Adoption of Agenda

Motion: Ted Brown moved with second to add an agenda item for the Stop the Top Two ballot initiative and the At-Large position to the agenda and that the LNC Report be moved up in the agenda as Jeff Hewitt had to leave at 1:30 with no objection. The Agenda as revised was adopted with no objections. Executive Committee At-Large Position

Ted Brown announced that Susan Marie Weber, At-Large Representative, was unable to attend this meeting. Although she has been active in email voting she hasn’t been able to attend any of the meetings in person this year (5 meetings total) it may be appropriate to move one of Alternate At-Large members into the At-Large position. Motion: It was adopted with no objection to remove Susan Marie Weber from the At-Large Representative position and fill that position with one of the Alternate At-Large Representatives. Motion: Mimi Robson moved with second to appoint Chuck Hamm as At- Large Representative for the remainder of Susan Marie Weber’s term which will terminate at the end of the 2018 Convention. Vote: Motion passed with no objections Nominations for second Alternate At-Large were opened to fill the vacated position. Robert Imhoff nominated with second to appoint Mark Hinkle as the second Alternate At-Large Representative. Mimi Robson nominated with second to appoint Susan Marie Weber as the second Alternate At-Large Representative. Vote: Mark Hinkle 6 votes Susan Marie Weber 5 votes Mark Hinkle was elected Second Alternate At-Large Representative 6-5 LNC Report

Jeff Hewitt, LNC Region 4 Representative, reported that he attended the August LNC meeting held in Kansas City, Missouri. It was a good meeting with several issues discussed.

• The future of the LP was discussed in terms of ways to bring in new members and get people more involved in the party. o Jeff had suggested that rather than hold all meetings in hotels they should possibly plan an outdoor even with live music. 2

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

Unfortunately the Las Vegas shootings happened shortly after the suggestion so the timing was not good. • Ballot access was another topic of discussion. o Currently a lot of money is going toward Ohio although there aren’t a lot of volunteers there to do the ground work. o Tennessee is a state that has come to them asking for help and they have a lot of local support. Going forward it will take 2.5% of the vote total in the last Governor election or about 33,000 validated signatures. • The LNC has formed a Candidate Support Committee. The members of this committee are Larry Sharp, Mark Miller, Caryn Ann Harlos, Sam Goldstein and Jim Turney. Jeff was initially included in the committee but has asked to be removed as he has too many other obligations in terms of his campaign for County Supervisor. • Along with the new Candidate Support committee the LNC has hired two additional staff positions to assist with helping candidates. o Cara Schulz has been hired as a Candidate Recruiting Specialist. o Apollo Pazell, who was one of Gary Johnson’s main campaign consultants and has also won a City Council Position, was also hired as a Candidate Recruiting Specialist. • There were 12 victories nationally in the November election. Most were non-partisan positions however the goal is to just get a ton of Libertarians elected. • Nicholas Sarwark announced his candidacy Mayor of Phoenix. • Both Nicholas Sarwark and Wes Benedict made an appearance on Russian Today, RTTV, and they have spoken about how the US Justice Department wants them to register as foreign agents. • There was a recent Georgia ballot access lawsuit brought by two prospective Congressmen there. • Richard Field is now retired from the Pacific Legal Foundation and will be the new Libertarian Press Secretary • Ron Bishop is running as a write-in candidate for US Senate in Alabama against Roy Moore (Republican) and Doug Jones (Democrat). • The mortgage for the National Headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, is now officially half paid off! • The National Convention will be held from June 30 through July 3, 2018 in New Orleans. The theme will be in honor of Dr. Feldman; I’m that Libertarian . Questions: Robert Imhoff thanked Jeff for voting to limit the use of the LNC brand, although there were only 3 people that voted to do so and the motion failed.

Officer Reports

Chair’s Report:

Ted Brown, Chair, reported the following:

• Candidate Support Mailing o Although the response wasn’t from as many people as we had hoped, the mailing made a large profit.

• He has been working with an activist in Los Angeles County’s Region 61 in the San Fernando Valley, Kevin Shaw, to get them reactivated. Over 300 postcards were sent out for their initial meeting which was held at El Torito in Sherman Oaks on September 28, 2017. 24 people attended the meeting. o The mailing included people that had sent inquiries to the National Party and the many of those people attended the meeting o In addition to the National inquires there were several people from Pierce College at the meeting • Candidate Recruitment o He has been approached by several candidates o We have candidates for several state wide offices including Governor and Lieutenant Governor o Gail Lightfoot has agreed to run for Secretary of State

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

Questions: None Announcement: Ted Brown announced that he will be resigning his position as Chair at the end of the 2018 Convention in April. He had originally decided to run for chair two and a half years ago because he was worried about the direction of the party. He now feels confident that the party is moving in the right direction with many new activists. He has sold his home in Pasadena and will be moving to Austin Texas. Northern Vice-Chair’s Report:

Kenneth Brent Olsen, Northern Vice-Chair, submitted a report in advance (see Appendix A) and presented an oral report and fielded questions at the meeting. Motion: Kenneth Brent Olsen moved, with second, to recognize Fresno, Santa Cruz, and Stanislaus counties as recognized Affiliates in the California Libertarian Party. Vote: Motion passed with no objections Kenneth Brent Olsen amended his report to say that we now have 16 Active Northern Affiliates and 7 Active Non-Affiliated Counties. Questions: Tyler Kuskie commented that he would like to provide a recruitment director training program; either a video or conference. This would be similar to a program he’s already involved in to be able to find the right people. Kenneth Brent Olsen commented that it would be a great idea and they will get together to set something up. Kenneth Brent Olsen also mentioned that we have 4,000 recruitment cards at the Norther California storage facility and these are available for counties throughout the state. Southern Vice-Chair’s Report:

Jonathan Jaech, Southern Vice-Chair, was absent from the meeting with advance notice but provided his Southern Vice-Chair report via email (see Appendix B) which was read by Ted Brown at the meeting. Point of Information: Ted Brown noted that this body can’t do anything about the Judicial Committee opinion; that would have to be done at the Convention by the Delegates. Questions: David Bowers spoke as the Secretary of the Libertarian Party of Los Angeles County (LPLAC) stating that the concerns of certain members of LPLAC were addressed by letting them know that it was the party that was found guilty for allowing members of other counties to vote in the elections at the convention, therefore it was not an action against the individual members. Those members do

