[Lnc-business] Fwd: Koerner proposal

[Lauren Daugherty]

Hi everyone,

Robin and I talked multiple times between the Phoenix LNC meeting and 
the Alexandria LNC meeting.

I asked him for a proposal, based on the parameters Nick had asked for; 
Robin sent it. I offered it to LNC members and sent it to those who 
asked to see it. I then facilitated the conversation among LNC members 
about the proposal.

I summarized to Nick the feedback I'd received from LNC members. I asked 
Nick if he'd like to pursue a counter proposal. He asked me to ask the 
LNC members who had received the proposal if they had thoughts on what 
would be an appropriate counter offer. I did that, and relayed the 
results to Nick.

Nick said that given that there was no general consensus from the LNC 
about a counter offer, and since we were so close to the LNC meeting, 
that he did not want to make a counter offer at that time.

I told Robin that if there was a counter proposal or offer, I'd send it 
to him straight away. And I also told him very candidly, on multiple 
occasions, about the party's current financial situation. He said he 
understood.

It should also be noted that all of this was going on during the height 
of election season.
