[LPL Board of Directors] Investigative Committee Result

[Adrien Monteleone]

The Bylaws amendments have to wait for a convention, but we can pass a 
resolution asking the Bylaws committee to be formed down the road prior 
to that convention, to take up such issues.

In the meantime we can pass a resolution expressing the sense of the 
Board that such actionsare inappropriate and potentiallyinjurious to the 
Board and the party Brand.

As for email rules, there are some in place informally already.  The 
problem was I did not get to pass them on to the new folks.

I will be sending them to everyone later tonight.

I think had everyone been more aware of those procedures, we would not 
have seen the discord we saw the last few days.

As well, official rules have to wait for a convention.  They are to be 
handled by the same convention committee.

If we still want to discuss the present set of email procedures, we can 
do so.

-- In Liberty,

Adrien Monteleone - Chairman
Libertarian Party of Louisiana