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

not believe that and seem to believe that the Bylaw interpretation is incorrect. David further stated that all of the members that were members of other counties were seated once they changed their affiliation to Los Angeles. He agrees that the decorum at the meetings has gotten poor. They have discussed moving their meetings from the restaurant where they are currently held to a private location to avoid people showing up and shouting from within the restaurant. Point of Information: Robert Imhoff questioned if County Affiliates had to follow the rule on Open Meetings in the State’s Operating Procedures Manual which state: All Committees which exist at the pleasure of the Executive Committee, shall establish, maintain, and exercise an open door policy inclusive to members of the Executive Committee of the LPC. Ted Brown noted that Special Rule of Order would only apply to State Committees, but also noted that having a meeting in a private room could still be open to Central Committee Members but could alleviate the issue of people sitting at other tables in the restaurant, not being members of the Committee, from interrupting the meetings proceedings. Secretary’s Report:

Honor “Mimi” Robson, Secretary, submitted a report in advance (see Appendix C) and presented an oral report and fielded questions at the meeting. Motion : Mimi Robson moved with second that the following Standing Rule of Order to be included in the General Provisions of the Operating Procedures Manual: Prior to each Executive Committee Meeting all Committee and Officer’s reports shall be submitted in writing to the Party’s Chair and Secretary a minimum of 1 week before the meeting to: 1. be included in the Agenda 2. be included in the appendices of the Meeting Minutes 3. to be published to the Executive Committee prior to the meeting Prior to the Party’s Annual Convention all Committee and Officer’s report shall be submitted in writing to the Party’s Secretary (unless a Committee meets just prior to the Convention, such as the Platform Committee) a minimum of 2 weeks before the Convention, for publication to the full Executive Committee and the full Central Committee.

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

Vote: Motion passed without objection. Questions: Ted Brown asked if there had been any motions voted by email since our last meeting. Mimi Robson stated the only motion was to approve the minutes of the prior meeting, which was included in the Secretary’s Report. Ted thanked the committee for voting as it had been an issue the previous year that committee members were not voting on email motions Operating Procedure Manual

Honor “Mimi” Robson, Secretary, submitted the updated Operating Procedures Manual in advance (see Appendix D) as well as the 2000 Standing and Advisory Resolutions manual annotated with items that had been revised or removed since the document was created (Appendix E). Per our Operating Procedures Manual (as referenced in Robert’s Rules of Order) Special Rules of Order (formerly referred to as Standing Resolutions) can be amended or rescinded with either a simple majority of the full membership at Convention or a 2/3 vote of the Executive Committee if there has been advance notice of the motion. The following motion to rescind a Special Rule of Order was made with advance notice to the full executive Committee: Motion : Mimi Robson moved with second to rescind the following Special Rule of Order: Conventions Speakers / Conflict This body instructs the Executive Committee to place a constraint on all subsequent convention managers not to schedule speakers, seminar or workshops at times that conflict with State Central Committee business.

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

Motion Passes 11 – 0 – 1 11 votes in favor 1 abstention Questions : Chuck Hamm asked if a situation came up during the Convention to Suspend the Rules, would that be allowed. Mimi Robson answered that a Motion to Suspend the Rules would be allowed so long as it wasn’t a Motion to Suspend the Bylaws or other items listed within the Bylaws that can’t be suspended, per Robert’s Rules of Order 10 th Edition. Motion : Robert Imhoff moved with second to revise the Standing Rule listed under Conventions with the sub-heading State Conventions as follows: State Conventions The following criteria for a convention site must be met when submitting a proposal for a state convention: 1) Accessibility to an airport with scheduled service . ,and an airport shuttle provided by the hotel or convention contractor. 2) A convention hall capable of accommodating at least 200 people in classroom style. 3) At least two committee meeting rooms for the Platform and Bylaws committees, and a room for the Executive Committee meeting following the convention. 4) A registration fee of $99 for all convention attendees. 5) A minimum of 70 rooms per night blocked out for the convention, available up until 30 days before the convention. 6) Three meals per day available as part of some convention packages. 7) Any convention proposal must include the complete final cost to attendees. (08/05/2006) Motion: Mimi Robson moved to amend the motion with second to also strike the portion that states that a minimum of 70 rooms per night be blocked out for the convention and available until 30 days before the convention as that should be an item negotiated with the host hotel. Motion: Mimi Robson moved for a substitute motion with second to strike the entire section under State Conventions. Vote: The substitute motion passed with no objections and now becomes the main motion. Vote: The main motion passed with no objections so the entire section under State Conventions will be removed from the Operating Procedures Manual.

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

Motion: Robert Imhoff moved with second to strike the entire Standing Rule under Membership Database with the Subheading Mailing List Rental. Mailing List Rental: The Renter of the list must agree in writing that the list will only be used for the purpose it was requested, and that any material intended to be sent to the list shall first be submitted to the LPC for review and approval to verify that it is appropriate and limited to that purpose. Prior to use of the list the Renter shall pay to the LPC a total amount for each mailing of $0.10 per name, and that the list shall only be used for the number of mailings contracted for with the LPC. Following receipt of payment the LPC shall deliver the list directly to a professional and reputable mailing house designated by the Renter, and that the list shall be kept confidential and neither the mailing house nor the Renter shall make copies of the list nor extract, retain, or use in any way, any information contained in the mailing list beyond that needed to effectuate the specific mailing(s) contracted for with the LPC, except that information about respondents to a mailing shall belong to the Renter. The Renter must agree in writing to any other restrictions or limitations established by the Executive Committee as a condition of renting the mailing list. The Renter must acknowledge and agree in writing that any violation of the rental contract which would endanger the propriety and confidential nature of the LPC mailing list will cause irreparable harm to the LPC, and that it would entitle the LPC to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as monetary damages including the cost of litigation and reasonable attorney's fees. (11/19/2005) Discussion: Ted Brown mentioned that this was something that was done in the past. For example we would trade our mailing list with Reason magazine for our use in soliciting Reason subscribers to join the LPC and Reason would solicit our members for subscriptions. Robert stated that he felt that for the privacy of our members it would be best not to share the list at all. Vote: Motion passed to remove the Mailing List Rental provisions from the Operating Procedures Manual with no objections. Recessed: 11:30 p.m. for Time Certain to Tour the Hotel and Lunch Reconvened: 1:14 p.m.

