| ==Notorious Nine==
| |
|
| |
| In the time leading up the [[National Convention 2020]], there was a split in the LNC concerning the authority of the LNC to unilaterally set online-only conventions and to declare all delegates (both online and in-person) as credentialled in a hybrid convention due to the [[COVID 19]] pandemic. This split coalesced around an unlikely group of allies that the then-chair [[Nicholas Sarwark]] called the "[[Notorious Nine]]" (though in reality it was ten people) when critiquing opposition to his points of view on the LNC. While the term was not meant to be flattering, the ten persons took it as a badge of honor as all sides involved felt they were doing the right thing. The Notorious Nine were vindicated by the second sitting of the [[National Convention 2020]] wherein the LNC overreach in usurping the delegates' right to decide whether or not a hybrid convention would be permitted was soundly rebuked. The delegates did approve the hybrid convention but wanted to be clear that it was their decision to make and to make sure no future LNC made the same mistake. Many LNC members on the other side of the issue candidly told Harlos that she was in hindsight right on this issue. Despite a coordinated campaign to unseat the Notorious Nine, the majority of them, including Harlos, were re-elected with the general feeling being that they acted with integrity, even by those who disagreed at the time. Under the new leadership of 2020-2022 chair [[Joseph Bishop-Henchman]] that rift was quickly healed.
