    On a scale of 1 to 100 for this upcoming meeting, I rate OKC an 82,
    and Phoenix a 79. My point being that they both have plenty of pros
    and cons and it doesn't matter to me much which is picked between
    the two.<br>
    <br>
    The online voting is running neck and neck right now.<br>
    <br>
    If the LNC-EC votes on this tonight, based on their individual
    preferences expressed so far, I think they'd pick Phoenix by a
    one-point margin.<br>
    <br>
    I think we could all live with that, but if they pick OKC, I think
    we could all live with that too. So, I'm hoping they pick it
    tonight. <br><span class="">

      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>