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

Treasurer’s Report:

Motion: Robert Imhoff moved with second to turn off the “Live Stream” video during the Treasurer’s Report. Vote: Motion passed with no objections. Steven Haug, Treasurer, submitted a report in advance which included the current Profit and Loss Statement, current Balance Sheet, County Dues Sharing report and Dues Sharing Trust report (see Appendix F). He presented an oral report and fielded questions at the meeting. Question: Robert Imhoff asked if the former Treasurer had been contacted regarding the costs that were incurred due to his negligence and was told that contact had not yet been made. It was agreed that a letter would be drafted by Zachary Moore and signed by the Chair. Tyler Kuskie will hand deliver this letter and discuss the situation with the former Treasurer. Motion: Robert Imhoff moved with second to extend time for the Treasurer’s Report by 5 minutes with no objection. Point of Information: Mimi Robson noted that in the report the treasurer stated that the counties hadn’t been sending dues sharing checks to the state. She explained that due to the previous Treasurer not sending dues sharing payments to the counties, most of the counties stopped sending checks to the state. When she calculated the dues sharing through June 30, 2017 she determined the liabilities for each county based on the liability the state had minus the liability that the county had, therefore all dues sharing is up-to-date through June 30, 2017 going both ways. Going forward, with the new way Steve is keeping track of the dues sharing liability, the counties will be required to send remittance to the state for their portion of the dues sharing however that is a fairly low number as most memberships are renewed through the state. Financial Standards Committee

There was no Financial Standards Committee Report presented or received. Point of Information: Robert Imhoff noted that Terry Floyd was the only member appointed to this committee. Point of Information: Mimi Robson noted that per the requirements of the Bylaws and Operating Procedures Manual the Financial Standards Committee should have started their work directly after the appointment such that a written report is submitted prior to the Convention. Since it seems that none of the deadlines have been met and a committee is still not in place, with the exception of the 10

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

Chair, that we focus on getting members for the committee to be appointed after the next convention. Point of Information: Robert Imhoff noted that the Party’s fiscal year begins on the first of February. Budget

Steven Haug, Treasurer, submitted a proposed Budget Overview for 2018 (see Appendix G) in advance and presented the report and fielded questions at the meeting. Steve presented the budget by line item and noted that he had gotten information from other Executive Committee members to more realistically address what needed to be spent for each category. Point of Information: Robert Imhoff noted that the telephone service, Ring Central is paid annually in February however he added an additional $10 per month for excess outbound calls. If the Candidate Support Committee uses the party’s phone system they will need to reimburse the LPC. Questions: Steve Haug noted that he was still unsure what to use for the Newsletter line item. Ted Brown moved with no objection to change the Newsletter Report to be a subset of the Budget Report. Newsletter Report:

Elizabeth Brierly hasn’t provided a new contract yet, but it was estimated to cost approximately $700 per issue for the newsletter, not including printing and postage for physical mailings. It was discussed that we should consider having a total of six newsletters in 2018; three each of email and physical mailings. It was agreed that 6 newsletters at $700 per issue be added to the budget and then an additional $460 for postage be added three times and an additional $800 for printing be added three times for emailing the newsletter six times and mailing the newsletter three times in 2018. Motion: Robert Imhoff moved with second to adopt the budget as amended. Point of Information: Ted Brown noted that we need 10 votes to pass the budget and one member had left the room. Motion: Mimi Robson moved with second to recess for 5 minutes with no objection. Recessed: 2:20 p.m. Reconvened: 2:25 p.m.

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

Vote: The budget was adopted with no objection (with 10 voting members present for the vote). Committee Reports

Membership Committee Report:

Mark Hinkle, Membership Committee Chair, submitted a report in advance (see Appendix H). He presented an oral report via telephone and fielded questions at the meeting. Questions: None Website Committee Report:

Jason Wu, Website Committee Chair, was not present at the meeting and had not submitted a Committee Report in Advance. Robert Imhoff, Committee Member, submitted a report in advance (see Appendix I). He presented an oral report at that meeting and fielded questions. Questions: Robert asked that the membership of the committee be rearranged to include a Chair that is easily accessible and responsive. Ted Brown appointed Robert Imhoff as Chair, keeping Jason Wu as a member of the committee. In addition he added Zachery Moore as a member of the committee. Database Committee Report:

Robert Imhoff, Database Committee Chair, submitted a report in advance (see Appendix J). He presented an oral report at the meeting and fielded questions. Questions: After Robert Imhoff suggested that the Database Committee had served its purpose and therefore wasn’t necessarily needed any longer, Jennifer Imhoff asked if there could still be a purpose for the committee. Robert answered that although the committee could continue working with the other solutions for other purposes, being that NEON was determined to be the best solution for our membership database there really wasn’t a reason to keep the committee going. Ted Brown, Chair, had commissioned the committee and he tended to agree that the Database Committee be disbanded with our thanks. Hearing no objections the Database Committee was decommissioned as of December 2, 2017.

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

IT Committee Report:

Robert Imhoff, IT Committee Chair, submitted a report in advance (see Appendix K). He presented an oral report at the meeting and fielded questions. Questions: Ted Brown, questioned discontinuing Robly as it has close to 10,000 contacts in it. Robert answered that all contacts in the Robly database would be preserved by exporting them into another service. He further suggested that we could go through that data to delete spam emails and other bad data so it will be a more accurate list of contacts. LPC Store Report:

Robert Imhoff reported that we now have an online store; https://shop.ca.lp.org . Although currently there are only a few items listed, including a “Taxation is Theft” reusable grocery shopping bag (which notes the 10 cent charge for bags required by the state) he hopes to work with the Executive Committee and Central Committee members on new items to add to the site. He asked that anyone that has ideas of new items to sell on the store page they can email him at [email protected] or [email protected] . Questions: Jennifer Imhoff asked if it was okay to put the store on social media and hearing no objections she will do so after this meeting. Steve Haug asked if the party will get a breakout of the cost, sales tax and profit and Robert answered that the Treasurer will be copied on all sales receipts which will include the breakdown he is requesting. Office Reports

Northern Office:

Robert Imhoff stated that all of the supplies for the Northern Office are being stored in his garage and it’s open to anyone in the party to come by and pick up supplies for county events. In addition to rack cards and printed materials they have the audio visual equipment (i.e. speakers, microphones, projectors and screens, etc.) that can be picked up for events. They also have a pop up tent. If counties would like to get any of the printed supplies and can’t make it to the garage just send an email and they will mail them out. Questions: None Sacramento Main Office:

Ted Brown reported that we still have our office/mail forwarding at the Executive Suites in Sacramento and the mail is being forwarded weekly. Starting January the mail will begin to be forwarded to Mimi Robson. 13

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

Questions: Steve Haug asked about the frequency of the mail forwarding as it seemed that a week had been missed. It seemed that this was due to the Thanksgiving holiday but the mail is scheduled to be sent weekly. Southern Office

No one from the Monrovia Office was present to give a report but Ted Brown mentioned that there are several items stored there.

Motion: Mimi Robson moved to endorse Angela McArdle for Congress with second. Vote: Angela McArdle was endorsed with no objection. Kevin Shaw , Libertarian candidate for the 38 th State Assembly District, which includes portions of both Los Angeles and Ventura counties, addressed the committee and fielded questions. Questions: Chuck Hamm asked if he had thought about ways to leverage all of the publicity his court case is receiving in his campaign for Assembly.

