An in-person meeting was held in Syracuse the weekend following Election Day. A Party Rules Subcommittee of 6 members was created under the Administrative Division to create a rules document that complies with Election Law. An additional 5 members were added to the committee, with [[Jim Rosenbeck]] appointed as chair. Following a series of discussions on different versions of rules, another committee led by [[Larry Sharpe]] and composed of 9 of the original 11 members was created. The new committee spent nearly every day working through the document to build a final version. The final version was filed with the New York State Board of Elections on December 24, 2018. The State Committee formally endorsed those rules on January 6, 2019. The rules created a [[Libertarian Party of New York Transition Committee|Transition Committee]], which was tasked with facilitating the transition from January 2019 until the spring 2019 convention. | |||
