Present were the following committee members: President Jim Haynie, W5JBP, in the Chair; First Vice President Joel Harrison, W5ZN; Executive Vice President and Secretary David Sumner, K1ZZ; and Directors Dennis Bodson, W4PWF, Tom Frenaye, K1KI, Bernie Fuller, N3EFN, and Rick Roderick, K5UR. Also present were International Affairs Vice President Rodney J. Stafford, W6ROD, and General Counsel Christopher D. Imlay, W3KD. 1. The following agenda was agreed: Consideration of agenda for the meeting Consideration of plan of work for the committee for 2003 Review of working draft of study in response to Minute 56, July 2002 Board Meeting (amateur utilization of 902 MHz 24.25 GHz) Study of standing committees (Minute 52, July 2002 Board Meeting) Discussion of anticipated FCC Omnibus Part 97 Notice of Proposed Rule Making Consideration of implementation plan for limited temporary relief from Automatic Power Control requirement for spread spectrum at 2.4 GHz (Minute 31, January 2003 Board Meeting) Confirmation of schedule for strategic planning meetings, July and September Review and possible approval of 4th round of applications for Amateur Radio Education & Technology Program Review of progress in accomplishing past Board and EC actions Status of review of Articles of Association and Bylaws Status of review of Standing Orders Status of memoranda of understanding to which the ARRL is a party Amateur Radio Interference Assessment (ARIA) update Review of status of other pending FCC matters Status of ARRL Legislative Agenda for 108th Congress Dissemination of state legislative report WRC-03 status report Other international matters Legal matters Field organization matters Antenna and RFI cases 2003 National Convention status report Recognition of new Life Members Affiliation of clubs Approval of conventions Approval of minutes of December 5, 2002 meeting by telephone conference (Number 470) Date and place of next EC meeting Other business 2. The committee agreed to the following plan of work for the year 2003: Completion of review of Articles of Association and Bylaws. It was agreed that with the exception of whatever amendments may arise from the study of standing committees now underway, the only revision indicated at present is the simplification of Bylaw 23 since the transition from two-year to three-year terms for Directors and Vice Directors has been completed. The Secretary will provide a proposed revision for committee approval so that it can be circulated to the Board at least 30 days in advance of the July 2003 Board Meeting. Review of ARRL Standing Orders. By April 15, committee members will review the current list of Standing Orders with a view to eliminating those that are obsolete or that do not rise to the level of organizational policy. Recommendations for changes and deletions will be presented to the Board for consideration at the July 2003 Board Meeting. Establishment of tracking mechanism for monitoring progress on implementation of Board actions. Completion of study of standing committees (Minute 52, July 2002 Board Meeting). 3. Mr. Imlay presented a draft document comprising the work to date by Technical Relations Manager Paul Rinaldo, W4RI, First Vice President Harrison, and himself in response to Minute 56 of the July 2002 Board Meeting. This Board action calls for an analysis of options for better protecting and efficiently deploying Amateur Radio in the bands between 902 MHz and 24.25 GHz. Committee members participated in a wide-ranging and thoughtful discussion of the issues raised in the draft report and concluded that the final report should include an analysis of the concept of strategic partnering with non-amateur interests. Mr. Imlay and Mr. Harrison indicated that the document will be delivered to the Executive Committee by May 15 for onward transmittal to the Board by June 1. 4. Mr. Frenaye presented a strawman proposal for the restructuring of standing committees of the Board responsive to Minute 52 of the July 2002 Board Meeting. Following discussion that led to minor changes to the proposal, on motion of Mr. Roderick it was voted to distribute the proposal to the Board for the consultation with the other standing committees called for in Minute 52, with the objective of completing work on a formal proposal for the necessary amendments to the Bylaws prior to the July 2003 Board Meeting. Mr. Roderick agreed to provide introductory text. The committee was in recess for luncheon from 12:00 to 1:10 PM. 5. Mr. Imlay reported that the FCC is expected to release in May an Omnibus Part 97 Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) incorporating proposals from several petitions for rule making, including some from the ARRL. The NPRM is expected to include some items that will be proposed by the FCC on its own motion. It is possible that the comment period for the NPRM will end before the July 2003 Board Meeting, in which case it will not be possible for the Board to discuss in person those issues upon which it has not already taken a position. Accordingly, the committee discussed several such issues in order to provide Mr. Imlay with guidance as to what positions should be reflected in draft ARRL comments, but without adopting any positions as ARRL policy inasmuch as it is not yet known which proposals will be included in the NPRM. Any draft comments prepared in response to the Omnibus NPRM will be subject to the usual policy review prior to filing. 