In addition the Attorney General’s office has

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

issued two Statements of Interest in his case, He will be using this to get publicity for his campaign Robert Imhoff asked if he was working with groups like Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) and Kevin stated that he had been the Chapter President for YAL on his campus until recently when he stepped down to focus on running his campaign and his local affiliate of the Libertarian Party in the San Fernando Valley Region. Motion: Chuck Hamm moved to endorse Kevin Shaw for State Assembly with second. Vote: Kevin Shaw was endorsed with no objection.

In addition he is very much opposed to our provoking wars with North Korea, Syria and Venezuela. Zachary Moore noted that in generic polls the left is up 10 points and asked how he was going to leverage the energy on the left into his campaign. Brandon stated that he is resonating well with the left in his support of passing DACA through the legislative process. He realizes if someone is entrenched in the Democratic Party he won’t get their vote, but if the district is left leaning he will be able attract them. Robert Imhoff asked what his opinion is of foreign tariffs with other countries. Brando stated that he believes in free trade so he would be in favor of removing all tariffs. Motion: Robert Imhoff moved to endorse Brandon Reiser for Congress with second. Vote: Brandon Reiser was endorsed with no objection. Tim Ferreira , Libertarian candidate for California Lieutenant Governor addressed the committee and fielded questions. Questions: Ted Brown mentioned that the LP Platform calls for the abolition of the office of Lieutenant governor and asked for his position on that issue. Tim stated that his position is that it’s a great position. If elected he would do his best to get rid of the position or at the very least get an understanding on why the position should exist.

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

Tyler Kuskie asked if there was any other Libertarians running for this position and Tim stated that there was not. Robert Imhoff asked what the Lieutenant Governor does. Tim stated that the Lieutenant Governor sits on a number of committees and chairs several. The three main areas the office is involved in are the environment, education and economics; the area he is most interested in is the Committee on Economic Development and being the chair of that committee. Tyler Kuskie asked if his objective in his campaign is to grow the Libertarian Party in California or to actually win. Tim stated that his first objective is education and he would like to educate people on the Libertarian party. However he said that if he wins that would be spectacular and he is running to win. Chuck Hamm asked that since his primary goal is education, what issues he plans to focus on. Tim stated that the main focus of his campaign is the three issues that the Lieutenant Governor has impact on (education, environment and the economy) however he has added a forth issue which is how we run elections here in California. He feels that the way we run elections needs to be reformed. Motion: David Bowers moved to endorse Tim Ferreira for Lieutenant Governor with second. Vote: Tim Ferreira was endorsed with no objection. Robert Imhoff , Libertarian candidate for the 25 th State Assembly District, which is located in Santa Clara County, addressed the committee and fielded questions. Questions: José Castañeda, guest, mentioned several companies that had manufactured their products in California and have since left the state and asked how Robert would bring back manufacturing to the state. Robert answered that in his district there was the NUMMI plant, which was a joint venture between General Motors and Toyota that closed down quickly during the economic downturn in 2009; it went from 10,000 employees to zero. What he’s seen is that the state and local municipalities give tax breaks to certain manufacturing companies, which just shows how many taxes there are. We need to give these breaks to all companies that want to do business in California. Motion: Mimi Robson moved to endorse Robert Imhoff for State Assembly with second. Vote: Robert Imhoff was endorsed with no objection.

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

Question: Tyler Kuskie asked three questions to each of the candidates: 1) What are your plans for getting publicity, 2) Who is staffing your campaign and 3) How are you fundraising? Zoltan Istvan answered that he received a lot of publicity for being a world leader in transhumanism and he ties his libertarianism into that. He currently has no staff and is self-funding his campaign so he is not doing any fundraising. Nickolas Wildstar answered that he is doing all he can for both publicity and funding. He currently is raising money on Crowdpac and GoFundMe as well as his website and his campaign is being run on a grass-roots level. He has received publicity primarily through his YouTube channel where a recent video currently has almost 2,000,000 views. He is a musician and is using that as a way for publicity as well. Question: Robert Imhoff asked three questions to each of the candidates: 1) What is your current voter registration with the Secretary of State in California, 2) You both have talked about lower taxes but do you believe at your core that taxation is theft and 3) What has been your involvement with the Libertarian Party of California? Nickolas Wildstar answered that he has been a registered Libertarian since 2012. He fundamentally believes that taxation is theft and is proposing in his campaign that initially he would support no new taxes and he is fully invested in the Libertarian movement and feels that everyone is a libertarian at their core. Zoltan Istvan answered that he has been a registered Libertarian since 2016. As far as Taxation is Theft although he has said that in the past he fundamentally believes there needs to be some taxation 17

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

to pay for the military, police and fire, especially here in California with the wildfires. He hopes in the future we can eliminate taxes but he is running on a platform of lowering taxes. As far as time he has invested into the Libertarian movement, he spent four years writing the Transhumanist Wager which he believes is a futuristic Libertarian manifesto. Motion: Robert Imhoff moved with second to extend time by 5 minutes for Candidate Endorsements with no objections. Question: Zachary Moore stated that the US Supreme Court ruled that California prisons are so full that it is considered cruel and unusual punishment; it’s an expensive thing and a disgrace that deprives our liberties. He asked Zoltan Istvan what his ideas were in reforming the state’s criminal justice system. Zoltan answered that first he believes that all drugs should be legal and that would alleviate part of the problem because a lot of people are in prison for non-violent offences. He’s also spoken about tracking devises which would allow inmates to get out of prison and allow them to work. However he is not in favor of privatizing prisons because he feels that it’s one of the most inhuman things that has happened in the last several years. Zachary Moore stated that the rents are out of control in the state and that is causing the homelessness issues and he believes that government is to blame. He asked Nickolas Wildstar what he would do to deal with this issue. Nickolas answered that he believes that the property taxes are too high in the state and also the problems with foreclosures add to the problem which he feels is in part due to government bureaucracy. As to the homelessness problems, we are currently paying several taxes to address the issue but the money is being squandered. Motion: Robert Imhoff moved with second to have the delegates at the state convention endorse or not endorse the candidate for Governor. Motion: Mimi Robson moved with second to amend the motion to include that both candidates would appear on the state’s website on the Candidates Page; not as endorsed candidates but as Libertarian Candidates for Governor. Vote: The amendment passed with no objection and was added to the main motion. Vote: The main motion passed without objection therefore the endorsement will be done at the convention and both candidates will be added to the state’s website.

