[arrl-odv:14750] New ITU Secretary-General Elected
by Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

The news from the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference in Antalya, Turkey today is that Hamadoun Touré of Mali has been elected Secretary-General. There were six candidates. He was elected on the third ballot. This is good news for the IARU and amateur radio. Mr. Touré has headed the ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau for the past 8 years (2 terms) and in my opinion is the first successful Director of the BDT (its abbreviation in French) since it was founded. He has been very supportive of the IARU Amateur Radio Administration Courses and of the role of the Amateur Service in emergency and disaster response communications. Rick Lindquist is putting together a story for the Web and the ARRL Letter. Dave K1ZZ

RE: Board Participation in Development Program
by Kay Craigie 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

A close friend of mine with considerable expertise in the field was once invited to join the board of a historical house museum in Philadelphia. He asked if he was being invited to join the board because he knew a lot about historical house museums or because he had a lot of money. The answer was "because you have a lot of money," and he declined the invitation. The boards of most non-profit organizations our size are chosen by management mostly for their deep pockets and their personal relationships with a lot of other people who also have deep pockets. If the board members happen to have any expertise in the subject area of the organization, that's very nice, but it isn't usually why they are invited to serve on the board. Their job is heavily geared to fundraising, so they need to be couth, well-connected, and rich. Our Board is elected by members, not appointed by management, and personal wealth doesn't come into it. Historically our Board has been expected to donate time and brainpower, not money. We are still working on integrating philanthropy into the culture of our Board. What all this adds up to is a Board which can be hard for sources of big-bucks funding to "get." It is a fact that funding sources expect an organization's board to be 100% donors, or big question marks come up in their minds. Mary can explain our different governance and history until she drops but if the funding sources perceive this as an excuse and continue to compare us to organizations where 100% of the board are donors, then the ARRL loses out. Can we afford to miss out on funds for programs and projects? No member of the Board knows how much any other Board member donates. That's entirely private. If you can afford $5, then give $5 and don't be embarrassed about it. Thanks for the use of the soapbox and 73 - Kay N3KN

Board Participation in Development Program
by Joel Harrison 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Officer, Directors and Vice Directors, As you know from previous years, we regard 100% annual participation by the ARRL Board in the Development Program as essential. It's a question Mary is often asked by potential major donors and grantors, and anything less than 100% participation is viewed negatively by some. A number of you have contributed this year and I thank you. Unfortunately, we're below the 100% mark and the year is fast drawing to a close. Please check in to this and make a contribution. We've never, nor do I intend to, set an amount that each person should contribute and Mary has never been asked what a board member's contribution is and won't be. What is important is that we all contribute to the extent possible based on our personal situation so we can once again, this year, set an example for our other donors and potential donors. Please contact Mary if you have any questions about your contribution status for the year. 73 Joel W5ZN

[arrl-odv:14746] Memo from John Chwat re 110th Congress
by Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

