Yes, the LNC-EC voted to have the meeting in Phoenix. <br>
<br>
The hotel in the Helms Briscoe proposal has rooms for $189 per
night, plus $20 per night resort fee. Plus tax.<br>
<br>
There is a 32 room-night (could be 16 rooms 2 night each) mandatory
minimum if I read the proposal right. You pay penalties if we don't
make it.<br>
<br>
We are about to ask Helms Briscoe to book it.<br>
<br>
I just want to make sure most of you plan to stay at the hotel so we
meet our mandatory minimum. <br>
<br>
If not, please speak up. If so, speak up. We need to see if 14 of
you will book rooms for 2 nights. Two rooms will be booked for
staff.<br>
<br>
It might be worth it for Kevin Ludlow to set up a poll to see who
agrees to stay at the hotel, and if there is going to be a large
penalty, then we locate alternatives. I respect Mr. Ludlow's
preference not to use cost as a factor in choosing hotel locations,
but the party will have to pay the penalties if enough of you don't
stay at the hotel (unless other LNC members agree to pay the penalty
if we don't meet the minimum). <br>
<br>
Barring obvious clear opposition, Friday (tomorrow) morning 1/8/2016
we will have Helms Briscoe initiate the contract prep and signing
for the Arizona Grand Hotel. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<div>I'll have the EC minutes out soon, but for
those of you anxious to book flights for the Feb
20-21 LNC meeting, the Executive Committee decided
to break the stalemate on the question and voted
to have the meeting in Phoenix.<br>

<div>Now you can book flights.<br>
