[arrl-odv:18461] Web Site Launch Update
by Kramer, Harold, WJ1B 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hi, We are now planning for the new Web site to go live on Wednesday Feb 3. We originally said that we would launch at the end of January. This date not work particularly well because the end of January falls on a weekend (Friday 29/Sat 30/Sun 31) and HQ will not be fully staffed over the weekend to answer member questions or make corrections to the new Site. We will start the Beta testing to employees and the Board the end of this week. 73, Harold Harold Kramer, WJ1B Chief Operating Officer ARRL - The national association for Amateur Radio(tm) 225 Main Street Newington, CT 06111 Telephone: 860 594 0220 email: hkramer(a)arrl.org <mailto:hkramer@arrl.org> web: www.arrl.org/ <http://www.arrl.org/>

[arrl-odv:18458] Agenda item 8)a)i)
by Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

At its last meeting the Executive Committee decided to recommend a few changes to the ARRL Hamfest/Convention Rules and Regulations. The recommendation is based on a staff paper that I submitted at the time, and that the EC amended in the course of its discussion. The rationale for the recommended changes is as follows. In the course of preparing for the launch of the new Web site we have discovered that there are slightly different versions of the Hamfest/Convention Rules and Regulations extant. The differences are not substantive and it would be difficult to determine which is "correct" - and anyway, they are no longer entirely consistent with actual practice. Recommended amendments to the Hamfest/Convention Rules and Regulations are attached. Please note the following: 1. "Operating-Specialty" conventions have never been defined. We have made a modest attempt at providing a definition. 2. It has often been observed that it is anomalous to hold a both a state convention and a section convention in a state in which the state and the section are the same. Some Directors like to do it because it gives them a chance to approve more conventions. The Board has considered the question in the past and decided to make no change, but language is offered here in case the Board would like to consider it again. 3. While at one time Directors were involved in the financial planning of conventions, that is no longer a common practice. It seems unwise to say in our rules that conventions' financial plans are subject to approval by the Director (or in the case of a National Convention, the Executive Committee) if in fact we are not exercising oversight; it may create a liability if a convention encounters financial difficulty. The Executive Committee determined that the appropriate way to deal with this is to include "hold harmless" and "material adverse change" language in the application for sanction that the applicant signs. 4. The requirement for approval by both Directors in the case of a state convention in which two divisions are involved is moved from Paragraph 6 to paragraph 3.

I sent this report to Lisa last week to be reproduced for the BoD meeting books and apparently neglected to send it to "odv" for the benefit of those of you who might be interested in reading it. Sorry about that. Here it is in all its spendor! See you all in a few days. 73, Rod Amateur Radio W6ROD Photo Site: www.flickr.com/photos/rodstaffordphotography
