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>

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>

be able to come to a motion by the end of the day, one would

than our home cities for this particular meeting,
coordinating with people who are chomping at the bit to
finalize travel for their events in New England.</div>

spreadsheet on Oklahoma from Robert Kraus.<br>
<br>
In summary:<br>
1. Phoenix convention hotel will be $189 per night for
the sleeping rooms. Free meeting space. $1,000 food and
beverage minimum (so we'll probably do something like
pay for your lunch and coffee to reach that $1,000
minimum).<br>
<br>
2. OKC hotel will be $82 per night for sleeping rooms.
Free meeting space. Free breakfast. No Food and beverage
minimum.<br>
<br>
HOWEVER, Robert Kraus noted to me from his vacation
today in Miami that: "Also we do not have to hold the
meeting at the Phoenix locations to see them. We can
have the CVB send us a van to take us to the 2 locations
under consideration and stay at the Holiday Inn &
Suites Phoenix Airport North again for about $119-129 a
night. . "<br>
