Thank you. I appreciate that.
Charities and non-profits are in-house. Even then, it's often not one dedicated staff member. It's very distinct. It's being done, often off the side of the desk, by the ED, by the fundraiser, by the program manager. That's when we really get into that challenge of the eight-hour threshold.
Do you want to make sure we have the clarity that the eight hours applies across anyone in the organization? That's the in-house distinction. The organization registers, and anyone on staff who is working...to meet that. That is when the eight hours starts to become quite limiting: when that ED goes to a consultation, when a staff member plans for a meeting, when someone is having a conversation around a grant.
It's just to reiterate that there is that distinction between the sustained lobbying that paid consultants do and the more incidental lobbying that some of those smaller charities and non-profits engage in.
