Greetings, Please find attached the minutes from the second meeting of the ARRL CEO Search Committee which was held on February 6th. The minutes do contain the 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 their applications. The Committee is hoping that members of the Board will help in the recruiting process for our next CEO, but for now we ask that everyone refrain from distributing this document outside of the ARRL Board. We are working on the details necessary to make a public announcement but those details are not yet final. We are asking that everyone view this version and discuss the details on ODV. We welcome your suggestions. The time is very limited and plan to have this job description posted publicly soon. We do need to have an affirmative response from the Board so please comment before Monday morning. Thank you, 73, Kermit Carlson W9XA

[arrl-odv:29664] April QST
by Shelley, Barry, N1VXY (CEO) 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

The April issue of QST goes to press today and I thought I would take this opportunity to remind the Board of the implementation of a decision made in the 2020 Plan and let you know what I plan to do with the Second Century column. First, this issue will be initial implementation of the decision to reduce the page count by 16 pages (one 8 page signature in publication's language) due to the continuing difficulty of sourcing acceptable content and the decline in print ad sales over time. Reviewing the A&F Committee minutes I see where this was discussed with the Committee and included in the 2020 Plan recommended to and approved by the Board. Please understand, this is not an offer to re-open debate on the subject but just a reminder in case a member notices. Ever since I was asked to take over as Interim CEO, I've been considering what to do with the monthly column traditionally written by the CEO. I believe the topics of these columns should be written with an eye to the future of the organization and amateur radio. However, I don't believe that the membership wants to hear or is best served by the musings of the (admittedly) short term leader of the HQ organization. So I have decided to offer the opportunity to some of the members of the Management Council who the membership doesn't hear from on a regular basis but whose opinions and thoughts on the Second Century of the organization are important. These people are the ones who are implementing the programs and processes agreed to in the Plan and are on the front lines. Their opinions should matter and this is a way to make that happen. I also have faith in our editing staff to help polish the thoughts where necessary. I will write a short introduction, if necessary, review each submission, and I will always have the option to write a column if there's a subject on which I or the Board thinks is important enough to hear from the CEO. 73, Barry, N1VXY

[arrl-odv:29668] Fwd: [ODjr] QST editorials
by W2RU - ARRL 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

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: W2RU > Subject: Re: QST editorials > Date: April 30, 2019 at 8:15:16 PM EDT > My 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

I must apologize....the April issue of QST goes to press on the 20th of the month, not today. I had it confused with another deadline. This, obviously, doesn't change anything in the message. Barry, N1VXY

[arrl-odv:29472] Missing committee reports
by Mark J Tharp 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

Or, perhaps they are listed in another place. I don't find the ARISS report, HF Band planning report, Legal Structure review report, or Legislative Advocacy committee report available to members. They are all behind the ODV firewall, but not listed like all the others. Mark, HDX http://www.arrl.org/committee-reports
