    <p>Starchild, if the LNC showed a significant interest in meeting at
      free locations then I'd have Robert research more free locations
      and I could probably find a few myself. However, the LNC has not
      shown a significant interest in that.  In any case, it is always
      possible to meet on the top floor of the LPHQ for free if the LNC
      wants to do that and the LPHQ has the benefit of being easily
      accessible from a large airport. The top floor would of the LPHQ
      would be a bit crowded, but would work, and it feels significantly
      less claustrophobic than the basement, and certainly has better
      air flow and ambiance, albeit the air conditioner is a bit on the
      loud side. If it turned out to be nice weather, we could literally
      meet in the parking lot with plenty of space and set up folding
      tables and folding chairs. The parking lot is mostly empty on
      Saturdays--Sunday we'd need to set up before the church traffic
      arrives, but if we did, that would work fine. However, overhead
      projectors and laptops would be hard to see outside. <br>
    </p>
    <p>If the LNC were to show interest in meeting at least twice per
      year at LPHQ, I'd make an extra effort to reconfigure the office
      to make it at least a little more comfortable for those meetings.
      <br>
    </p>
    <p>LNC representatives from the west coast who feel it is unfair to
      have to go to the east coast all the time could, if the LNC
      approved, participate via adobe connect or conference call.</p>
    <p>Likewise, if at some point the LNC decides it prefers to meet
      without staff present, I'm pretty sure staff would be willing to
      miss the meetings, although I will say I've often noticed LNC
      discussions going in a sub-optimal direction based on not knowing
      certain details, and when I've raised my hand and been called on
      have provided additional information, that information has
      informed the LNC and resulted in different decisions than if I had
      not provided the info. <br>
    </p>
    <p> Our recent focus with LNC meetings has been to set up meetings
      with major donors. We raised a significant amount of money in
      Pittsburgh. If we cut out staff travel to LNC meetings, not as
      many of those fundraising meetings could happen as effectively. <br>
    </p>
    <p>In the mean time, if the someone comes up with a great free
      location for meetings that the rest of the LNC would support
      using, those suggestions should be sent to the LNC
      representatives.  The LNC picks the meeting locations, and staff
      will facilitate the LNC choices. <br>

                you Wes, the spreadsheet is very helpful! I was afraid

                catch-all categories, difficult to read, or otherwise
                requiring more follow-up, but this chart looks pretty
                clean and straightforward for the time period covered
                (2011 to 2014), although it does appear that a couple
                meetings which took place in 2013 are not included, as
                only one meeting is listed for that year. Nevertheless,
                this is substantially what I was looking for. It does
                raise a question in my mind though of why Robert
                couldn't have sent me this document when I first asked
                him about meeting expense data, since it is several
                years old and not I presume something that was just
                created recently. But I won't dwell on that at this
                point. </div>

                of interest, <b>the total per meeting costs are higher
                  than I had been led to believe. The average cost of an
                  LNC meeting is listed as $4,844, whereas the number
                  Robert previously mentioned to me was $2,500 per
                  meeting.</b> Admittedly, he may not have been
                including some elements of the total cost, such as staff
                travel, in that lower figure. But not having any better
                data, I subsequently cited the $2500 number repeatedly
                as an overall per meeting cost estimate, I'm pretty sure
                both in meetings and via email, without him or anybody

                least one person telling me in conversation not during a
                meeting that they thought the cost was higher, but that
                might have been somebody not on the LNC). It appears
                that either the rest of the LNC has been as ignorant as
                myself of the real costs, or the misinformation of that

                conference rooms), and on the staff side (it seems to me
                that we shouldn't need to take more than one staff
                member, at most, away from the Alexandria office to fly
                them to a meeting and put them up in a hotel for the
                weekend, when the LNC can always have a staff member
                call in to the meeting if needed, as we often do with
                our attorney, our FEC consultant, and other individuals.
                Even if we paid a staff member two day's wages just to
                be "on call" for the weekend for when we might want to
                reach them by phone, the cost to the party would be
                considerably less than flying the person across the
                country and paying for a hotel room.</div>

