I'm fine with any of those locations, including Seattle although I will be there next month for a memorial.

 The LNC would not be petitioning. I'm expecting to have enough signature before then. Some LNC might help with a publicity event on Friday or Monday if the signatures are ready to turn in. Other press opportunities might exist. 

 I'm fine meeting anywhere. 

 My usual first place choices for every meeting are New Orleans (close to my parents & great food), Las Vegas (fun), or DC (I don't have to pack). I was very pleasantly surprised with how nice Phoenix was last March. Loved the hotel. So, if you are worried that I'm pushing too hard for OKC, it's for the great prices and new LP activity there, not for me personally, although I have many relatives in Oklahoma.

 I was previously pushing to combine it with training in San Francisco or L.A., but could not get consensus. I'd be fine with Washington state, personally, but it seems like a long long way to fly for most people.

 Regarding OKC, is there an actual expectation that the LNC would be out petitioning instead of meeting?  Did I just misunderstand that or possibly read into it incorrectly?

  My quick checks show New Orleans, OKC, and Phoenix all have reasonably good airfares for February 19-21.

   I would advocate Phoenix over New Orleans.

 * PHX is easy and generally cheap to fly into
 * Phoenix itself is easy to get around
 * Car rentals tend to be super cheap in Phoenix
 * The city is specifically setup for business conferences
 * We have two potential sites to visit there
  * While it's not entirely west coast, it does address that imbalance to other members (a little at least)

  Sam, what about New Orleans or Phoenix?

  Robert found a couple of properties in OKC with rooms at around the  $80/night level, free breakfast, and the meeting space is free or just a couple  hundred dollars or so. That would be the least expensive  LNC meeting in a long time. We could sign a deal right away if you'd like.

 Helms Briscoe says they don't expect proposals the week of  Christmas. So, we can wait to see what comes up with Helms Briscoe later, and compare  those to the OKC options, or go with OKC now.

  Since we don't yet have a plan for a  February meeting location, I just emailed our 2018  site search agent asking her to find  out if any of the short-list options might have  available space for the Feb 20  weekend.  (Cities are:  Atlantic City, NJ; New Orleans, LA;  Phoenix, AZ; Bellevue, WA)  I indicated that time is of the  essence, so they should send us their offers  quickly if they're available.

   Sam, at least as of a week ago I  don't think staff has been asked to
 research any locations.  Copying Robert to verify. I proposed San  Francisco
 recently but got zero  interest from the LNC.

 I found a great place in  Oklahoma City for $79 per night if you  all are
 interested. Best Western  Saddleback. Nice meeting space and free  breakfast.
 Southwest Airlines  doesn't charge change fees if you need to  change your
 flight. I flew into the ice  storm Saturday after Thanksgiving  and the people
 there didn't seem to panic  even with downed power lines and  trees
 everywhere. Was nice to be  able to change flight just in case though
