If a lobbyist arranges a meeting for other people to meet with a public office holder in order for those other people to lobby the public office holder, that is a “stand-alone” lobbying activity.

1. It is only a stand-alone lobbying activity that needs to be reported if a lobbyist arranged a meeting with a public office holder, on behalf of an individual other than, or in addition to, the lobbyist. 
2. If you (the lobbyist) arranged a meeting that only involves yourself and a senior public office holder, do not file a Lobbying Activity Report for having arranged the meeting. Just file a Lobbying Activity Report to report any lobbying that took place at the meeting itself. 
3. The meeting must be for the purpose of lobbying. If the meeting was not arranged for the purpose of lobbying, arranging it is not a lobbying activity that needs to be reported. 
4. A mere request for a meeting does not need to be reported. 
5. A meeting is not “arranged” until the request for a meeting has been accepted/some details are confirmed by the public office holder or their staff. 
6. The date for a Lobbying Activity Report to report having arranged the meeting is the date the senior public office holder accepted the request for a meeting and some of the details are confirmed. 
7. For administrative support staff who are not lobbyists: if you are not a lobbyist, scheduling a meeting between a lobbyist and a public office holder does not make you a lobbyist and you do not need to report having arranged (scheduled) the meeting.
