Jim: It looks very good-you, the committee, and the consultants did a great job. The only nit could be the 12/1 transition beginning date. Between the selectee needing to give notice to their current employer (likely two weeks) and relocate to CT if they aren't already there, that's pretty aggressive. Depending on the selectee's current employment, they may also need to remain in that position through the end of the year to receive an annual performance bonus. December 1 would be a good target date, but January 1 may be more realistic.

It contains 'time critical' portions such as the timeline, detailed job description and evaluation plan. Additionally there are sections such as a plan of transition and an assessment of the use of professional search firms, that are important but heavily dependent on factors unknown at this time. The process here will be: a 'comment period' that begins now and ends at 1700 EDT on Friday July 31, 2015. This time frame will allow you to comment on the critical aspects of our plan, ask questions and become more familiar with the upcoming months efforts. Once the comments and questions have been addressed, the CEOSC will submit its plan to the EC for an authorized electronic vote to approve. Once the vote has been taken, and if it results in the affirmative, we will execute the plan and begin the search for a new CEO. Please understand that this plan is the work of the committee and its consultants, not the work of any one individual. I want to thank the committee members for their hard work and dedication to the process, and the various consultants for their valued input. 73 and good Hamming Jim Pace, K7CEX ARRL the National Association for Amateur Radio Northwestern Division Director