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

Motion: Robert Imhoff moved with second to extend time by 5 minutes for Candidate Endorsements with no objections. Thomas Kraus, candidate for the 76 th State Assembly District, which is located in San Diego County, addressed the committee and fielded questions. Questions: Ted Brown asked what his views were on the war on drugs. He stated that he was a member of the Government Affairs Committee, San Diego Chapter of Americans for Safe Access, which advocates for safe access to medical marijuana and he is inclined to agree that all drugs should be legalized or deregulated. Robert Imhoff asked how long Thomas has been a registered Libertarian and he stated that he has not changed his registration to the Libertarian party and doesn’t intend to as his opponent will then get the endorsement of the Republican Party. Point of Information: Robert Imhoff noted that per our Bylaws we can’t endorse anyone that is not registered as a Libertarian. Bylaw 5: Membership Section 3 All Party candidates for public office, Executive Committee members, county Party office holders, Libertarian National Committee representatives, and Judicial Committee members shall be registered in the Libertarian Party in California if eligible. Michael Lewis, Libertarian candidate for the 53 rd State Assembly District, which is located in Downtown Los Angeles and surrounding neighborhoods, addressed the committee and fielded questions. Questions: Ted Brown asked if Michael is a registered Libertarian and he stated he was both a registered Libertarian and a member of the Libertarian Party of California. Robert Imhoff asked Michael what his views were on controlled substances. He answered that he doesn’t believe there should be any government regulations on any currently controlled substances. Motion: Robert Imhoff moved to endorse Michael Lewis for State Assembly with second. Vote: Michael Lewis was endorsed with no objection. Endorsement of Initiatives

Repeal the Top-Two

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

Ted Brown stated that Tom Palzer’s initiative, Repeal the Top-Two, has been approved for circulation by the California Attorney General. If 585,407 validated signatures are submitted by 4/23/18 the ballot initiative will appear on the November 2018 ballot. The following approved initiative wording is as follows: 1816. (17-0020) Repeals Current Primary Election System in State and Congressional Elections. Initiative Constitutional Amendment. Summary Date: 10/25/17 | Circulation Deadline: 04/23/18 | Signatures Required: 585,407 Proponents: Thomas E. Palzer Repeals the current primary elections system which provides for all candidates for an office to appear on a single primary ballot and for the two candidates with the most votes in the primary to advance to the general election, irrespective of party. Creates a primary election system based on political party for congressional, state legislative, and most statewide offices. Gives political parties that participate in the primary election for a partisan office the right to participate in the general election for that office. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: No significant net change in state and local government costs to administer elections. (17-0020.) We previously endorsed this measure and Ted encourages all county officers to contact the county coordinators for the ballot measure to help in the circulation of the petitions. Endorsement of AB1578 Ted Brown stated we’ve been asked to endorse AB1578 which reads as follows:

AB 1578, as amended, Jones-Sawyer. Cannabis programs: cooperation with federal authorities. Existing law, the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of commercial cannabis activity, which responsibility is generally divided between the Bureau of Cannabis Control within the Department of Consumer Affairs, the Department of Food and Agriculture, and the State Department of Public Health. Existing law requires the State Department of Public Health to establish and maintain a voluntary program for the issuance of identification cards to qualified patients who have a physician’s recommendation for medical cannabis. Existing law requires the counties to process applications and maintain records for the identification card program. This bill would prohibit a state or local agency, as defined, from taking certain actions without a federal agent obtaining a court order signed by a judge and presenting that order to the state or local agency, including using agency money, facilities, property, equipment, or personnel to assist a federal agency to investigate, detain, detect, report, obtain information, or arrest a person for commercial or noncommercial cannabis activity that is authorized or allowed under state and local law in the State of California and from transferring an individual to federal law enforcement or detaining an individual

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting at the request of federal law enforcement or federal authorities for cannabis-related activity that is legal under state and applicable local law. Motion: Zachary Moore moved with second to endorse AB 1578. Discussion: Zachary Moore spoke in favor of the motion stating it was a small but good step in keeping the state government from colluding with the federal government as there is a lot of that especially in regards to asset forfeiture. Motion: Robert Imhoff moved with second to amend the motion to include the caveat: The Libertarian Party of California does not support any rules or regulations applied to the cultivation or sale of marijuana. Vote: The motion to amend the main motion passed with no objection. Vote: The main motion as amended passed with the passed with no objection. Proposition 13 Initiatives Ted Brown stated we’ve been asked to endorse three separate ballot initiatives to change requirements of certain property owners to transfer their property tax base to replacement property. The initiatives are as follows: 1807. (17-0011A1) Changes Requirements for Certain Property Owners to Transfer Their Property Tax Base to Replacement Property. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute. Summary Date: 09/25/17 | Circulation Deadline: 03/26/18 | Signatures Required: 585,407 Proponents: Alexander E. Creel c/o Christopher C. Carlisle (916) 492-5200 Removes the following current requirements for homeowners to transfer their property tax base to a replacement residence: that the homeowner be over 55 or severely disabled, replacement property be of equal or lesser value, replacement residence be in a specific county, and the transfer occur only once. Removes similar replacement-value and location requirements on transfers for contaminated or disaster-destroyed property. Requires adjustments to the replacement property’s tax base, based on the new property’s value. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Annual property tax losses for cities, counties, and special districts in the hundreds of millions of dollars per year in the near term, growing over time to a few billion dollars per year (in today’s dollars). Annual property tax losses for schools in the hundreds of millions of dollars per year in the near term, growing over time to a few billion dollars per year (in today’s dollars). Equivalent increase in state costs for schools in most years. (17-0011.) 1808. (17-0012A1)

Vote: The motion to endorse passed with no objection.

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting

Candidate Support Committee Report

Ted Brown, Candidate Support Committee Chair, reported that we had sent out a mailing to current and former LPC members that did well. We spent approximately $1,000 for the mailing and have received $4,935 in contributions so far. We sent the mailing at the bulk mail rate so it’s likely that the letters are still being received by the recipients. Although he had hoped for more contributors there were a few larger donations; Chris Rufer donated $3,000 and Dan Fernandez from Los Angeles donated $500. He also reported that the current balance in the bank account it $9,257. In addition reported that Baron Bruno had signed an agreement to do phone fundraising for the committee and we will pay him a 25% commission on contributions he solicits. Baron and Mimi are going to get together regarding the lists he will be working from and he will also be given access to Ring Central so he will be calling from the LP phone number. Questions: Robert Imhoff asked if there was any procedure for candidates to request financial assistance from the CSC. Ted answered that although there is no procedures in place candidates can reach out to the committee members which are Ted Brown, Mimi Robson, Mark Hinkle, Jonathan Jaech and Baron Bruno. Campaign 2018

Ted Brown restated that we had just endorsed several candidates and they will be added to the website as well as the two unendorsed Governor candidates. He also stated we should release separate press releases; one for Lieutenant Governor, one for the congressional candidates and one for the state legislature candidates. In addition there should be press releases regarding the two Governor candidates and the endorsed state initiatives. Ted has also been receiving emails from people that are interested in running for office in 2018. He hasn’t gotten back to many people in the past few weeks but will be following up with everyone that is interested soon. He also knows of several other candidates that are running, primarily from Northern California, that didn’t make it to the meeting but can be endorsed at our next meeting. He also noted that before the top-two primaries he would recruit candidates for all offices as they would then be on the ballot in November, however now he only recruits for specific district offices. For example, he recruits people for special elections as they receive a lot of attention, such as Angela McArdle and Andrew Aguero. Last week State Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra resigned for sexual harassment allegations. Bocanegra represents the East San Fernando Valley and there will be a special election to fill that seat, however so far he hasn’t found anyone that has agreed to run. Ted is also actively recruiting for state wide offices and Gail Lightfoot has agreed to run for Secretary of State. She has run for that office several times in the past and is very well versed, however she will need assistance with filing fees and fees for her candidate 23

