, Hinkle, Starr

Sinks-Burris, Matson – abstain

fails 10-3 ….other abstentions I missed
on 2009.12.06 at 11.26.44 pauliecannoli

9 min recess
on 2009.12.06 at 11.38.17 pauliecannoli

back on

Issue of membership drift from people renewing early and having their expiration date pushed earlier due to language of bylaws
on 2009.12.06 at 11.40.12 pauliecannoli

NOTE: I am not able to follow many of the things going on, and there will be other people’s impressions and corrections once they have time to comment …. Also, hopefully, we will be able to upload the tape.
on 2009.12.06 at 11.52.40 pauliecannoli

Missed most of discussion

Nays – Hawkridge; Ryan?
on 2009.12.06 at 11.54.55 pauliecannoli

Comments – Gordon

Flood

Lark …thanks to var. ppl including me

Dimmit – asks ppl to be added to credential committee
on 2009.12.06 at 11.56.51 pauliecannoli

Motion?

I am confused, how are we having a motion during public comments?

Is there agenda item after public comments? I did not hear them close or ask if anyone else had comments?
on 2009.12.06 at 11.58.41 pauliecannoli

Sullentrup taking off, Carling will now take minutes

I’m currently on my 9th cup of tea this morning. Starting to feel like Frye in that Futurama episode where he drank 100 cups of coffee. Everything is slowing down…
on 2009.12.06 at 12.09.44 pauliecannoli

Missed something. I think agenda for Austin (next meeting).
on 2009.12.06 at 12.11.03 pauliecannoli

They are trying to sort schedule so that LNC members may be able to attend some LSLA events
on 2009.12.06 at 12.12.11 Stewart Flood

We moved to suspend the rules to consider appointing alternates to the Credentials Committee.

The motion was withdrawn after discussion and deferred to a mail ballot.
on 2009.12.06 at 12.12.37 pauliecannoli

Dixon….staff may be needed for some of both

Redpath….allow Sat. AM for LSLA

Sounds like it was agreed to
on 2009.12.06 at 12.14.21 Stewart Flood

LSLA is the weekend of Friday 2/26 to Sunday 2/28. LNC will meet the afternoon of Saturday 2/27 and the morning of Sunday 2/28.
on 2009.12.06 at 12.14.57 pauliecannoli

Redpath announces he will not seek reelection as chair although he may seek reelection to committee.

Sounded like Colley said he is not running for At Large although I think he was joking.
on 2009.12.06 at 12.16.52 pauliecannoli

Andy tries to bring up Kohlhaas, Haugh, ruled out of order, meeting adjourned.
on 2010.02.14 at 08.32.08 John Windsor III

I really have no comment for your article. Although, I do want to say that my internet research today, of how I experience daily life in, Morgantown, WV after leaving my home town of, Fairmont, WV in July 1994 is what lead me to your page. And, before I came to your page I got to another page concerning, Fairmont, Clarksburg, & Morgantown, WV, as I’ve lived in these three places, and also Marlinton, WV 24934. In the summer of 1988, a year after broadcasting school at, Columbia School of Broadcasting, I volunteered at WVMR, Frost, WV in Pocahontas County, WV. And later after 1994, beginning in 1998, life got very strange living day to day in Morgantown, WV. The first phrase of words I looked up were about needing love in a different way than Christian people view this concept. I’d rather date & have a women love me from a Pagan/Witch perspective, as I’m a member of, LunaRising Coven, Pittsburgh, PA.

John Windsor III
blessed be
