    Your welcome Brett. I see 4 votes already, so we're on our way to a
    resolution. Tonight at 10 PM we have an LNC-EC meeting. I don't know
    if it would be considered appropriate for one of the LNC-EC members
    to make a motion to pick a specific city based on the poll results.
    <br>
    <br>
    But just in case that does happen, I encourage people to express
    their preferences before 10 PM Eastern tonight. <br>
    <br>
    And many thanks to Kevin Ludlow for putting the polls together to
    help achieve consensus. <br>