John Chwat has provided the following insights. Dave Just some observations relating to the elections, the organizing and start of the 110th Congress based on my 35 plus years of experience. I have been thru many changes in the Congress over the year, going back to the 1973 new Democratic "wave", the divided government between Reagan and the Democratic Congress in the 1980's and, of course the 1994 Republican "wave." I did serve in the 1970's as a chief of staff to two, southern Democratic Congressmen. We have over the years always maintained good contacts with our friends on the Democratic side in both the House and Senate, and we are already "positioning" impacts on present staffs in DC as well as key introductions to the new members and staffs for the new majority. The most important feature of the next several years on what seems to the public as "divided government" or "gridlock government" is that the Federal Departments and Agencies through the White House are controlled in large part by GOP appointees and the GOP WH. The tendency will be for the new "minority" members and staffs in both the House and the Senate to form a conduit for policy, legislation and contacts to the government and WH, in addition to being "responsive" to Democratic majority funding or oversight committees. Therefore, the GOP are still in control of the government, that is important. The second most important feature of the next several years is that most of the new Democratic members and staffs were not on Capitol Hill pre-1994 and do not remember when the Democrats where in power all of those years. These new subcommittee, committee and individual member staffs will be anxious to hear presentations from organizations and on issues that they could support. With this turnover there is great opportunity at the grassroots to influence new policymakers and new legislative outlooks for the 110th Congress. Finally, it is critical to impact the new House and Senate members early-on in the process-from now until early February-targeting their being back in the State and District during the holiday seasons, contacting them in this transition period and positioning contacts to follow-up as we suggest during the session. The following are key items for us to keep in mind as we approach 2007: * The calendar in the next two months, excluding the holiday seasons, has an active Winter period: * November 13 (Monday) Congress reconvenes for a "lame-duck" session. "Might last beyond November 17 into December. * November 16 (Thursday) Democratic House Leadership elections for 110th Congress * November 17 (Friday) Scheduled date for Republican House Leadership elections for 110th Congress * November 17 (Friday) Expiration date for a "Continuing Resolution (CR)" funding the government (non-DoD) from Oct 1st-options include approving pending conference appropriations FY08 bills or pass another CR into an unspecified date (One year we had ten or twelve CR's...the FY07 funding bills could also be held over to January to complete (this was done in 2002) or an Omnibus could be put together for a mid-December up or down vote. * November 13-17 Senate leadership elections for 110th Congress * November 13-30 New Members (GOP and Dems over 35 as of today) begin coming to DC, meet leaders, choose staff, also come in December * January 3 (Wednesday) Swearing in of the 110th Congress * The working majority for the Democrats in the House, now at 11 seats (could be more after recounts(229 to 196 with 10 recounts) and in the senate 1 vote (if VA goes Democratic which it seems as of today it will/ 51 to 49) signifies some observations: o The Democrats in the Senate do not have a 60-vote majority for cloture and certainly not 66 votes for Presidential Veto overrides (which also need 2/3 in the House which is 287 votes-with Democrats falling short there as well) which makes a working relationship with the GOP White House and GOP members very important; o The Democrats in the Senate have not yet negotiated Committee ratios, but based on the close nature of the party split, there still is a sizeable block of GOP Senators will engage on legislation during 2007; o The House majority is also slim providing for coalition building with "like-minded" democrats on issues and bills. * Democrats will tend to pursue legislation through the process-subcommittee, committee, floor signifying a more traditional opportunity to engage with them during the process; * Democrats will also tend to be mindful of the more moderate views of 30 plus House members who are from districts that are very marginally democratic with an eye to 2008. These Democrats will tend to be more receptive to GOP working relationships if they can be generated. * The selection of Committee assignments by Republicans and Democrats will take place in the next 90 days. Full subcommittee and committee memberships will not be final until mid-to-late January. There are also many significant "maneuverings" by present members to obtain "slots" on existing key committees provided the ratios are worked out soon by both party leaders. For example, The Senate Finance Committee may have an opening for one GOP member (Sen. Voinovich (R-OH) has expressed great interest to the new Minority Leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell(R-KY) on this-Democrats have an opportunity on the Senate Appropriations Committee to include Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) or if more than one seat will be available, Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) both of whom have expressed interest at being appointed by leadership. For the key committees of jurisdiction related to our FCC efforts, the following House members (incumbents) from the House Energy and Commerce Committee will not be returning to the 110th Congress: Rep.Bilirakis(R-FL), Rep.Bass(R-NH), Rep.Otter(R-ID), Rep.Brown(D-OH), Rep.Strickland(D-OH) and Rep.Davis(D-FL). All of the members of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee will return with the exception of recent defeated Senate members Sen.Burns(R-MT) and Sen.Allen(R-VA), who has yet to concede as of this afternoon.

The follow up letter has been posted on the ARRL website and Marketing Manager Bob Inderbitzen and Web Development Manager Jon Bloom have implemented a banner on the ARRL Home Page that will be up for the next two weeks. With the support and advice of Membership Services Manager Wayne Mills, grant proposals have been developed for two Amateur Radio Foundations - the Yams Foundation and NED - requesting five year financial commitments to support the continuing development of Logbook. The total of the two requests if $100,000 over 5 years. Decisions are expected by year end. In addition to these proposals, Yasme Foundation has committed to a 2006 contribution of $45,000 to ARRL and the ARRL Foundation to continue the five Yasme Foundation Scholarships as well as to support the ARRL Historic Preservation Fund and the Education & Technology Fund. Development is working with membership on the development of the on-line membership/Diamond Club membership form. The number of web contributions coming in from the web has been increasing in the last two years, and those contributions are among the most generous. This new on-line presence should boost Diamond Club participation. Two contributions totaling $11,000 have been received from donors who fit the criteria for the IRA distribution clause in the Pension Protection Act of 2006. Two additional oral commitments have been made but proceeds not received at this writing. A donor from AZ is the newest donor to qualify for the ARRL Maxim Society, with a single donation of $10,000 last week.

