<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The attached has changes marked that I
plan to ask Eric to make to the membership page. I may do
something similar to the contribution page if Eric is able to
reprogram the membership page without major problems. <br>
<br>
I'm leaving off mentioning the "Torch Club" on that donation page.
I don't want to confuse people or slow them down by tying to
explain it on the donation page.<br>
<br>
I removed the popular $10 per month donation option, but people
can still do it in the "other" area.<br>
<br>
I'll wait 48 hours for comments before I submit this to Eric.<br>
<br>
Separately, my office has been named the "Henry David Thoreau
Center" by a previous generous donor to the building fund who gave
$32,400 in 2013. I haven't had time to hang the plaque yet, but
have received it here at the office. Thoreau once said "Simplify,
Simplify, Simplify" or something like that. <br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Based on Mr. Starr's comments below,
as 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>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The language
“The following levels of association are recognized by the
Party:” precedes an enumerated list of the levels of
association authorized by the LNC. It specifies the
levels recognized, and therefore no other levels may be
recognized. In contrast, staff is given much leeway to
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 be made to the Policy Manual. This limiting phrase
did not change after 2010.<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">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 individual until the receipt of a contribution
sufficient to extend that individual’s benefits lapse
date.) <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">However, the
LNC does not send renewal requests for dues to monthly
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
language. In the interim, when you do encounter a
conflict between existing language and new language, it is
proper to give more weight to the new language, as that is
more likely to be in line with the legislative intent of
the board that last decided the matter.<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">Does the
Policy Manual require that you put membership levels on
the website? It never occurred to me that staff would
need direction to do that. I suppose we don’t have to ask
for donations at all on the website, though I don’t
recommend that. It seems to me that the intent of the
authors would be to have all the options for association
marketed to potential donors in one manner or another. I
think you would run into some hot water if you promote
only some levels of association and not the others. To be
prudent, you should seek guidance from the LNC on that
question.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<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>

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

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New

Mr. Knedler wants me to remove the $10/month amounts
from <br>
here <a moz-do-not-send="true"

and here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
I disagree with Mr. Knedler's interpretation. I don't
think the policy manual prohibits offering $10/month
pledges. In fact, the policy manual on page acknowledges
the existance of $10/month pledges saying "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<br>
the last day of the following December."<br>
<br>
Plus, the $10/month amount is quite popular. I will not
remove those unless that is specifically ruled a
requirement by the APRC, or if the Chair or LNC directs
me to remove the $10 per month option. </span><span
