Considering the financial cost of making a change, including costs to be incurred by both LNC and our state affiliates, I really do believe a <u>COMPELLING</u> graphic must be selected prior to LNC making the decision to change logos. Further, the final decision should be made during an in-person meeting with the final logo artwork having been presented. Also, LNC should not be rushed into making a decision regardless of whether an election season is upon us … and, regardless of whether the website upgrade is pending.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>For reference on the option to reinstate the original LP logo, Louisiana Calcasieu Party LP is making 1000 festival fans using the attached artwork. As you can see, to address space constraints, we merely cropped off the bottom portion of old logo: so, the bulk of our original lady liberty logo is present, but the shape is better for making festival fans.

It's dangerous. You can't pay attention to anything shown on the screen, and even the audio won't have your full attention because you're driving. Raising your hand, or voting, or trying to adjust your microphone is the equivalent of texting while driving, which could earn you a ticket (and no points from the Secretary, though other points could accrue on your license). You're much more likely to lose your connection as your signal is transferred from one cell tower to another. Etc.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>2) You should make arrangements to be in a reasonably quiet location with a decent-speed internet connection. If you have a slow connection (like a cell tower) the audio/video may cut in and out for you. Don't be in a bowling alley or a night club or a grocery store. Children should be supervised by someone else in another room. Barking dogs or other noise-producing pets should be put in another location where they won't be heard by the rest of us.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>3) USE YOUR HEADPHONES OR EARBUDS. I use the same earbuds I use with my iPod. You can buy a pair for $5 in lots of places. Not using headphones/earbuds will cause echoes for other participants because the sound coming out of your speakers will feed back in through your microphone and get re-transmitted. The echoes are very distracting and maddening.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>4) When this system is used with only a handful of people, participants can generally leave their microphones on and self-regulate if two people talk over each other. This meeting will be the largest we've ever used the system for, and I suspect it will be important for everyone to mute their microphones while they're not talking, and use the raise-hand feature to have the chair recognize you to speak, after which you can turn on your microphone.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>-Alicia<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>-----------------------------<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Meeting Name: Libertarian National Committee<br>When: 05/03/2015 6:00 PM Pacific / 9:00 PM Eastern<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Purpose: Discussion of Logo Redesign<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>To join the meeting:<br><a href="https://lp.adobeconnect.com/lnc/" target="_blank">https://lp.adobeconnect.com/lnc/</a><br><br>Audio Conference Details: If you join by computer/webcam at the link above, you do NOT also need to dial into this teleconference, which is a backup audio-only option.<br>Teleconference Number(s): <a href="tel:866-814-9555" target="_blank">866-814-9555</a><br>Conference Code: 7509417927<br><br>If you have never attended an Adobe Connect meeting before:<br><br>Test your connection: <a href="https://lp.adobeconnect.com/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm" target="_blank">https://lp.adobeconnect.com/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm</a><br><br>----------------<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
