To all, There has been more controversy than I have ever seen in the approval of minutes of any meeting in which I was a part. I hesitate to offer a bit of a compromise, but we need to get the minutes out to the members. I was somewhat confused as to why our previous policy allowed the distribution of unapproved minutes, but it probably stemmed from a situation like the one we find ourselves in now. I would propose that we all approve the minutes from ODV #27024, and have a news story detailing the board meeting, the board minutes, and any other issues brought forward that did not appear in the official minutes that need to be communicated to our members. This way we will have both a correct set of minutes per Roberts Rules of Order, and additional information to our members for any concerns of transparency. ’73 de JIM N2ZZ Director – Roanoke Division Representing ARRL members in the Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina sections ARRL – The National Association for Amateur Radio™ From: arrl-odv [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Rod Blocksome Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2018 4:24 PM To: Henderson, Dan N1ND Cc: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:27034] Re: Minutes on which approval will be requested I have to say I had some familiarity with Robert's Rules of Order but have been educated in the finer points these past few days.
