ExCom members,
Our party bylaws are unfortunately vague on the subject of communication and Executive Committee voting by email (see relevant Bylaw 12, Section 4 copied below). As currently written, they do not provide adequate guidance to guarantee a transparent process for such voting, nor do they require an ample opportunity for discussion and public input on issues that are brought to our committee via email before they are voted on. A key principle here is that ExCom voting which takes place electronically should be no less open and accountable to party members than votes taken at regular in-person meetings. Therefore I move that the Libertarian Party of California Executive Committee adopt the following as a standing resolution:
Oops! It has been pointed out to me that some text is missing from the copy of the motion I sent out earlier today! My apologies for the error. The motion in its correct form appears below.
Love & Liberty,

As a former At Large member of the LPC ExecComm I support this resolution and would vote for it if I were still on the EC.
Good luck Starchild!
