If you are creating a heavy workload, something is going on, and it should be registered. If it happens a lot and is not being registered, there is a problem.
You are right about the complexity of the process, and that is why we want to simplify things. The question of who started the conversation should not be relevant. Conversations about the weather should not be logged in the registry. However, if the person is asking for support for a $10,000 or $15,000 request, that is lobbying. If we had to determine whether the meeting in a lineup was arranged in advance or who started the conversation, that would make it complex. As soon as a lobbyist asks for something, it should be recorded in the registry, period. I hope that simplifies things.
