Chris,
I agree that my member is correct that he
read a release that stated ARRL is warm and furry over the RC change in its background
check policy. This, of course, is a problem we inadvertently inflicted on
ourselves. It occasionally happens that people of good will approach a
situation (interpretation of the RC letter in this case) with great hope and
are lead astray by their own hope. I simply believe we should officially tell
our members that this is what happened and that the issue remains unresolved.
Tnx.
Jim

Jim your member is, in my
view, quite correct. There is a substantial difference, actually several,
between what is on the mybackgroundcheck.com web site for ARC partner
organizations and what ARC told Joel they were going to use. We are revising
Joel's letter to the ARC now, but in my view, all is not well with the
background check issue.

Oops! I’ve attached the member
comment this time.
The following is a comment I received from a member in the
GLD. Knowing that the background check issue has clearly not been
resolved, but that ARRL releases have sounded much more
“enthusiastic” than the situation warrants, how does anyone suggest
I respond to this and other such comments other than with the unvarnished
truth?
Jim
Incidentally, the member’s comment
was in response to comments I made about the RC background check demands and
the status of the MOU.
“I also recently read
that the issues with arrl/rc had been resolved to everyone's
satisfaction. I did not verify this but suggest you check it out
currently.”
