Oh sorry I forgot I would be the one to start a ballot!
I have fought with Starchild for two years on this. It is highly
prejudicial to female members of the party, and I personally am very
uncomfortable with a business meeting in these circumstances. *WE ARE THE
THIRD LARGEST POLITICAL PARTY IN THE COUNTRY.*
Let's not make this look reasonable.

Starchild sometimes just dismisses the concerns of others when he doesn't
understand them. I told him this so this criticism is no surprise.

It is very uncomfortable. And it is uncomfortable for business. You
never know what can come up. And sometimes things get heated. Where
do you storm off to? The back yard? I have never stormed off but it
has happened.
Absolutely not. What if someone gets ill? There are a WHOLE lot of
unforseens.
Hell even in CO we knew not to have board meetings at people's homes
for these reasons.

I believe many of these concerns are implicitly answered by

Tim, Starchild did mention wifi in his initial inquiry and
because Mr
Hancock did not explicitly state his capabilities, I will be
asking
this question.
Hotels in Arizona are fairly cheap, in general and provided you
aren't
looking for 5 star. I regularly am staying in one throughough the
Phoenix area and find the price range to be slightly better than
average when compared to traveling outside of the state. The
average

in Choice Brands and pay an average of $60 a night. I will
attempt to
find out the specific area and advise further. Remember, due to
temperatures, this is the tail end of our slow season.
The question of transport is fair, however, I note that many on
the LNC
will need to transport wherever we are meeting anyway. Whether
that is
from the airport to the hotel and we meet in the hotel or
something
else. If it could save our membership hundreds, if not thousands,
by
not renting out a space, I think it is worth at least a
consideration

Does the place have WiFi to live-stream the meeting? What are
the
room
rates for the hotels nearby or within walking distance?
