by Kermit Carlson 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Greetings, Please find attached the minutes from the secondmeeting of the ARRL CEO Search Committee which washeld on February 6th. The minutes do containthe CEO Job Description (Appendix #2) with the pages watermarked as "ARRL Board Confidential - Draft". Please treat this CEO Job Description document as Board Confidential information. To protect the integrity of the CEO Search process we do need insure that only the proper version of this document is distributed. Also, in fairness to all candidates it is important that all applicants have the same period of opportunity to prepare and submit theirapplications. The Committee is hoping that members of the Boardwill help in the recruiting process for our next CEO, but for nowwe ask that everyone refrain from distributing this documentoutside of the ARRL Board. We are working on the detailsnecessary to make a public announcement but those detailsare not yet final. We are asking that everyone view this version and discussthe details on ODV. We welcome your suggestions. Thetime is very limited and plan to have this job description posted publicly soon. We do need to have an affirmative responsefrom the Board so please comment before Monday morning. Thank you, 73, Kermit Carlson W9XA

[arrl-odv:29708] Announcement of the Dates for the FINAL CEO Search interviews
by Kermit Carlson 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Dear Colleagues, The CEO Search Committee minutes from the 3rdMeeting held on February 13th will be released shortly.At last evening's meeting, on Februrary 20th, the Committee arrived at the decision of the dates when the final in-person interviews with the top candidates will take place. The dates that were decided are Monday July 13th andTuesday July14 just prior to the July Board Meeting. This schedule willallow the day Wednesday July 15 to be available should thatadditional time be necessary. Although this is not a Board meeting we expect that all Directors will travel to the Windsor Marriott Hotel on Sunday July 12th. This plan has been made with the anticipation that every Director will participate in a final interview of each candidate prior to the final selection process. Headquarters Staff will make the reservations necessary for the additional days. This announcement is being made now so that personal plans of the Directors and Officers can be changed to accommodate the additional days in Connecticut. The normal schedule for the July Board Meeting is not affected. The Committee did consider the detail of attendanceby Vice Directors and it was decided that since they would not bedirectly involved in the final interview process and since there isa sizable cost for the additional guest rooms that there not betravel or room re-reimbursement for Vice Directors during themeeting days in advance of the normal July Board Meeting period. All Directors and Officers should plan to be available the days of Sunday July 12th to Wednesday July 15th for the final interview process with the candidates for the ARRL CEO position. The Committee will be asking the help of the entire Boardto identify potential candidates and a formal request from the Committee will be sent to ODV this weekend. That message tothe Board will have a short request of how to help track potentialcandidates that will be contacted. Included in that letter will be the link to the ARRL.ORG webpage that can be referenced by all candidates which will contain the formal CEO Job Descriptionand the formal method to submit applications. In order to establish a method that is equal to all potential candidates the Committee asks that you wait for that forthcomingCommittee Request Letter to ODV which will be sent later this weekend before you announce the opening to your Division and your contacts. Thank You, 73, Kermit Carlson W9XA CEO Search Committee Chairman

[arrl-odv:29688] Youth rates/Membership application
by Mark J Tharp 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Barry, Per minute 37 of the January meeting, will the application form ( http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Membership/MembershipApplicationSEC.pdf ) be updated anytime soon to reflect the new age requirement? If not do we have a timeline on when this change will take effect? Hamfest/convention season is well underway, and I would like to have the correct version of the application. We may also want to add a line that QEX/NCJ are free to full members online and only the print version requires a subscription. Thanks. Mark, HDX

Great point Bud! I enjoy diversity in QST Editorials.Lynn Nelson - W0NDARRL Dakota Division Vice DirectorSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message --------From: W2RU - ARRL <W2RU(a)arrl.org> Date: 2/11/20 8:38 AM (GMT-07:00) To: arrl-odv <arrl-odv(a)arrl.org> Cc: N1VXY <N1VXY(a)arrl.org> Subject: [arrl-odv:29668] Fwd: [ODjr] QST editorials Here’s a little survey of my QST collection that I did not quite a year ago, when I was conversing with some others about “It Seems to Us”:Begin forwarded message:From: W2RUSubject: Re: QST editorialsDate: April 30, 2019 at 8:15:16 PM EDTMy QSTs are still pretty much unsequenced in my bookshelves because most of them came down here to VA from dry storage just a few months ago. That’s not so bad for this exercise, since it facilitates random sampling. Examples (in the order I pulled them off the shelves):1975 December (W4KFC, 1st VP)1975 November (Don Waters — who I believe was the League’s PR guy at the time)1969 April (Unsigned — perhaps Huntoon?)1954 January (Unsigned)2003 January (Ward Silver, N0AX, guest editorial)1990 September (K1ZZ, EVP)1936 April (K. B. Warner, Secretary, chronicling the deaths of Charles Stewart and Hiram Percy Maxim)1926 January (K. B. Warner, Secretary)1988 March (K1ZZ, EVP)1948 August (split between “B.G” — probably Byron Goodman, Ass’t. Technical Editor — and initials I believe are Warner’s, as Secretary)2006 October (K1ZZ, CEO)1956 June (Unsigned, during a period when A. L. Budlong, W1BUD, was Secretary & General Manager, and Goodwin L. Dosland, W0TSN, was President)So you can prove just about anybody wrote the QST editorials over the years. Perhaps more importantly, you could make the point that the CEO/EVP/GM has not historically had a monopoly on the editorial page, and that "really good” editorials can and should come from multiple writers.Bud, W2RU
