I do count it as a privilege to be included in LEGO's internal affairs.  This
weekend meetings and social time was an incredible gift from LEGO to each one

us.

A gift?  Please.

LEGO got just as much, if not more, out of having you lot up there.  Otherwise,
they wouldn't have bothered.

I haven't been nosey enough to ask about travel and boarding expenses.  It
would be a bit shocking to me to find out that LEGO picked up the tab, however.

In any event, this was not a "gift".  They traded whatever they gave you for
what you gave them- which is invaluable information for figuring out where
their business is going to go.

Frankly, even if they did pay your room and board, in my mind you would have
done well to ask for a consultant's fee as well, and made *them* sign NDAs
about the direction that the LDraw community is going to go in.
