Dick, As previously mentioned Thursday evening has been scheduled for the WRC-07/IARU presentation by IVP Stafford and IARU President Price. The purpose of this agenda item is not necessarily to take some formal action, although that could be a result in the subsequent Director motions, but rather to use the consent agenda's purpose in freeing up time from "routine reports" so the time can be better utilized to discuss important topics like this one, therefore its purpose is to provide that discussion period during the meeting. 73 Joel -----Original Message----- From: dick(a)pobox.com [mailto:dick@pobox.com] Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 1:44 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:13482] Re: Draft Agenda, 2006 Annual Board Meeting 9 JAN, 2006 - 1330 CST I agree that Discussion of HF Bandplanning should be added on our January 2006 agenda at the suggested insertion point. If some of you think this discussion will take an inordinate amount of time, perhaps preparation for this agenda item should would be a Thursday evening informal discussion after dinner? 73 - Dick, W9GIG

Thursday evening will be devoted to two presentations on the IARU: a general overview by IAVP Stafford and one on WRC-07 by IARU President Price. See Minute 8.2, EC minutes, October 22, 2005: 8.2. On motion of Mr. Butler it was agreed to extend an invitation to IARU President Larry E. Price, W4RA, to brief the Board on preparations for the 2007 World Radiocommunication Conference prior to the January 2006 Meeting. Mr. Stafford will provide an overview of the IARU at the same time. I'm confident there will be ample time for a useful discussion of how to conduct HF band planning during the course of the Board meeting.

Thanks to all for their help and comments. I got through to the URL on the first try, only a moment ago. I'm sure it was as Andy said. I'll try to remember not to expect access to some sites on Sunday nights!

I agree with this addition. I thought we were going to do it prior to the filing; however, we can't go back now. Jim K9JF

[arrl-odv:13477] Board Meeting Agenda Item
by Joel Harrison 09 Jan '06

09 Jan '06

Greetings, The Officers; President Haynie, Vice President Craigie, Vice President Stafford, Executive Vice President Sumner, and I have discussed the upcoming board meeting draft agenda. We propose to insert between #8 and #9 "Discussion of HF Bandplanning" We submitted our petition for regulation by bandwidth instead of mode on the assumption that we would have good band planning mechanisms in place by the time the FCC took any action, but haven't yet begun the process. We believe it is imperative that, before simply appointing a committee to address the matter, the board should have adequate time to discuss and review options in this area. It's going to be a difficult and controversial subject, and providing adequate time for the board to address all of our own questions and concerns is imperative. This is a unanimous proposal to the draft agenda from the Officers. While some have mentioned a desire to discuss the Strategic Plan that was developed a little over two years ago, and the board can certainly do so at this meeting if it chooses, we believe the 2006 Executive Committee that has the task of "Monitoring progress of the implementation of, and suggesting ongoing revisions to, the ARRL Strategic Plan, working in conjunction with Standing Committees as appropriate" should be given an opportunity to take a hard look at the Strategic Plan at its spring meeting and bring further recommendations to the board at the 2006 Second Meeting in July. 73 Joel W5ZN First Vice President

I can confirm that it wasn't working last night (or very early this morning depending on your time zone). Sunday nights are typical times for running server backups, so I think it's likely that the server was down for a time overnight. -- Andy Oppel, N6AJO At 06:53 AM 1/9/2006, you wrote: >Bob, I just double checked and it works for me. > >Alternatively, go to ><http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/comsrch_v2.cgi>http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/comsrch_v2.cgi >and enter "RM-11306" in the "Proceeding" window of the search form. > >Dave >-----Original Message----- >From: Bob Vallio [mailto:rbvallio@gmail.com] >Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 2:37 AM >To: arrl-odv >Subject: Bandwidth petition of public notice > >My tries at viewing the subject URL results in a server error.
