I would recommend adding or removing one person to attempt to avoid ties unless you don't expect that to be an issue when making final decisions about what, if anything, to present to the committee.
That’s a great point, I don’t think there will be ties. The six member committee concept was tested during the Bruen resolution ad-hoc committee, it worked well that time so my hope is it works the same here.
 
Seeing that more than 6 individuals have volunteered, I would ask those that are not on this list to voice any objection. If they do not, I would be in support of this.

I do not see anything in the bylaws as to how appointments should be made to a committee, suggesting appointments are at our discretion, including methodology.
 
Having a tie is really not an issue on a committee as we can simply present it to the body as such. If it really is a concern we can simply nominate a chair and that person's vote can be the tiebreaker. This is not a yes vs. no issue, but a discourse about how to present a topic in a way that represents LP Texas well to the community at large. Hope that makes sense.
That being said I am concerned why some were left out and would definitely be open to adding more voices to the discussion.

I saw you were interested in the other thread, but wasn't clear if you were actually nominating yourself. Additionally, here it sounds like you might have an objection regarding the panel selection.
Re: my previous post looking for objection from interested parties, if you can clarify nomination and objection, that will help me cast my vote accordingly, assuming this motion meets threshold.
