Thu Mar 16 19:18:21 EDT 2017

I would attend a national convention training session on Friday in Denver.

Thoughts?

A former LNC member set up a poll on polljunkie.com to help the LNC decide
before. If anyone would like to try that, perhaps it would help you all
decide where to have a meeting. 

Here are results from that poll from a year ago:

http://polljunkie.com/poll/yqbizi/poll-2-please-do-not-open-the-page-and-the
n-not-vote/view

I do not decide where the meetings are. In fact, almost every specific
location I've proposed for many years has failed (and I'm not offended--just
pointing out a historical fact--definitely no one should go buying tickets
for Denver just because I floated that suggestion). 

The LNC has the option to decide when and where the meetings are, and if it
doesn't exercise its option, the chair decides. 

I'm mostly trying to facilitate a discussion to take advantage of the offer
by BetteRose Ryan (the Convention Committee Chair). 

I think it would probably be helpful for people to answer the question, "If
the LNC meeting was in Denver, and if there was an all-day Friday training
about the convention, would you attend?" (That would mean you probably need
to arrive Thursday night or else real early Friday a.m.)

While it's possible a dozen or more people (LNC & non-LNC) might attend that
kind of training, it's conceivable that as few as 3 or 4 would. I encourage
you to speak up quickly so we can give good feedback to BetteRose on whether
you would attend something that Friday.

I do not plan to attend the August meeting due to the eclipse event in
Kentucky that weekend.  They're expecting 700,000+ people to be coming into
KY for it.  It's going to be huge.

I think some are missing the point that BetteRose lives in Denver.  If we
would like her knowledge without imposing cost and hassle to her,  Denver it
would be.

Wes,

Both suggested national convention training seminar schedules work for me
with a slight preference for Friday.

Denver, Tucson and Phoenix would be good locations for the next LNC meeting.
I would add to the mix Sedona, Albuquerque, Omaha, Minneapolis, Kansas City,
Chicago and Des Moines.

I submit the following motion for consideration - feel free to reword as
appropriate:

Select the top three [or five] locations for each LNC meeting using approval
voting. Use subsequent location logistics research by LNC staff and chair
recommendations as the basis for a final round of approval voting. The last
LNC meeting before an LP national convention and the LNC meeting immediately
following an LP national convention are exempted from the approval voting
location selection process.

Thoughts?

BetteRose Ryan (copied on this note) would like to provide

weekend training seminar about how to put on a national

convention. Some of the information would be relevant to states as

well. I suggested trying to combine it with an LNC meeting since

many LNC members are likely to be involved in national convention

planning. I also suggested fitting it into a single day, and doing

it either all day the Friday of the LNC meeting, or on the Sunday

following, from 2 PM to 9 PM. 

Would you all consider having the meeting in Denver so BetteRose

and perhaps her sister could conduct that training without

incurring travel costs? She said she could do it in Phoenix or

Tucson as well.

I'm completely flexible and not wanting to impose where not

wanted. I'm just trying to facilitate here.

Dear LNC members,

Many of us are in the midst of planning our summers and I

think it is time

that we take up the issue of where to have our meeting

scheduled for August 19-20, 2017.

I'm in favor of moving west for this one.  Let's get the

ball rolling with suggestions of locations and sites so we can

narrow it down over the next couple weeks and perhaps have a

decision done by our April meeting.

Thanks and 

Live Free,
