The main complainer in our Division was indeed at Hamcation. We spoke for a few minutes at the ARRL booth, but he didn’t raise RM-1108. (I’ve known him for a decade or so.) I didn’t see him at the ARRL Forum and no one raised the issue there.
I suspect that it is easier to complain loudly via email than it is to say the same sorts of things in person. It may also be that the anti-RM-11708 messages are now be falling on deaf ears (or more educated ears).

Doug, the post-Board Meeting period has been unusual for me and a couple of projects have been delayed as a result.
I am incorporating additions requested of Chris in the RM-11708 FAQ and will get them posted this week. By the way, did you get any questions about the petition at Orlando?
I will let Barry address your IT staffing question.

Subject: [arrl-odv:22446] Committee Reports From January Board Meeting
We are nearly a month since the January Board Meeting, yet the committee reports have still not been posted for the membership to view. (http://www.arrl.org/committee-reports) I’ve received a request for the DXAC Report which I find on the ODV secured portion of the website. I presume I can forward that to the member, but the point is that they should be able to find it themselves. At the point we are publishing the minutes of the Board Meeting, why aren’t we publishing the Committee Reports?
Is there a reason why this information hasn’t been published yet?
As long as we’re on the topic of things not being published yet, what’s the status of the RM-11708 FAQ?
While I’m on a roll, have we hired the LOTW programmer yet? If not, why not?
Thanks & 73,
Doug