Libertarian Party of California December 2, 2017 Executive Committee Meeting statement. He is also trying to find a candidate for Insurance Commissioner and has one person interested but hasn’t confirmed. He would like to find candidate for the remaining state wide positions. 2018 Convention Report

Appendix A Northern Vice Chair’s Report

Northern Vice-Chair’s Report

Report Date: 12/2/2017 Northern Vice-Chair: Kenneth Brent Olsen, Psy.D.

Northern Vice Chair Purpose, per Bylaws of the Libertarian Party of California • Bylaw 10, Section 4: The Vice-Chairs shall act as assistants to the Chair. The Northern Vice-Chair shall reside in the northern half of the state, and the Southern Vice-Chair shall reside in the southern half of the state (with the state divided at the northern boundaries of San Luis Obispo, Kern, and San Bernardino counties). Each Vice- Chair shall be responsible for coordinating activities in their respective halves of the state. • Bylaw 9, Section 4: The appropriate Vice-Chair may appoint a county Chair Pro Tem for any county in which there is no active county organization. It shall be the responsibility of said Chair Pro Tem to promote the development of a county organization within that county. Mission Statement My mission as the Northern Vice Chair is to locate individuals able and willing to serve as Chair Pro Tem for their respective counties and to assist them in organizing sustainable local party affiliates in those counties who are active and engaged in promoting and building the Libertarian Party locally, as well as promoting and recruiting Libertarian candidates in those areas. Executive Overview • Of the Northern 48 counties, 13 have fully affiliated and active party organizations. These are: Alameda, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Kings, Monterey, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Joaquin, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Yolo. • Of the Northern 48 counties, 3 have organized, adopted Bylaws, and elected officers. They have met all qualifications for full affiliation. It is my intention to make a motion for them to be recognized by the Party at this Executive Committee meeting for full affiliation. These are: Fresno, Santa Cruz, Stanislaus. • Of the Northern 48 counties, 7 have Chair Pro Tems appointed by myself or my predecessor(s), but have not yet met the qualifications for affiliation. These are: Humboldt, Mendocino, Merced, Plumas, Solano, Sonoma, Tulare. • Of the Northern 48 counties, 25 have no appointed Chair Pro Tem and are not organized.

Appendix B Southern Vice Chair’s Report

Southern Vice-Chair’s Report

Report Date: 12/2/2017 Southern Vice-Chair: Jonathan Jaech

Southern Vice Chair Report Q4 2017 We in the movement for liberty in the Southland are fortunate to have many bright lamps to talk about. I apologize for having to be so brief, due to press of other business and the lack of a speechwriter.

One of the bright lamps is in Santa Barbara, where Chair Pro Tem Brandon Morse is organizing a convention set for January 13 at the Rusty Pelican, 270 Stork Road, Goleta CA 93117 starting around 6 PM. That’s when students are coming back from break so an opportune time. Brandon is looking for pocket constitutions, libertarian brochures, and other friffage for political outreach. If you would like to contribute I can put you in touch with him. Let’s give Santa Barbara County a very warm welcome from a long absence, and show up on the 13th with our hearts and wallets open.

Chuck Hamm and Aaron Starr are kicking it in Ventura County with the recall campaign.

Tim Ferreira is running for Lt Gov. and had a successful fundraiser about a month ago. His campaign just kicked off, already he has raised five figures. He has some interesting first hand insight into how deregulation in the Energy industry led to a better environment. He is serious, a center line libertarian, and has gathered a strong team. Please take a moment to check him out at Tim2018.COM right now.

I hope that you will move today and recognize that the body would vote to do the same, as you endorse his campaign.

Nicholas Wildstar is continuing his campaign with freshness and flair. I’m enjoying following his campaign. You should check out his website at governorwildstar.com and endorse him, too.

Our own Kevin Shaw has won acknowledgement from the U.S. Justice Dept., Jeff Sessions of all people, for his fight against free speech restrictions at Pierce College.

There has been no news from San Diego to my ears. Riverside and Orange and San Bernardino have been going about their business. I wish I had time for a fuller report.

The JC opinion in Dovner v. LPLAC continues to sow destruction and danger in LA County. I pointed out key concerns in my last report. Briefly, there are allegations and credible evidence that the JC held a secret trial and colluded with officers to deny those under attack the right to represent themselves and confront their accusers. These are serious issues. We should all be concerned about being complicit in any political attack under the guise of Party justice. Our reputations and our Party are at stake. For some of us, more than our reputations.

28 Southern Vice-Chair’s Report December 2, 2017 Appendix B

I asked you in my last report to reach out and listen, to understand one another instead of attacking. Some civil discussion has happened, but not enough in LA County. At least one officer has escalated attacks on those perceived to be weak. Attacks have raised serious threats to the safety and well-being of members, not to mention risk of legal liability. Business meetings have been rancorous with no bridging of differences. Officers have resisted calls to investigate alleged misconduct.

If it were up to me, this body would repudiate the JC opinion that has driven so much of the friction in LA County. It has no moral force, and came out of a corrupt process. I would repudiate not only a single opinion but the pattern it reflects. That pattern being repeated abuse of Party offices and Bylaws to attack our members. I will not be complicit in it. Details are not a fit topic for a Vice Chair report. If you have questions, contact me. I am sorry I could not be with you today to discuss in person. Reach out to the members of Alive Free Happy who have been targeted. Listen, learn, and respect your fellow laborer.

See you next time.

