[Lnc-business] Website presentation - Time Sensitive

[Geoffrey Neale]

We will be having an EC meeting at 9 on Tuesday,  I will not be available on
Monday.

 

I have only one question: will the presentation be available for more than a
"dog & pony" show?  I distrust relying on just my initial responses, and
prefer being deliberate.

LNC -

 

Over the last several months, a top tier design and branding company has
been working on a proposal for lp.org. I have seen a couple mockups, and the
design is outstanding. They have quite a few things to offer, including
backend and front end development. In visual terms, a blind man can tell
that they are the best we have seen so far. They have some branding and
content notes that are pretty solid as well.

 

This is something that transcends the IT committee, because it deeply
involves branding strategy, not just design and backend. What they have to
say could potentially revolutionize what we're doing, or be a terribly
foolish proposal.

 

This is not something that we should sit on until the July meeting, which is
highly compressed as it is. Their schedule is also very tight, and unless we
can do the presentation before the 29th, we'll have to wait for several more
weeks (designers of this caliber are in heavy demand). 

 

Jorge, who runs this team, is Libertarian, with decades of experience. The
team has worked on high level political campaigns, top end commercial stuff,
etc. They have already done quite a bit of work for us for free on facebook,
and has done the initial, and very thorough brand analysis for us for free
because of their passion for the Libertarian cause.

 

Our website is our most important form of outreach. Even if we decide not to
go with this team, I believe we should hear them out in a timely manner. 

 

To put some possibilities out there: How do next Monday, Tues, or Wed at 8,
830, or 9 eastern sound? We don't have ways to hold official meetings
outside of executive committee, but can we get at least a majority of the
LNC and the ED to attend a proposal on something that could literally
transform the political map of this country?
