[arrl-odv:30408] Diversity Bord motion from 2014
by Mike Raisbeck 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

Folks, July 2014 Board Minutes 36. On motion of Mr. Frenaye, seconded by Mr. Vallio,it was VOTED that the ARRL Board supports a significant increase in the resources directed to generating new amateurs, with particular emphasis on increasing diversity, that staff be directed to propose a course of action to meet that goal, and that the first steps be taken during the process for establishing the 2015-16 Plan. I don't recall any substantive action arising from this. Anyone out there have better info? MikeK1TWF Mike Raisbeck k1twf(a)arrl.net

[arrl-odv:30392] N1MM FD Change
by Michael Ritz 05 Jun '20

05 Jun '20

In case anybody in your Division asks, N1MM has updated and released their new software for the new FD rules. See below: > Version 1.0.8423 (June 2, 2020) > FD: Score 1D-1D the same as other contacts for 2020 only (N1ND) (Coded by N1MM) > I've heard that N3FPJ has also already released his software with the change. A BIG thanks to Dan Henderson, N1ND for "gettin' er done"! FWIW, I'll be operating in the SEA-PAC QSO Party event tomorrow, in lieu of the actual SEA-PAC convention that otherwise would have been held this weekend. The "good" news is that it's supposed to rain tomorrow, so maybe it'll be a good weekend to be home rather than at the beach in Seaside, OR. NOT! :-( 73; Mike W7VO

Hot off the press, well, still warm at least. This was posted to the ARISS site yesterday and I was going to send this last night but time slipped past me. This has been in the works for some time and hopefully will help streamline the funding and grant process for ARISS. 73.. Mark, HDX Mark J. Tharp KB7HDX ARRL VD NW Div. ARISS Committee Chair

[arrl-odv:30390] Preliminary Meeting Notice - 2020 Second Meeting
by Shelley, Barry, N1VXY (CEO) 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

Good afternoon: Attached is the preliminary meeting notice for the 2020 Second Meeting of the ARRL Board of Directors. Please take some time to review the notice as it is a little different from our traditional notice and, in fact, meeting arrangements. This is due to the current mandates for reopening the State of Connecticut which would not allow a large meeting at the hotel until July 20th at the earliest and possibly later. If anyone has any questions, please let me know. We will be issuing the formal call for the meeting 30 days prior to the meeting date. 73, Barry Shelley, N1VXY Interim Chief Executive Officer and Secretary

[arrl-odv:30353] July Board Meeting
by k5ur＠aol.com 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

Hi all: Barry and I have beenfollowing the developments daily about COVID-19 and the impact on holding anin-person July Board meeting. Today we learned that although hotels will be allowed to open for overnight guests in lateJune, they won’t be allowed to host meetings and events until July 20th at theearliest. This means we will not be able to hold an in-person meeting inHartford. This is unfortunate as you may recall that our plans were to blockoff the entire third week in July to conduct CEO interviews before the Boardmeeting and now those will need to be delayed until we can meet in person. I’vetalked to a good number of Directors the past several weeks during and aftervarious online meetings, i.e. CEOSC, EmComm, and have used the opportunity toask for input about what we should do. There seems to be support to have abrief virtual meeting in July on the date proscribed in the By Laws, which ispermissible per Ed Spinella, CT counsel, and take care of only items that mustbe addressed, and then adjourn to a date specific time in the future in hopesthat we can have our in-person meeting a few weeks later, i.e. early September. That’sthe plan for now. 73, Rick –K5UR
