There didn’t seem to be a strong feeling one way or the other about this among the Webinar participants, but while doing other things this morning I listened to the recording of the first few minutes of the meeting.
I did not hear any specific reference to its being the first Board meeting by Webinar, so I have stricken that from the minutes. They will be made available to the membership later today.
By the way, the Board policy governing the recording of Board meetings that was adopted in January 2011 is attached.

Marty, anyone reviewing the minutes of Board meetings would be able to conclude that. Alternatively, they would conclude that the Board has been meeting that way in secret.

Do we really want to tell the world (in Item 2) that the ARRL Board has never met by Webinar until now? We’re trying to portray Amateur Radio as being on the leading
edge, not behind the curve. Striking “, the first” would fix that.

Attached is the final draft of the minutes of last Thursday’s Special Meeting of the Board. Officers and Directors had the opportunity to review the draft and offer comment. No changes resulted.
I am pleased to report that Vice Director Dwayne Allen, WY7FD has accepted the terms of the resolution.
As a reminder, here is the procedure for the distribution and approval of minutes that was adopted by the Board in July 2011 and is now Standing Order 11-2.18:
11-2.18) Effective with the minutes of the 2011 Second Meeting of the Board of Directors the procedure for the approval of Board meeting minutes will
be as follows:
1. The Secretary will circulate draft minutes to Board members as soon as possible after the meeting.
2. Once Board members have had the opportunity to review the draft and offer comment, a final draft will be circulated.
3. Ten days after distribution of the final draft, the Secretary will call for a vote by electronic mail to approve the minutes.
4. The minutes will be declared as approved upon the receipt of affirmative votes of eight or more directors within the ten days of the call for the vote.
5. The final draft minutes will continue to be made available to members following their circulation to Board members and prior to formal approval.
