I am uncomfortable voting on such significant matters without hearing directly from Director Rehman. Voting without hearing both sides of an issue is contrary to common sense and fairness. As a courtesy to a fellow Director, Director Rehman should be allowed to present his side of these matters.

First, Doug Rehman asked for review per Bylaw 41 of the decision by the E&E Committee that he is not eligible for re-election (ODV:25723). Second, Doug requested a review of the determination by E&E that Greg Sarratt is qualified as a candidate for election (ODV:25724) based on a complaint Doug filed with the E&E Committee. You have received two reports from the E&E that CEO Gallagher circulated, one on each issue. We need to have a vote on whether or not either or both of these decisions of the E&E Committee should be reviewed. There will be two separate votes. If a majority of the Board votes no, then the respective matter will be deemed concluded. If a majority of the Board votes yes, then on that respective matter we will proceed to decide whether a majority of the Directors wishes to reverse the decision of the E&E Committee after review. Therefore, I am asking that each Director vote on each of the following questions: 1. Should the Board review the decision of the Ethics and Elections Committee finding Doug Rehman, K4AC, ineligible for re-election? _______Yes _______No 2. Should the Board review the decision of the Ethics and Elections Committee regarding the ethics complaint by Doug Rehman, K4AC, requesting disqualification of Greg Sarratt, W4OZK? _______ Yes _________No Doug has requested review by the Board of Directors and that the votes be recorded. Accordingly, please respond to ODV so your votes can be recorded by the Secretary. It is important to have these two issues resolved quickly so please try to vote sometime over the weekend if possible. 73 Rick ... -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
