would try meeting Sunday in the basement of LPHQ. It will be a bit tight, but
it will work. Based on the experience, you may or may not decide to try it
again some day. For example, if you find the space just too cramped and too
small, you might not want to do it again. On the other hand, you may find that
for the price, it works fine and might work again in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=1 face=Arial><span style='font-size:9.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Due to our not having the meeting room at the hotel on
Sunday, I have been asked to try to complete the business by the end of the
Saturday session. Suggestions include starting at 8:30 am, having a
working lunch, and adjourning as late as 6:30 pm. I'm open to any or all
of these ideas, but will defer to the body if anyone has strong objections.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

was not able to find an affordable hotel on the <st1:State w:st="on">Virginia</st1:State>
side of the <st1:place w:st="on">Potomac River</st1:place> that had a suitable
meeting room for a 2 day meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>In any case - you can see that our Executive Director
wrote to us 2.5 months ago and told us this was an excellent chance to try out
the basement of LPHQ for an LNC Session. I think that is an excellent
suggestion, and I am surprised that the Chair is now suggesting that we attempt
to avoid trying out the basement of LPHQ as an LNC Session venue.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>I have no problem with one-day LNC Sessions <u>if</u> the
board, as whole, decides to do so. However, in the past such decisions
were made well in advance of the one-day LNC Session. This time, the
Chair is only giving us 10 days to figure out how to cram<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>11 hours of work into less than 8 hours of meeting
time. Plus – this deprives the LNC the chance to discuss something
on Saturday, and then decide to postpone it to Sunday to permit us to discuss
the matter informally with fellow LNC members on Saturday night, so that we can
make a more informed decision on Sunday.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>At this late date, I don’t think it is a good idea
to deprive our membership of good governance by trying to cram 1.6 days of
business into a marathon one-day session. Remember – if we have a “working
lunch”, that means being in the meeting room for 10 continuous hours with
only 2 or 3 15 minute breaks.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
