::::::If you can use autowikibrowser without additional permissions, feel free to go ahead.  The other items, those are in the wheelhouse of some of the other committee members (such as the licensing disclosures and graphics), so I do hope you can make the meeting.  It is not required to be a committee member to be an admin, just willingness and know-how, so we can discuss that at the meeting, if it would make things easier for you.  The committee is somewhat broken up into areas (such as the aforementioned topics) - I am the one who handles patrolling, over-all category scheme (if you have access to a mac or mac simulator, I can send you my omnioutliner category layout file which makes very the layout very easy for planning purposes).  I also do a lot of the physical side stuff with the actual records as the records archive is in Colorado under my supervision.[[User:CarynAnnHarlos|CarynAnnHarlos]] ([[User talk:CarynAnnHarlos|talk]]) 21:04, 23 June 2019 (CDT)

::::::::[[User:CarynAnnHarlos|CarynAnnHarlos]]: Great! I tried to get AWB setup but wasn’t able to find what URL to use when setting which wiki for AWB to edit. What do you use? I tried https://lpedia.org and I also tried it with a www. in front and neither worked. Thanks, [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 21:08, 23 June 2019 (CDT)
:::::::::I will need to go power up my Windows box to look up what url I was using- I bought a Windows box just to use that as I am typically apple only - I will try to get that later this evening as it is in another part of the house (not with my primary workstation). I know I had to play around with it and put a /w/ in there somewhere.[[User:CarynAnnHarlos|CarynAnnHarlos]] ([[User talk:CarynAnnHarlos|talk]]) 21:14, 23 June 2019 (CDT)
{{Outdent}}
:Adding a /w/ works! Thanks, [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 07:29, 27 June 2019 (CDT)
::Hm, it logs me in but attempting to make an edit causes AWB to crash and restart. [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 07:39, 27 June 2019 (CDT)
:::I haven't used it in a while but that sounds like an AWB issue.  Ed Fochler (he who does not have an LPedia article) might be the best to talk to about that.[[User:CarynAnnHarlos|CarynAnnHarlos]] ([[User talk:CarynAnnHarlos|talk]]) 09:26, 5 July 2019 (CDT)
==Something I overlooked==
I was getting ready to send over the NDA and Admin responsibility form and there is one portion that I do not think you will agree to.  Please review and let me know and if not if you would like the committee to consider an exception as long as we privately have that information. [[LPedia:Administrator Responsibilities]]
:Yes; if the committee would consider an exception to the first part of number 3, I would be very grateful. I am happy to include my contact information (email) on my userpage, although I keep my real name hidden for security reasons which I can explain in more depth if asked. Thank you, [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 11:47, 11 July 2019 (CDT)
::Oddly enough, I wasn’t a member of the LP national party. I am now, and bought a few buttons on the online store :) [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 11:59, 11 July 2019 (CDT)
:::[[User:CarynAnnHarlos|CarynAnnHarlos]], any news? [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 15:35, 21 July 2019 (CDT)
::::Sorry, I disappear during the weeks leading up to an LNC meeting but I am back now.  Last meeting we discussed a policy change, and I was tasked with providing a revised draft admin responsibilities policy for vote next meeting.  The sense of the committee is as follows:
:::::*The NDA we keep on file at HQ needs to be signed with legal name which will then be known to the committee and HQ but unless compelled legally or ethically to prevent a NAP violation will be kept confidential
:::::*The volunteer using a psuedonym needs to use it consistently in LP stuff, for example, cannot be a candidate using legal name but declining to use here- this does not mean small libertarian things like socials but we are just trying to avoid sockpuppetry.
::::With those caveats, I think we can work something out.  I have not disclosed any information I have to the rest of the committee, only that I am aware of your legal name but until you sign the NDA, right now I am the only one who knows. I explained my past experiences with stalking and harassment so that I fully understand the situation.  My phone number is public - you can always call or email me if I miss a message.  561.523.2250 caryn.ann.harlo@lp.org [[User:CarynAnnHarlos|CarynAnnHarlos]] ([[User talk:CarynAnnHarlos|talk]]) 02:54, 31 July 2019 (CDT)
==Getting Started as Admin==
Last night the committee approved the revisions to the Administrator Responsibilities we discussed.  If you sign the NDA I sent you last week (which will then be on file with HQ staff and the rest of the committee but not publicly) and acknowledge here that you agree to the [[LPedia: Administrator Responsibilities]] I can get that done.

:Hey, sorry, didn't see this; I've been a bit busy as of late. Thanks for emailing me about it as a reminder. Sending. [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 20:58, 10 September 2019 (CDT)
::Promoted.  Please make sure to update your user page pursuant to [[LPedia: Administrator Responsibilities]].  Let's get together on things you want to work on.[[User:CarynAnnHarlos|CarynAnnHarlos]] ([[User talk:CarynAnnHarlos|talk]]) 01:39, 20 September 2019 (CDT)
==Why was [[:Category: Small l libertarians]] deleted?==
[[User:CarynAnnHarlos|CarynAnnHarlos]] ([[User talk:CarynAnnHarlos|talk]]) 00:43, 22 September 2019 (CDT)
:[[User:CarynAnnHarlos|CarynAnnHarlos]], it is not necessary as [[:Category:Small L Libertarians|this category]] exists. If it's better to redirect categories here rather than deletion, I'm happy to undo and fix it. Best, [[User:Vermont|Vermont]] ([[User talk:Vermont|talk]]) 21:10, 25 September 2019 (CDT)
::Okay got it.  No problem.[[User:CarynAnnHarlos|CarynAnnHarlos]] ([[User talk:CarynAnnHarlos|talk]]) 00:54, 26 September 2019 (CDT)
