Make that Ivory soap - to keep it within the P&G family... dARTh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Art Goddard" <w6xd@comcast.net> To: "arrl-odv" <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> Sent: Sunday, July 25, 2004 1:35 PM Subject: [ARRL-ODV:10997] Re: ARES COPYRIGHT Jim, wash thy mouth out with soap... We have an MOU with REACT, so there! 73, Art W6XD --------------------------------------------------------------- REACT International, Inc., (Radio Emergency Associated Communication Teams) While REACT has been associated primarily with Citizens Band in the past, the organization has widened its focus to embrace amateur and other services. ARRL and REACT share common goals in terms of emergency communication. The primary mission of REACT is "to provide public safety communications to individuals, organizations, and government agencies to save lives, prevent injuries, and give assistance wherever and whenever needed." The memorandum of understanding calls on the two organizations to "cooperate and utilize their resources from time to time to optimum mutual benefit to both parties." Among specific principles, the agreement will involve cooperation during emergencies and disaster relief and the elimination of "duplicative or technically inferior service" during such responses. "The parties will generally encourage ongoing liaison with each other and urge members of both organizations to develop increasingly effective communications and cooperation," the agreement states. --------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim K8JE" <K8JE@arrl.org> To: "arrl-odv" <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> Sent: Sunday, July 25, 2004 5:23 PM Subject: [ARRL-ODV:10996] Re: ARES COPYRIGHT
Hey, Art,
We did more good than I thought if we gored REACT's ox! I wonder why didn't he present himself as a member of the Odd Fellows or the Church of What's Happenin' Now? This inquiry may even represent the one of the best reasons for protecting the ARES mark.
Oh, yes, I realize that there are some places where ARES and REACT work one in the same.

Jim, I have one "unfavorable" message, from a REACT person. Maybe he's just being REACTionary. I'm sure Chris (who authored the motion) can shed some light on the questions being raised.

Is anyone else getting flack over the motion we passed about ARES, displaying the copyright mark and ownership of materials? I'm getting it from some very hotheaded folks around Lexington, KY who appear to have gotten each other into a feeding frenzy.
I'm considering driving down there to meet with them and am just wondering if I'm the only person lucky enough to have a fomenting revolution at hand. Other than this hot spot, I've fielded a couple of benign, curiosity-stimulated questions as to "why now?" from outside of KY.
Tnx