He also handled some evening phone sales calls in the daily 5 PM to 8 PM time slots. Joe installed three (3) brand new PCs in Visitor Studio Two. This included installing software for APRS, WL2K programs, satellite tracking, visitor logging, etc. He installed one of the older PCs in the upstairs conference room so there can be Internet access, in addition to any future BPL testing that may occur. Joe also began working with a program called WinDRM. This program is used to send digital voice and data over HF using a form of DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale). Information can be found on HYPERLINK "http://n1su.com/windrm/" \o "http://n1su.com/windrm/" http://n1su.com/windrm/. Field & Educational Services Field Organization/Public Service Team Chuck Skolaut compiled and forwarded the monthly ARRL Monitoring System report to the IARU Region 2 coordinator. Information was collected regarding ARES involvement with the California wildfires. Unidentified CW signals were noted both on 40 and 75 meters, and monitoring of these signals continues. Official Observers are assisting the FCC by monitoring 75 meters in California, and requested information (provided by a Georgia OO) was forwarded to the FCC. Steve Ford was able to assist with an FCC request we received to aid in identifying a station on 30 meters. A report of an Over the Horizon Radar signal on 75 meters as well as interference from a foreign shortwave jammer to an early-morning weather net has been received from Wisconsin. Leona Adams has been updating the Field Organization Database with new appointments, cancellations and changes in preparation for producing the Field Organization Appointment Report for each Section Manager. Fifteen new appointments were added to the data base, and initial supply packages were sent out. The QST notice for the next cycle of Section Manager nominations has been submitted for January QST. The 2006 Simulated Emergency Test results are now arriving, and Steve Ewald has heard that more local or section-wide ARES teams are planning to hold their exercises during the remaining portion of this Fall season. Reactions, questions and comments about the new American Red Cross background check policies continue to be discussed among the Field Organization Leaders, appointees, and ARES members. ARISS PR: Rosalie composed a news release (that garnered several news stories) about NASA requesting the ARISS Team to go on stand-by when Russian flight controllers had difficulty docking the Progress rocket to the ISS. The 9 ARISS operators impressed NASA at how quickly (in 15 minutes) they were ready. This type of assistance to NASA by ARISS should help us get approval on plans we develop for NASAs future in the Moon, Mars and Beyond program. ARISS News Update: ISS schedulers have had problems scheduling school QSOs while they are planning a sleep-shifting schedule for the crew. For ARRL Members: When a third ISS crew member (Sunita Williams, KD5PLB) is launched in January, we expect to have two or three school QSOs a month. ARISS Effect on Students: Rosalie began working with Johnson Space Center on education plans for SuitSat-2. International Aspects: A training meeting will take place in Houston this week between the Russian ARISS Team and the Johnson Space Center ARISS Team. Regulatory Information We worked with the Wisconsin Section manager trying to assist three handicapped amateurs who are experiencing problems with building management over reported RFI issues leading to threats of eviction of the three. We received information that the FCC is looking for comments on a proposal to expand medical equipment access to the 440 MHz band in Docket 06-135. This was forwarded to Chris Imlay. We had a request from Kenneth Ransom, with the Johnson Space Center who works with the ARISS project, and did some checking as to possible changes in the third-party agreements with a couple of countries that would facilitate greater opportunities for ARISS contacts. We also handled the usual array of queries about 04-140, 05-235, international operating requirements and license renewals. Amateur Radio Education & Technology ProgramMark Spencer A total of 19 ETP grant applications were received by the November 1st deadline. At first blush, the quality of the applications and the programs proposed are much improved and indicates that the program continues to mature. A substantial number of the applications come from graduates of the teachers institutes. Review of the applications will be completed next week and my recommendations sent on to the ARRL Board for their review by mid month. I have completed the construction of the 100 copies of the 5-building blocks activity boards that will be used in the TI. Parts for the next board to be constructed (the TV remote board) are on hand and the circuit boards are ordered. Construction will begin in mid November. This paradigm shift in handling the activity boards is fun, but at times can be tedious (at least I know the boards are fully functioning and tested before they get into the hands of the teachers). Parallax has graciously agreed to host a west coast TI again next year. Three other TI sessions will be held at HQ. A draft article on announcing the 2007 TI schedule has been sent to the QST editors. The TI 2007 schedule has also been sent to Fresno Pacific University for inclusion in their course catalog (this is the university that gives graduate level credit for completing the TI). I drafted a curriculum and designed and tested a simple circuit to demonstrate RFID technology. This will be added to the TI curriculum in 2007. Volunteer Examiner Coordinator We have processed 1,278 vanity renewals for members since we began offering this vanity license renewal service in May of this year. This is in addition to the 4,239 non-vanity license renewals and license changes we have processed for members. We've receive many emails and phone calls and have seen numerous notes attached to the renewal forms thanking us for making the license renewal process so easy! We've also collected 44 donations this year from appreciative members who thought our license renewal information was simple and straightforward. The license renewal form is automatically mailed to the member. It is completed by us with the exception of the members' SS#, their signature and the date signed.
