If there is a series of documents regularly produced by a particular committee or other body, the name or an abbreviation of the name of that body should be included as part of the document type along with the general type. For example "State Convention Report" rather than just "Report", "LNC Minutes" rather than just "Minutes". The particular instances of such documents can then be distinguished by the year/date which follows. If a document relates to a one-time event or ad hoc committee, then a name starting with just "Report" or "Minutes" may be appropriate (but the name of the event/meeting should still be includes somewhere, as should the date since another event with a similar name may happen in the future). | If there is a series of documents regularly produced by a particular committee or other body, the name or an abbreviation of the name of that body should be included as part of the document type along with the general type.

Since many different Libertarian Party organizations may have documents of the same type (e.g., bylaws) and committees with similar names (e.g., "Executive Committee"), consideration should be given to this in choosing names for document pages. In general, if there is any reason to believe that the same terminology for a type of document is in use both by the national LP and by state affiliates, this distinction should be included in the associated page names. Pages for national documents should include the word "National" (e.g., "Document:National Bylaws 2012") unless there is already something in the name that clearly implies national (e.g., "Document:LNC Minutes 1 September 1991"). Minutes of state executive committees should have names that include both the state and the name of the committee (e.g., "California Executive Committee Minutes 10 February 2018"). | Since many different Libertarian Party organizations may have documents of the same type (e.g., bylaws) and committees with similar names (e.g., "Executive Committee"), consideration should be given to this in choosing names for document pages.
