One follow up bit of info.
I understand that Mr. Schaier is now attempting to call each of you on
the phone to discuss this with you.

Grassroots Solicitation
It has been brought to my attention that Len Schaier,
K2IVX, an ARRL member from the Hudson Division, has emailed each of the
Directors and Vice Directors (intentionally excluding all of the officers) in
an attempt to solicit support for a grassroots effort for HR 462.
Dave Sumner and John Chwat have communicated with Mr.
Schaier over the past few weeks and it has become clear that he does not want
to work within our establish grassroots framework or in accordance with our
plan that Chwat & Company is currently working based on our legislative
agenda, and instead has embarked on a mission to promote his own initiative for
ARRL.
Mr. Schaier has good intentions but he clearly is not
in any position to be dictating our current focus and is causing problems for
Chwat & Company as well as for me.
How you handle Mr. Schaier’s communication is up
to you, but I caution you about creating a dialogue with a member outside your
division and by all means any communication you have with Mr. Schaier must be
copied and coordinated with Frank Fallon.
I can assure you we are not asleep at the wheel in
We cannot, however, have an individual member dictate
our plan and objectives.
