Which vote?
I did think I heard one LNC member vote no in a low voice but it was recorded as “yes”. If my ears were correct (and I don’t feel like searching through to find it on youtube), it would have been the only no vote, which may be why she decided not to contest it. Just a little thing of not much import.
Additions, corrections, discussion?

Included second sitting, continuing conversation and events in between, and leadup to this e-meeting.
CAH confirmed this is the correct lineup via FB. She said it’s in one note as well, I did not find it there this morning but may not have been searching correctly.
Reached the end of CAH live notes. Link is above. Still double checking APRC winners. I had it in zoom chat and it was turned off right at the moment I was trying to copy it to paste here.
Continued from CAH notes
Longstreth moved to reconstitute Youth Process and Convention Voting Process.
Moellman extend for five minutes.
Luchini moved to divide.
Smith moved to reconstitute blockchain. 7 members.
Moellman extend for 10 minutes. 10-5
You forgot the fun part where we discussed if members of certain ethnicities/religions (which often have members with darker but not obviously African skin) could be considered white or non-white. (You specifically asked about Jews.) It’s definitely true there are gray areas.
The relevant issue being my snotty comment about Why is LP national FB posting its own “we must be actively anti-racist” meme when LNC and staff are mostly white. So when is LNC going to be “actively anti-racist”.
Now that’s something I might have brought up in public comments, but only discovered it during meeting and didn’t occur to me. I’ll have to wait til an Am meeting when I’m more caffeinated.
Voluntary affirmative action rocks! Anti-discrimination LAWS suck.

David Pratt Demarest in zoom chat: Keep in mind the importance of opening up, where appropriate, as many committees to LP members who are not currently serving on the LNC.
Mark Tuniewicz in zoom: @DavidPratt super important. We should give full notice to all members, so that they can apply to committees. Why didn’t we publicize the Asst. Treasurer position?

Great assist WB!
Secretary asks for conflicts of interest.
Chair asks everyone for introductions, which is what we are now on.
More from Jill G: 1236 electronic, I have 51 on me, the chair believes we have about 500 that have come in on paper, but he hasn’t actually counted. So 1600 may be conservative. Estimated until tomorrow night. We have paper everywhere.
From Jill Galvan:
I can’t hear him well either but MN has more than 1600 raw. I’ll know more tomorrow night after we count the paper at our excom meeting. We’re turning in what we have this week and it’ll be up to ten days before we know how many were accepted.
Redpath: More people being brought in to PA
Second hand report WA over, AL 4k raw towards 5k valid, VA cut from 5k to 2.5k valid.
Alaska concluded. NH Aug 5, needs help.
Jul 27 soonest deadline. NJ has hired someone.
4k? In Maine – Thrasher there and a petition company. Hard to hear Bill.
PA Aug 3, lost lawsuit, bringing more people in.
Redpath asks to move ballot access to right after adoption of agenda so he can get back out to petition, since he is no longer on LNC.
