Title of appeal petition as filed:

In re: Suspension of LNC Secretary Caryn Ann Harlos

Background

On August 25th, 2024, the Libertarian National Committee (LNC) voted 8-6 to create an investigatory committee to “investigate allegations of misconduct against Secretary Caryn Ann Harlos, which if true cast doubt on her fitness to continue in office, and report resolutions if allegations are well founded.” On October 6, 2024, the investigatory committee returned a secret report, allegedly 31 pages, to members of the Libertarian National Committee, but not to members or the public. According to the Phillies Petition in In re: Judicial Committee Appeal to Void LNC Decisions of October 6, 2024 (Phillies vs. LNC), "At its October 6, 2024 meeting, the Libertarian National Committee acted on motions on the specifications, charges, and further motions. Motions adopting Specification 2 of Charge 1, Charge 1 itself, the three Specifications of Charge 2, Charge 2 itself, and the two consequent motions all clearly passed."

On Nov. 9, 2024, the LNC voted to suspend (remove) Harlos. Harlos has appealed.

  • Note: The LNC attempted to publish a confidential report over the objection of the subject. This matter has been referred to the Historical Preservation Committee for decision absent the subject as being in potential violation of LPedia:Manual_of_Style#Handling_of_Potentially_Damaging_Information. This will be on the agenda for the meeting on December 17, 2024. But this has been published in multiple places, and so as not to break links people have made it is being linked here until committee makes decision LNC Investigatory Committee Report 2024-10-06.pdf.