6. Mr. Imlay reported on discussions with FCC staff by Mr. Rinaldo and himself regarding the fulfillment of Minute 31 of the January 2003 Board Meeting, which is to provide a specific group of amateur experimenters operating under the control and supervision of the ARRL High Speed Digital & Multimedia (HSMM) Working Group with temporary relief from the automatic power control requirement for spread spectrum communication at 2.4 GHz. It appears that it may be possible for the group to achieve its objectives within the existing regulations. It was agreed that Mr. Imlay shall draft a letter, to be reviewed by Mr. Rinaldo and Mr. Sumner prior to sending, to the chairman of the HSMM Working Group explaining this interpretation, with a copy to the FCCs Public Safety and Private Wireless Division. 7. Mr. Sumner noted that in accordance with the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Planning Committee that were accepted by the Board (Minute 40 of the January meeting), on Thursday, July 17, the Officers, Directors, and staff officers will be involved in a full-day Leadership Development Seminar as the initial step in the resumption of strategic planning. The regular Second Meeting of the Board will begin the following morning. Thus, there will not be time available for standing committees or other committees to meet just prior to the Board Meeting. Mr. Sumner was asked to remind the committees that they will have to complete their tasks in advance. Travel days for Vice Directors attending the Board Meeting will be Thursday (arrival) and Sunday (departure). 8. After discussion, on motion of Mr. Bodson, ten applications for participation as Pilot Schools in the ARRL Amateur Radio Education & Technology Program were approved. 9. Progress in implementing several past Board and Executive Committee actions was reviewed, including the following: July 2001 Board Meeting, Minute 64. Mr. Imlay reported that considerable information on state-level PRB-1 legislation is now available on the ARRL Web site although it is not in the how-to form envisioned in the motion. In practice, a case-by-case approach is required because each state is somewhat different. Regulatory Specialist John Hennessee, N1KB, of the Field & Educational Services Department is the initial point of contact for inquiries on this subject and provides what is necessary; for example, a sample floor statement for use by a legislator recently was requested. October 2001 EC Meeting, Minute 2.10. The FCC had solicited comments to refresh the record in IB Docket 95-59 regarding reconsideration of rules adopted in 1996 on preemption of local zoning regulation of satellite earth stations. It had been thought that the proceeding might provide an opportunity to argue against inconsistent interpretation of the Commission's authority to preempt private land use restrictions, and the EC had authorized appropriate comments to be filed. However, on closer examination of the proceeding it provided no basis for comments on behalf of the Amateur Radio Service. October 2001 EC Meeting, Minute 2.13. Brief comments had been authorized in response to a petition by Loea Communications Corporation, RM-10288, simply to remind the FCC that the Amateur Service continues to have access to 75.5-76 GHz on a primary basis until 2006 when WRC-2000 decisions to realign the band will take effect. Comments were filed and were taken into account in the NPRM in WT Docket 02-146. The EC reviewed this proceeding during its December 5, 2002, teleconference and agreed that no further ARRL comments were required. October 2001 EC Meeting, Minute 2.16. Mr. Imlay reported that he had reviewed the disclaimer posted on the FCC Enforcement Log section of the ARRL Web site and had found it to be adequate. March 2002 EC Meeting, Minute 2.11. The EC had requested that Mr. Sumner and Mr. Imlay collaborate in drafting a letter to the FCC advocating a prohibition on multiple applications for the same call sign by a single applicant. Discussions with FCC staff revealed that their position was that amendment of Part 1 of the Commissions Rules would be required. In the meantime, a petition for rule making, RM-10582, was filed by three individuals seeking the same relief and is expected to be included in the upcoming Omnibus proceeding (see Minute 5). March 2002 EC Meeting, Minute 6.2. The matter has been addressed without the necessity of correspondence. March 2002 EC Meeting, Minute 6.3. A Working Group of the IARU Region 2 Executive Committee has been