Hi All - I'd like to see if anyone is willing to cosponsor the following motion: LNC meetings will be paid for as follows: LNC members who attend LNC meetings will each pay 1/18th of the cost of the meetings. This will include room costs, equipment costs, as well as staff costs. Costs will be determined by whatever accounting method yields the largest number. -Arvin
