<div>The only plausible reason people would be so keen to define this… well, Ill leave this up for discussion. ;-)</div>

<div dir="auto" class="">I have listed below 11 key lessons we could borrow from the previous lobbying efforts in the first round.</div>
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class="" /></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">They are:
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class="" /></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">1. Find out the political reasons behind the bill</div>
<div dir="auto" class=""> --- there is always a few and they are the only ones that matter.</div>
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class="" /></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">2. Work with the mover and chairs very very closely but don't forget the researchers, committee members and support staff.</div>
<div dir="auto" class="">---major influences oftenly ignored to the peril of many.</div>
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class="" /></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">3. Lobby both one on one and committee. </div>
<div dir="auto" class="">---The members are smart human beings with personal views and positions that may not surface in group hearings for political and other reasons. </div>
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class="" /></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">---The one on one's give a view into the undercurrents and nuances in the committee proceedings preparing us not to react but respond effectively.</div>
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class="" /></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">4. Have a unified agenda and scenarios for both the fundamentals and specifics.</div>
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class="" /></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">--generalities and differences only serve to make the point that we are disorganised and don't know what we want. </div>
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class="" /></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">5. Give specific line by line recommendations. </div>
<div dir="auto" class="">--It easier to negotiate specifics</div>
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class="" /></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">6. Educate the committee members about implications of each clause. </div>
<div dir="auto" class="">--don't assume they know and or connect with your views and context. </div>
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class="" /></div>
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class="" /></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">7. This is going to be a hard, rough and windy road thus plan for both the best and worst outcomes. </div>
<div dir="auto" class="">--Frastration is a key strategy in the making of sausages that lawmaking is. </div>
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class="" /></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">8. That even within the sector we will detractors, armchair critics and lone ranger self seekers.</div>
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class="" /></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">---not everyone is saying what they mean and not few things are what they seem to be. </div>
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class="" /></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">10. Focus on what people really need beyond what what they seem to seek. </div>
<div dir="auto" class=""> -- Be open to giving more than you expect to give and take much less than you bargain for. </div>
