Bringing the total of recognized state LP affiliates to 15, up from 8 prior to the ExecComm meeting. | |||
A petition from Arizona was rejected, after evidence was presented that there were irregularities in that state's temporary organization. A petition from Wisconsin was approved subject to resubmission with signatures, rather than typed names. A motion by some California LP members to remove recognition from the currently recognized organization, headed by [[Alan Coon]], and accept a petition from their group instead, was rejected. It was voted that in the future, petitions for affiliation cannot be submitted until a state convention has been held, at which the National LP [[Statement of Principles]] is endorsed, officers elected, and a state Constitution and By-Laws adopted. This will hopefully eliminate problems of the type which arose in the Arizona and California situations. | |||
James Bryant of Oregon resigned from his At-Large position. [[Paul Hodgson]], the Region 8 Representative filled that slot leaving a vacancy in Region 8. | |||
It was decided to publish [[LP News]] bi-monthly rather than monthly and the month of June was selected for the [[National Convention 1973]]. | |||