                really more the cost data than the contracts that I'm
                after with regard to meeting room contracts. A hotel's
                "request" for "confidentiality" certainly doesn't sound
                like a legally binding condition of secrecy imposed upon
                us however (if they're <i>demanding</i> secrecy as a
                contract clause, we should be informed of that before
                signing, but that seems unlikely, and I think our
                standard negotiating position should be "we don't do
                secrecy"). In any case, contracts have sometimes been
                sent out to this public email list or disclosed during
                regular LNC meetings that are open to the public, so
                shouldn't normally require any kind of written contract
                to pass along. If a majority of the LNC feels a
                particular contract, or parts of it, should be kept
                secret, as with the 2016 contract with the Johnson/Weld
                campaign has been (until this September, if I recall
                correctly), it seems to me we can address that on a
                case-by-case basis. I do appreciate you sending the

                like to see it at some point in the next few months.
                Going further back, I'd also like to know if there are
                records of free meeting spaces that have been used for
                LNC meetings, and if so where they were. Of course

                    If I thought this information would be useful for an
                    upcoming decision, I'd make sure we bumped other
                    things back and moved this forward.<br>
                    <br>
                    Robert has kept a spreadsheet detailing the LNC
                    meeting costs. It's significantly out of date and
                    will take time to update.<br>
                    <br>
                    If I get a sense from a significant number on the
                    LNC that it is important enough for us to stop other
                    work and get that spreadsheet updated, we could
                    certainly do that.<br>
                    <br>
                    Or, if the LNC would be satisfied to get a list of
                    meetings from the past just to get a sense of the
                    costs, Robert has provided that and it's attached.<br>
                    <br>
                    I don't personally see much coming from providing
                    that information urgently, but again, we could
                    certainly get it done if it was a top priority.<br>
                    <br>
                    In general, staff has usually included in our
                    suggestions and research low-cost options like
                    Oklahoma and Alexandria, and the LNC has chosen
                    places that were not the lowest cost options staff
                    has provided. I point that out, because I want to
                    make it clear that, if the costs of LNC meetings is
                    your concern, I don't want our membership or the LNC
                    to think that staff requires expensive meetings. We
                    go with the flow of the LNC. Of the 5 to 10 times
                    I've suggested a specific location for an LNC
                    meeting, I don't think the LNC has taken my
                    suggestion. I don't mind. I've thought most of the
                    places we've had meetings were reasonably decided.<br>
                    <br>
                    I think Robert has shown many of the contracts to
                    you in person when you've visited LPHQ.<br>
                    <br>
                    I believe Robert has offered to email all the
                    contracts to you if you sign the standard
                    Non-Disclosure Agreement. I believe you have so far
                    chosen not to sign the non-disclosure agreement for
                    certain reasons that you're in a better situation to
                    explain than me. It's not a big deal to me
                    personally, just has been our practice related to
                    contracts.<br>
                    <br>
                    I don't think there's anything especially
                    interesting or "secret" in any of the contracts
                    we've had with hotels to have LNC meetings. Payments
                    to hotels can be found in detail on the FEC website.<br>
                    <br>
                    I think sometimes vendors offer "discounts" and
                    sometimes put in their contracts terms requesting
                    confidentiality, but I'm not going to go through and
                    dig up a bunch of contracts to see for myself unless
                    I get a sense from the LNC that that is what they
                    want staff to spend time on.<br>
                    <br>
                    If the LNC could pass a motion requesting staff to
                    provide all the LNC meeting contracts to Starchild
                    and other LNC members without requiring an NDA, I'd
                    feel more comfortable stopping other work and doing
                    that, and not requiring an NDA.<br>
                    <br>
                    We did not find the word "Confidential" in the
                    upcoming LNC meeting in Kansas City and New Orleans.
                    Those contract are attached.<br>
