by Michael Ritz 11 Jul '20

11 Jul '20

I haven't heard anything about whether or not there will be either an A&F or EC Zoom meeting next week, before Friday's general Board meeting. There will be a PSC virtual meeting on the 15th, but that's all I've heard about so far. 73; Mike W7VO

[arrl-odv:30526] CEO Search Activity? and Request
by Richard Norton 09 Jul '20

09 Jul '20

There is no issue on the ARRL Board agenda more important to the future success of the League than to select a new CEO. The Board owes it to the membership to get this finished as soon as possible. The July Board meeting is less than two weeks away, and I've heard nothing from the CEO Search Committee. In fact, looking at the Dropbox files concerned with CEO selection, the latest thing I see is minutes of the June 11 meeting, something that happened almost a month ago. The minutes talk of a list of 10 candidates, and a letter to the Board after the last interview. I've seen none of this. The Committee originally pronounced that it was working on a selection procedure that would involve in-person interviews of top-ranked candidates by the entire Board, or at least Board members who desire in-person interviews. The virus pandemic has impacted the advisability of doing exactly that, and I hope we will make sensible changes to the previously defined procedure that will allow us to select the new CEO under present conditions. I see the need to rely more heavily on the CEO Selection Committee members . They have conducted interviews and each member must have ranked the candidates. I hope we can depend on them to give us the benefit of their efforts on this task. I request that: 1) The list of highest-ranked candidates be made immediately available to the full Board. 2) Each Committee member provide the Board with his ranking of each of the top candidates, and reasons for his ranking. It may be as simple as rating some qualifications from 1 to 10, and giving a score for each candidate for each qualification item. I do not know what qualifications the Committee has applied. If we can see a list of the qualification criteria used and the resultant grade, it should shed considerable light on each candidate. I imagine that this work has actually been done by this time, and this request will only require forwarding to the Board. Thank you to the Committee members for your work, and please provide the full Board with the information as soon as possible. 73, Dick, N6AA

[arrl-odv:30501] Board Meeting Motions
by k5ur＠aol.com 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

Hi all: Back in May,I sent an email to ODV about some initial thoughts for the board meeting. Ofcourse, things have changed and dates for various state openings and the rulesfor those are a moving target. Because of this, our July, 2020 board meetingwill need to be a virtual board meeting. It may not be an ideal situation andwill certainly be different than we’ve ever experienced, but I think there areways to make it as streamlined and efficient as possible by doing some work inadvance of the meeting. If we can better prepare, we might be able to completethe virtual meeting in one day. This is where I need your help. First, weneed all committee reports to be filed prior to the meeting to allow everyonethe chance to review them and understand any recommendations being made. In addition,I’d like to make a list of all motions that are planned to be presented at themeeting. To do this,we need the Committee Chairs to submit a list of the motions they plan topresent, and for Directors to submit their individual motions in advance with acopy to Carla. Ideally, the actual motion itself would be presented to ODV butif you are still working on the wording, then at least submit the motionsubject you are working on so we have an idea of what to expect. We can then compilea master list to work from on ODV leading up to the Board meeting. Pleasesubmit the motions with the Committee or Director name and a number to allowfor proper organization and tracking. By doingthis, we might be able to consolidate a good number of them in consent agendamotions to save time. For example, we should be able to combine the numerousmotions for awards from PSC into one motion. Likewise, if a Director has amotion, then perhaps ODV could see it in advance and work out any questions andwording before the Board meeting thus saving time. Yourcooperation in compiling this information as soon as possible would beappreciated. Thanks. 73, Rick – K5UR
