Ria said: “ I believe now officially recorded in the articles of incorporation”. . Well, it was supposed to be, but they were not yet filed, which might be a good thing. However, subject to CT counsel comment, I am sure that is not a proper way to add a fictitious name for use interchangeable with the corporate name. I suspect the correct way is drop that for Articles, which is just awkward, and file fictitious name registrations for all the alias we want to use which will point back to the corporate name. The object of such laws is to allow the public to find the real party in interest if they search the name in the records. Not difficult, but we have been struggling with this for a while. Local counsel likely can comment on the procedure without any research needed. This is fundamental stuff and CT procedure looks basically the same as almost all states. If someone searched the corporate names or DBA list, having the body of the articles state an alternate name will not be easily searched as it is in the text of the articles.

As related to me by Frank Fallon: The term “American Radio Relay League” was confusing because many people including government elected officials didn’t know what a “radio relay league” was. So the term “ARRL, the National Association for amateur radio” was coined. It’s an alias of sorts and I believe now officially recorded in the articles of incorporation. 73 Ria, N2RJ On Fri, Apr 17, 2020 at 12:03 PM Michael Ritz <w7vo@comcast.net <mailto:w7vo@comcast.net> > wrote: I have a technical question that has been puzzling me for a while now. Maybe one of the grammar gurus or lawyers can answer this: I've always considered the use of "ARRL" to be an acronym for "American Radio Relay League". That would indicate that a sentence would use the word "the" in reference to the ARRL. For example: "The ARRL (took this action)". What I'm seeing a lot of is: "ARRL (took this action)" ie: "ARRL wants you to stay safe in these times" verses "The ARRL wants you to stay safe in these times". It seems that all of the ARRL news releases I'm seeing now use the former, and not the latter. That seems somewhat odd to me. Are we now just "ARRL" (like "IBM"), and not the "American Radio Relay League" ? Is it still OK to refer to us as "the League", if we are really just "ARRL" now? 73; Mike W7VO _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org <mailto:arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
