Good job on the opinion paper.
We should wait to see what the NPRM contains. If Chris is
correct, then we should do nothing. If the NPRM does not materialize and
things stay as they currently are, then we should do nothing. The Status
Quo is working, no one is prohibited from transmitting, training or
exercising.
It does appear that fear-mongering exist and a few folks are trying to
making this subject out to be much more than it is, which is unfortunate.

Subject: [arrl-odv:18367] Options
paper, Section 97.113
Item
10.d. on the draft agenda for next month’s Board meeting is the
development of the ARRL position on possible amendment of the FCC rules concerning
pecuniary interest and communications on behalf of one’s employer
(Section 97.113). To assist the Board in its deliberations the Executive
Committee requested that an options paper be prepared. General Counsel Imlay
and Regulatory Information Manager Henderson developed an excellent paper, which is attached for your
review.
There
will be ample opportunity for discussion of the issues addressed in this paper
at the meeting, but of course any consideration that you can give to them in
advance of the meeting will facilitate the Board’s work.
