Well, the location right now is not an issue; it's the communication itself and whatever was discussed as to whether or not it would be considered lobbying.
Right now, if they're talking about getting a contract for an organization, that is not lobbying. From the perspective of the public office holder, I don't regulate that. I can only regulate lobbyists that are registered, and when I say “registered”, I mean those whose names appear on the registry. There's a gap there. Organizations and corporations do not need to register until they've met the significant part of the duties threshold, so there is a lot of communication that's happening that is not covered by the Lobbying Act right now. That needs to change.
