Disclaimers notwithstanding, the comments to ODV from a licensed attorney, Board Member and self-identified Volunteer Counsel sure sound like legal opinions, if not legal advice, particularly when prior statements refer to experience in the particular area of the law.
Having raised the concern, being advised staff is aware of the concern and our well regarded Connecticut Counsel is looking into this evolving issue, periodic review of progress is certainly appropriate. That said, perhaps it appropriate to address some of the issues of more direct concern to our members.

Fred:
I disagree that a club house is needed as a public facility. Club meetings maybe, but it is no safe harbor just because there is no club station or owned property. I would not rest on that if this all goes the wrong way.
This is not legal advice as we have not undertaken legal representation of you or your radio club. Your local lawyer is welcomed to consider my comments but may come to a different conclusion after studying the facts and applying local law and customs. We have not studied your matter and will not do so unless a written, formal undertaking of representation is issued by our office.

If the ARRL-affiliated club maintains a “public facility” (clubhouse?) and Domino’s LOSES, all ARRL club websites must be ADA-compliant. No club house, no problem.
You, Dale, are not my client and this is not legal advice.

John,
I must ask the question: What are the implications for every ARRL Affiliated Club that maintains a web site?

Domino’s Pizza delivers a game-changing case to the Supreme Court
You might imagine that the internet has made life easier for people with disabilities, who can now access the same conveniences as everyone else without having to go to physical locations. However, that is not necessarily the case. The web is not a tangible place but its spaces still present obstacles to some, and the...
