<div dir="ltr">I'm not voting, but I agree that I couldn't make sense of F&B minimums without some idea of what we're getting for that price, as an example. Does it make sense to go 20% higher than past performance? Probably not, in my view - but if we're going to, for instance, increase the cost and price of the banquet - and we have 2018 data showing we can still sell - then I could see it. But I'd need to know what we're buying for that money to know if it makes sense or not. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Joshua A.

To pretend that large factors of cost to the LNC or the delegates are the equivalent of a trivial Coke/Pepsi joke is disingenuous. Some of these data points were also never available to the COC, either. The COC can make many early site cuts without every piece of data because some hotels fail on some significant and basic aspect. Once you get to the finalists, you need the finer data to make finer distinctions between somewhat similar offerings.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br></font></span></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">-Alicia<br><br><div><br></div></font></span></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Dec 10, 2017 at 5:54 AM, Robert S.

All,<br>
<br>
As others have said the COC had access to the minutia of details
when looking at over 150 proposals & please have faith they took
into consideration what each member found to be what they considered
important. these types of details you yourself will see in the full
proposals that the hotels have or will present to you today.<br>
<br>
They had also been available to those who contacted Daniel for
confidential links to those full reports.<br>
<br>
The hotel reps will each have plenty of time to answer questions
from you all so after their presentation & after seeing their
hand outs, if there is something you find you still need to know,
ask.<br>
<br>
The spreadsheets the COC were working from had far more detail then
the summary provided to you. <br>
<br>
In the past members of the LNC wanted to know things like if the
venue was a "Coke" or "Pepsi" facility or how many urinals were in
the closest bathroom to the business session. I regret to tell you
all I failed to provide those details to the COC.<br>
<br>
But if anyone needs to know, please fell free to ask the hotel rep.<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>

<pre>All,
This is the site comparison chart Robert assembled. It was in the COC report but her it is for easy comparison.
