      well as comments from our Treasurer in another email, and after
      further consideration myself, I do plan to make some changes to
      the labeling and amounts on the contribution pages provided we
      don't run into major technical hurdles.<br>
      <br>
      I'll let you know when we're ready to have one of you make sure
      the $15,000 and $25,000 contribution levels work on the website.<br>

      Thanks,<br>

            create and grant additional benefits to existing levels of
            association (“Staff shall have the discretion to create and
            bestow additional benefits.”).  To create additional or
            different levels of association, however, requires a change

        <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Back in 2010,
            dues payments (not contributions) were what established
            association levels in the Policy Manual.  Dues payments were
            typically received in response to a renewal request during
            the Renewal Period.  (As defined in the Policy Manual,
            “Renewal Period” for an individual is the period commencing
            with the first membership renewal appeal sent to that

        <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">However, the

            pledgers.  To accommodate these loyal donors and not have
            their benefits lapse do to a lack of a dues payment, the
            following language was included:  “Individuals pledging at
            least $10 per month using an automated recurring payment
            method, such as a valid credit card or ACH debit, shall have
            their benefits lapse dates extended to the last day of the
            following December.” That language was designed to make it
            easier for staff to administer the pledge program; it did
            not create a new level of association.  That language did
            not change in 2011.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Some of the
            updates made in 2011 created internal consistency issues. 
            For example, the new language adopted by the LNC concerning
            the association levels specifies contributions (not just
            dues) be included for measuring whether an individual has
            achieved an association level; however, the following
            language was not updated at the time of the change: “Other
            contributions in response to other than a membership renewal
            appeal shall not as a policy extend the benefits lapse date,
            however Staff shall have the discretion on a case-by-case
            basis to extend a contributor’s benefits lapse date up to
            one year from the last contribution date, if failure to do
            so would damage donor relations.”  It is difficult when such
            language conflicts arise.  I can certainly empathize with
            your position.  You may want to suggest some clean-up

            <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Dear Kevin
              Knedler, Aaron Starr, and the LNC:<br>
              <br>
              I'd like to get our publications in line with the new
              membership plans in the policy manual as soon as
              practical.<br>
              I think we came close months ago, but Mr. Knedler has
              pointed out some things he thinks may not be in
              compliance.<br>
              I think one of the things he may be right about, but some
              he may not be, or it is an area subject to interpretation.<br>
              <br>
              I've had some discussions with the APRC and Mr. Knedler
              about complying with the new membership policies, but
              discussions with the APRC have the feature of being
              confidential. Therefore, I'd like to do this in the open
              with the LNC to see if we can all get on the same page and
              in a manner that can be shared be referred back to and
              shared with others publicly as needed. <br>
              <br>
              Most of you probably don't need to spend your time or
              mental energy on this. However, I'm including the whole
              LNC because handling this more privately has resulted in
              people not being on the same page.<br>
              <br>
              I've copied Mr. Starr on this email because I believe he
              was a primary designer of some of the Policy Manual
              language for the prior membership plan clarifications
              adopted in the 2009-2010 time frame. Sometimes in the past
              when I would read the policy manual and make an
              interpretation, Mr. Starr held a different view and
              typically I found that the LNC was willing to go with Mr.
              Starr's interpretation as was I once I clearly understood
              what was intended. So I wanted to bring Mr. Starr into the
              conversation before issuing a request to a programmer to
              have our website updated. I'm guessing whatever changes
              are finally agreed upon won't cost a lot if I wait until
              we're all on the same page before making the changes. <br>
              <br>
              I'd like to finish updating our old website before working
              on our new website. <br>
              <br>
              Mr. Knedler's suggested corrections are in his email
              below. <br>
              <br>
              I've put my comments in red.<br>
              <br>
              Additionally, I'd like to put in a request to our
              secretary to see if she thinks she can re-write pages
              37-41 of our Policy Manual (without changing the meaning)
              to be more easily understood. I made an attempt to make
              the policy manual language more understandable on the
              website although I already know it's not complete, but to
              explain things completely gets really complicated:<br>
              here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
                href="https://www.lp.org/membership-levels">https://www.lp.org/membership-levels</a><br>
              <br>
              Since I know where Mr. Knedler stands, my preferred next
              step is to wait to see if Mr. Starr has specific
              recommendations on the things below.<br>
              <br>
              Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>

              <br>
              Neither has the $25,000, $15,000, or $2,500 options. I
              don't believe the Policy Manual language requires all
              association levels and amounts to be printed on all online
              donation forms. So I don't think we are required to put
              those amounts on either page. However, if I've interpreted
              the Policy Manual incorrectly, I will have those donation
              options added. Even if they are not required to be there,
              I'll add them if the Chair asks me to or if Aaron Starr
              and several on the LNC write to me that they think it's a
              good thing to do.<br>
              <br>
              I'll need the requests to state whether those donation
              levels belong on just the membership page, or also on the
              contribute page.<br>
              <br>
              There was a time in the past when contributions that were
              NOT in response to a renewal offer were not counted
              towards membership association levels. I think maybe they
              do count now with Mr. Knedlers new plan, but that's not
              clear (see next paragraph). We typically have NOT put
              membership levels on non membership contribution forms
              like this one <a moz-do-not-send="true"
                href="https://www.lp.org/contribute">https://www.lp.org/contribute</a>
              or on typical fundraising letters. <br>
              <br>
              Page 40 of the Policy Manual says (and I believe Mr. Starr
              was the original source of this) "Other contributions in
              response to other than a membership renewal appeal shall
              not as a policy extend the benefits lapse date, however
              Staff shall have the discretion on a case-by-case<br>
              basis to extend a contributor’s benefits lapse date up to
              one year from the last contribution date, if failure to do
              so would damage donor relations."<br>
              <br>
              I think our website is already too cluttered and our
              membership programs are too complicated, plus we're
              supposed to get a new website soon, so I'm not inclined to
              initiate an optional change that makes things more
              complicated and cluttered without clear support from the
              LNC.</span><span
