Your understanding may be correct, Tom, but the fact is that when I spoke with one of the candidates in late February, he was unaware of its provisions. Once he read through them, he almost dropped out of the race. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say . . . they did not appear to be aware of the contents of the Code of Conduct. 73, Marty N6VI From: arrl-odv [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Tom Frenaye Sent: Friday, April 14, 2017 8:26 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:26375] Re: Details of ARRL Board Adoption of Code of Conduct Inbox x At 06:40 PM 4/12/2017, Richard J.

It should simply be considered to be part of my notes on what transpired. As I personally strive for honesty, accuracy, and above-board communication with this board, I would appreciate any corrections to the reported happenings. "The secrecy is evident from the fact that the Southwestern Division Vice Director candidates, running in the current election, have not been made aware of the contents of the Code nor even the existence of the Code itself." Secrecy? There aren't monsters under every bed. I'm told the three candidates were sent information on the newly adopted policy a few weeks after the January Board meeting by the assistant secretary. -- Tom ===== e-mail: k1ki@arrl.org ARRL New England Division Director http://www.arrl.org/ Tom Frenaye, K1KI, P O Box J, West Suffield CT 06093 Phone: 860-668-5444
