[Lnc-business] LP Presidential Debates c/o Arvin Vohra

[Lauren Daugherty]

In response to Tim's question: this could take a lot of staff time. It 
is difficult to predict because we don't know how many such debates 
there might be. I am indeed concerned about staff time. Our workload is 
going to increase by orders of magnitude on into 2020.

On a slightly different note, if the quality on any of the debates is 
bad (bad quality audio, bad quality video, etc), guess who will get 
blamed by a lot of folks: staff. Even if we make it clear that a given 
debate was hosted by some other entity, LP staff will get blamed if the 
execution is less than excellent. And then we'll get emails from folks 
canceling their memberships etc because they think we are not running a 
polished, quality operation.