established to develop an implementation plan for a program to promote greater collaboration between the member-societies of Region 2. When the program is implemented an ARRL contact person will be named. July 2002 Board Meeting, Minute 57. President Haynie conceived the six-minute video, Amateur Radio Today, to address the objectives of Minute 57. It was unveiled at the January 2003 Board Meeting and has proved to be very effective. Mr. Sumner confirmed that staff is prepared to support Mr. Haynies ideas for additional materials. On motion of Mr. Harrison, it was voted that a tracking mechanism for monitoring progress on implementation of Board actions is established. A chart prepared by the Secretary will be included with future EC reports to the Board showing a summary of the action item, to whom it was assigned, budget, status, and the expected or actual completion date. Once completion has been reported, the action items will be removed from the chart. Review of the Articles of Association and Bylaws had been completed under Minute 2. 11. Similarly, the status of the ARRL Standing Orders had been reviewed under Minute 2. 12. Mr. Frenaye initiated a discussion of principles related to the Memoranda of Understanding to which the ARRL is a party. He said that in some cases it is not clear where in the ARRL organization the responsibility resides to manage the relationship described in an MOU. Committee members agreed that it was generally desirable to review MOUs periodically, e.g., every five years. Mr. Frenaye expressed concern about disclaimers that appeared in the 2002-2003 Repeater Directory with respect to listings in certain areas and that would be repeated with some modifications in the next edition. While recognizing that work on the next edition is essentially finished, several committee members expressed the desire that if possible, such disclaimers be avoided in the future. 13. Mr. Harrison reported on the status of the Amateur Radio Interference Assessment (ARIA) project. He hopes to be able to report progress in field measurements by the July Board Meeting. 14. Mr. Imlay reported briefly on the status of several pending FCC matters. He noted that in a supplement to its petition for reconsideration in ET Docket 98-153, the UWB proceeding, Cingular Wireless LLC has echoed the ARRLs argument that the FCC lacks the authority to permit the operation of unlicensed devices except as explicitly provided by statute. He observed that the recent Report and Order in ET Docket 02-16 concerning, among other things, the removal of radiolocation stations from 1625-1705 kHz does not represent a new threat to 1900-2000 kHz as the provisions for relocating such stations date back to 1987. He also reported that the Department of Defense has submitted a persuasive rebuttal to erroneous claims by SAVI Technology, Inc. that the restrictions on the use of 425-435 MHz under Part 15 can be relaxed, as proposed by the FCC in ET Docket 01-278, without adversely affecting military radars. 15. Mr. Sumner noted that the Amateur Radio Spectrum Protection Act has been reintroduced in both the House and the Senate as H.R.713 and S.537 respectively. Reintroduction in the House of the Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Consistency Act is expected shortly. 16. A report on state legislation relating to telecommunications is shared with Board members regularly. After discussion it was agreed that Directors should be encouraged to share the relevant information with the Section Managers in their divisions. 17. Mr. Stafford noted that IARU Region 2 worked effectively to represent Amateur Radio at the recent meeting in Orlando of CITEL PCC.II. He reported that two additional countries in Region 2 will support Method D which is one of the methods that provides for a 300-kHz worldwide amateur allocation. 18. Mr. Stafford reported on the status of the consultative process between the ARRL, in its role as the IARU International Secretariat, and the regional representatives to the IARU Administrative Council to identify qualified candidates for IARU President and Vice President for the 2004-2009 term. Vice President David Wardlaw, VK3ADW, has announced that he is not available to serve another term. The consultative process will continue, with the list of available candidates to be completed by July 9. The International Secretariat then has until the next meeting of the Administrative Council, scheduled for September 6-8 in Taipei, Taiwan, to select its nominees. Mr. Imlay reported briefly on legal matters. 20. Field organization matters were discussed without action. 21. Mr. Imlay reported on the status of court cases involving amateur antennas in New Mexico and Texas. 22. Mr. Haynie reported that preparations for the ARRL National Convention in Arlington, Texas, June 20-22, are proceeding well. 23. On motion of Mr. Bodson, 441 recently elected life members were recognized and the Secretary was instructed to list their names in QST. 24.