Appendix C Secretary’s Report

Secretary’s Report

Report Date: 12/2/2017 Secretary: Mimi Robson

LPC Minutes The following is the status of LPC Minutes since last reported at the Executive Committee Meeting on September 23, 2017 in San Jose: • September 23, 2017 Executive Committee Minutes – Draft Minutes were distributed via email on October 14, 2017. After email discussion a motion was made by Honor Robson and seconded by Kenneth Brent Olsen to approve on October 19, 2017. Voting ended after 48 hours, with all Committee Members assumed to be present (per the Bylaws) on October 21, 2017 as follows: o Voting “aye”: Alex Appleby, David Bowers, Ted Brown, Steven Haug, Jennifer Imhoff, Robert Imhoff, Tyler Kuskie, Zachary Moore, Kenneth Brent Olsen, Honor Robson and Susan Marie Weber o Voting “nay”: none o Formal Abstention: Wendy Hewitt (she wasn’t in attendance at the meeting) o Abstention: Jonathan Jaech, Boomer Shannon and Jason Wu With a final vote tally of 11 – 0 – 4 the motion passed with a 2/3 Majority

LPC Membership The following is the status of LPC Membership since last reported at the Executive Committee Meeting on June 11, 2017 in Monrovia: • The membership at of the end of the 3 nd quarter (September 30, 2017) was 900 which was an increase of 3 members from the end of August. This was the first month since I began tracking the monthly membership that we had an increase! At the end of November we had 939 members so we are now increasing our membership after losing all of the members that joined last year for the sole purpose of being national delegates. Much of this is due to the hard work and diligence of our new Membership Committee Chair, Mark Hinkle, who has made more than 900 calls in the past 2 months! • The Membership Committee sent a mail campaign on November 14, 2017 to 1,140 members that are current National LP members but weren’t LPC members. The letters are just starting to arrive and we’ve already gotten several new members. Our breakeven point for the mailing is 45 basic members which should be easily accomplished.

30 Secretary’s Report December 2, 2017 Appendix C

• The goal set by the Membership Committee is to double our membership by the time of the 2018 Convention which means that we have a minimum of 2,032. We have a ways to go but I think we can do it!

LPC Membership Database • Since the 2017 Convention I have continued my work in reconciling the state database with the County Affiliate records. o I have still not been able to verify the County Executive Committee members for Nevada County. I’ve sent several emails to Donn Coenen with no response. o San Diego County’s membership is up to date for the most part. I have been back in touch with Jim Dueweke as well as their new Membership Chair, Alan Ritter. As of October the state shows San Diego as having 124 members however the San Diego records only show them as having 114. I have forwarded the most current membership as well as the discrepancies I’ve found between our two databases so this should be cleared up shortly. Once done we will finally be looking at dues sharing for San Diego as Jim didn’t want to start that until everything was in sync. o I’ve updated NEON to reflect the new Membership Levels: ° Basic Member $25 ° Basic Member-Two Year $50 ° Supporter $50 ° Supporter-Two Year $100 ° Statesman $250 ° Statesman-Two Year $500 ° Patriot $500 ° Life Member $1,000 ° Beacon of Liberty (Life) $5,000

LPC Operating Procedures Manual Bylaw 29: Operating Procedures Manual The Secretary shall maintain an addendum to the bylaws that contains operating procedures that are created by a vote of the Executive Committee or the Operations Committee. The addendum shall be published and made available in the same way as the bylaws so that anyone who can access the bylaws can also access the addendum, including, publication of the page on the Party’s website that is readily available to any member, to be updated in the manual within 30 days. • Since the last Executive Committee Meeting I have completed the compilation of the Operating Procedures (attached). • I’ve also annotated the 2000 Standing Resolutions which are annotated with resolutions that had been revised or rescinded since (attached).

Secretary’s Report December 2, 2017 Appendix C

• Per the Resolution adopted in 1989, the Operating Procedures Manual (formally referred to as Standing Resolutions) will be an agenda item at all Executive Committee meetings. Therefore I will be discussing the contents of the manual further under that item. • Discussion of the Operating Procedures Manual will be under a separate agenda item.

LPC County Bylaws Bylaw 10: Officers Section 5 The Secretary shall cause the most recently adopted Platform, Program, and Bylaws and Convention Rules, as well as the Bylaws of all county organizations to appear on the Party website not more than thirty days after adoption. • Per the Bylaws, it is the Secretary’s responsibility that the most current California Libertarian Party Bylaws as well as the Bylaws of each County Affiliate to be posted to the State website. • Since the last Executive Committee Meeting I’ve not received any additional county Bylaws so the following are still the only ones published on the website. o Alameda County o Los Angeles County o Sacramento County o San Luis Obispo County o San Mateo County o Santa Clara County o Ventura County

LPC Committee and Officer’s Reports • Since taking on the position of Secretary I’ve strived to complete all meeting minutes in a timely manner. I’ve done this as I feel that for full transparency of what the Executive Committee is doing we need to post the minutes for all Central Committee Members. Most organizations, including the National Libertarian Party, require reports to be forwarded to the chair, secretary and committee 2 weeks prior to each meeting, and I believe that the LPC should instate the same requirement. • Therefore I am making the following motion: I move the following Standing Rule of Order to be included in the General Provisions of the Operating Procedures Manual: Prior to each Executive Committee Meeting all Committee and Officer’s reports shall be submitted to the Party’s Chair and Secretary a minimum of 1 week before the meeting: 1. To be included in the Agenda

Secretary’s Report December 2, 2017 Appendix C

2. To be included in the appendices of the Meeting Minutes 3. For publication to the Executive Committee Prior to the Party’s Annual Convention all Committee and Officer’s report shall be submitted to the Party’s Secretary (unless a Committee meets just prior to the Convention, such as the Platform Committee) a minimum of 2 weeks before the Convention, for publication to the full Executive Committee and the full Central Committee. Additional commentary during the report, as well as questions and subsequent motions, need not be included in the submitted report and shall be included in the body of the meeting’s minutes.

• Standing Rules: Shall be limited to matters of policy and shall define the operating procedures of the Executive Committee. Standing Rules [previously referred to as Advisory Resolutions (89)] relate to details of administration.

Treasurer’s Report

Dues Sharing

So far this year only $100 has been received from the counties. Since dues sharing is a two way-street how do we start sharing in both directions? In July checks started being mailed to the counties. The total distribution was $2,425.00. The next distribution is scheduled for January. The county dues sharing report shows the amounts to be distributed as of November 30. FPPC Late Fee

There were three reports that were not filed on time. One form was a 410 that was due by January 31. When I mailed that form I included the $150.00 late fee. The other reports were the more complex form 460. One was due on September 29, 2016 and the other was due on January 31, 2017. There is an electronic version of these forms filed online and a paper copy of the same form that needs to be singed and mailed in. The late fee is $10 per day for each format of the form. We received notice from the Secretary of State that we owe $4,250.00 as a late fee for not getting the reports done on time. We ask for a waiver of the late fee when the 460 form was mailed and was granted a 50% reduction of the amount. We were given the option of making payments instead of paying the full amount now. The first $500.00 monthly payment has been mailed. There should be some oversite of the treasurer position or a requirement that the treasurer verify that forms are filed on time and that all spending is authorized. We need to decide on how to implement this. Reports

Membership Committee Report

Report Date: 12/2/2017 Chair: Mark Hinkle Members: Mimi Robson, Chuck Hamm, Steve Haug, Kenneth Brent Olsen

Membership Committee

Goals

Goal = 2,000 dues paying members by start of 2018 LPC convention (current = 882).

