Registration requirements should be met before solicitations have been made if there is an effort to solicit in another state. We agree with Putnam Barber's assertion that an organization finds itself unnecessarily penalized if they get a generous contribution that is a complete surprise. Again, results alone should not be used to define whether an organization has to register in a particular state when it never intended to get contributions from that other state. Results should not give cause for registration, only intent and targeting. Again, standards should be clear and consistent and apply to everybody.
Standards can be results based if they are uniform and subject to reciprocity.
The examples given appear arbitrary and the amounts involved have different significance among organizations as well as states.
