Also, would you care to second this motion? Whereas Tom Frenaye, K1KI, is commended for over 30 years of service to amateur radio serving as a leader in his community, ARRL division and nationwide. Whereas Tom Frenaye, K1KI, has tirelessly served, since 1985, as an ARRL employee, director and vice president on the Board of Directors and President of the ARRL Foundation. Moved Tom Frenaye, K1KI, be elevated to the position of Director Emeritus Award guidelines from Director's Workbook. http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Director's%20Workbook/Section%2012.pdf 73, Matt Holden KØBBC Director, Dakota Division, American Radio Relay League Director, Association of Emergency Radio Organizations Deputy Director, Bloomington AUXCOMM

[arrl-odv:27891] 30 day notice to amend articles
by Michel, Howard, WB2ITX (CEO) 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

Dear Officers, Directors, and Vice Directors, Regarding motion EC-1 to amend the Articles of Association: Article 10 of ARRL's Articles of Association specifies "These articles may be amended by a three-fourths vote of all Directors, or, provided due notice of the proposed amendment shall have been placed in the mail to each Director at least thirty days in advance, by a two-thirds vote of all Directors." The 2/3 vs 3/4 is equivalent to 10 vs 12, a two vote difference, required to pass the motion. (Further in that section, "Notices shall be sent by First-Class mail or electronic mail to the last known address to each Director.") To satisfy the 30-day notification requirement, Dan Henderson sent notice to ODV on November 12, 2018. I was concerned that new Directors had not received the notice 30 days in advance. I asked Connecticut counsel for an opinion. His opinion is that by notifying the Board that existed 30 days prior to the vote, we had satisfied the requirement, and a 2/3 vote is required to pass the motion. "Absent explicit language in the Articles of Association or Bylaws, or a consistent and uniform course of conduct (which would arguably "fill the gap" of a silence in the Bylaws and/or Articles), addressing the scenario of a new director joining the Board during a notice period I think the reasonable approach is that the 30 days advance notice apply only to directors serving on the Board when the notice is initially provided. In other words, a new director who joins after notice is provided does not re-set the 30 day clock." I would suggest that the Board accept, or reject this opinion well prior to voting on the EC-1 motion and establish whether 2/3 or 3/4 vote is required to pass the any such motions. The action taken here, unrelated to EC-1, could be argued as establishing a "course of conduct" for future situations. 73, Howard, WB2ITX -- Howard E. Michel, WB2ITX Chief Executive Officer ARRL, The National Association for Amateur Radio™ 225 Main Street, Newington, CT 06111-1494 USA Telephone: +1 860-594-0404 email: hmichel(a)arrl.org<mailto:hmichel@arrl.org>