Progress Report

As you’ve heard in prior meetings, the LPC NEON database/CRM was in very sad shape due to neglect and incompetence by the former treasurer and secretary. Thanks to Mimi Robson and myself, virtually every record of the current dues paying membership and a fair number of past members have had their information corrected and/or updated. More work is still needed though.

An edited version of the successful Ted Brown membership recruitment letter was mailed on November 14, 2017 to 1,140 LNC members in California who are NOT current LPC members. The first responses came back on November 20 th via our website, using coupon code LNC.

Most responses, so far, have been via the LPC’s web site at ca.lp.org/join. Those mailed in go to the Sacramento LPC’s drop box, and then once a week, they are forwarded to Ted Brown for processing/checks deposited. A check image is sent to the Treasurer, Steve Haug, for proper accounting.

The letter includes an offer of one of two books as premiums for those who responded at the Supporter ($50) or above. Arrangements were made with Forum Press to ship, at $13 each, either Steven Greenhut’s book Plunder, or Judge Jim Gray’s book, A Voter’s Handbook. Both books were signed by the respective authors.

While the final numbers are yet to be calculated, we do know that we need at least 45 dues paying members at the $25 level are needed to break even on the printing/mailing costs. We’re not there yet. So far, we have 10 new members and $425.94 in income, which is short of the $1,113.42 cost of the letter. The entire process (printing, collating, and mailing) was handled by Tony Tyler of One Stop Printers. Typically, there’s a 4-6- week window for most letters of this type to be mailed, delivered, opened, and responded to. 73 Membership Committee Report December 2, 2017 Appendix H

The NEON CRM system automatically sends out 4 membership renewal notices to our members whose memberships are about to expire: 30 and 7 days before their expiration date and 10 and 30 days afterwards. If possible, I want to expand that to 7 reminders. Also, new members get an automatic welcome message when they join, and I’m copied on that in case there’s some reason to follow up, i.e. lack of phone number or email or no mailing address.

Work is in progress to follow up the current recruitment letter with an email blast to remind those LNC members to join the LPC, either via SENDGRID or Robly.

LPC Membership Levels

These LPC membership levels are now on the LPC’s website: Basic Membership ($25) Basic Two-Year Membership ($50) Supporter ($50) Supporter Two Year Membership ($100) Statesman ($250) Statesman Two Year ($500) Patriot ($500) Life Membership ($1,000) Beacon of Liberty ($5,000) Also, new members and renewals will NOT have to create a user ID and password.

Thanks to the added membership levels and thanks to the two-year members, we now have 31 basic two-year members compared to zero last year. We have two supporter members ($50 per year) and two supporter members for 2 years. And year to date, we have 2 new lifetime memberships ($1,000).

Our average membership contribution level has also increased over last year’s contribution levels.

Future Plans

Starting in January, we’ll mail monthly membership recruitment letters to the following lists:

1. LNC members who are not LPC members (including phone calls and email blasts) 2. Registered libertarians, likely in this order:

74 Membership Committee Report December 2, 2017 Appendix H

a. New registered libertarians from the Johnson/Weld campaign (approximate 14K) b. High propensity voters (voting in 4 of the last 5 elections c. Past LPC members that have let their membership lapse d. Mailing lists from organizations like Reason, Cato, Heartland, etc.

Funding raising to cover the mailing costs above will undoubtedly be required.

For LPC related membership business, I have requested, and received, an email address, [email protected] that henceforth I’ll be using for communications to/from our membership or perspective members.

I personally attended two webinars related to membership growth and retention. One was put on by NEON, our CRM/Database and the other by Wild Apricot, the CRM/Database/Web site used by the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association.

Every time I log into NEON, here’s a graph that they present to me:

I’ll be available, via telephone, if you have any questions during the meeting. However, Mimi Robson can probably answer most, if not all, questions regarding membership and the NEON CRM we’re using to process LPC members.

• Update Executive Committee on NeonCRM Updates • Update Executive Committee on NeonCRM Replacement Database Committee Committee Purpose

• Clearly identify problems with current NeonCRM solution • Identify quick wins to resolve problems within NeonCRM • Build process around managing membership in NeonCRM • Explorer replacements for NeonCRM Mission Statement

To provide a real-time, accurate account, of new, existing, and potential members of the California Libertarian Party, for purposes of maintaining membership information and providing real-time accurate information from one central system.

Executive Overview

The Database Committee has made great strides towards testing a new replacement for NeonCRM. After review of the two options we were exploring, we have decided to recommend staying with Neon system. On November 11 th , 2016, the Executive Committee had established this committee with the explicit purpose of resolving issues within NeonCRM, fixing database issues due to neglected records over a long period of time, and exploring a possible replacement. We have achieved these goals at this time. As the Database Committee Chair, Robert Imhoff recommends that we re-issue approval to keep the committee in place, by conversation to a Standing Committee, with

78 Database Committee Report December 2, 2017 Appendix J new goals; or, declare the goals of the committee a success, and it will shut down at the end of the December 2 nd , 2017 Executive Committee Meeting. NeonCRM Report

• Changes to NeonCRM o Created new “Default” templates to allow for fancy looking forms o Created coupon codes for LNC membership drive o Created event for 2018 Convention, all tickets are currently being sold through this form • System changes in NeonCRM o “Forms” now available to allow for better customization of fields • Work to be completed o Insert PayPal gateway for more payment options to membership NeonCRM Report

The database committee has finished the testing of CiviCRM (Via Tim’s campaign page), and NationBuilder. After a phone discussion with Tim, Mimi, and Steve, it was determined that NeonCRM updates are satisfactory enough to keep using. Though, Steve still wishes for us to move away from Authorize.net. The other two systems are more appropriate for an “Activist” function, not a “Membership” function at this time.

Executive Overview The Social Media Committee is continuing its work to gain access to the various accounts associated with the Libertarian Party. We are in the process of documenting each account to help us keep track of engagement, information sharing, and account management. We are in the process of applying branding and delegating appropriate admins. to county pages and groups. Of the 122 accounts identified we have found 36 that can be deleted based on the existence of a attrition and duplication. It is our goal to have only one facebook page and/or group dedicated to each affiliate with control of the site belonging to those affiliates.

We have continued our interaction with our followers by liking status, sharing twitter posts, and responding to questions. We have continued our support of affiliates by reposting their events, photos, and press coverage.

A 6 month review of the Facebook and Twitter analytics illustrate the value of ad placement. Paid advertising increased our impressions 100% on Facebook. This not only leads to brand recognition but also follow through with an average of 13 users clicking on the “Sign Up” button directly on the Facebook Page. The social media committee recommends implementing a standing budget to be applied to Facebook advertisement of $150 per month. We would like to apply this to boosting LPC events and press release coverage.
