I agree we should respond but I think it should be an exchange as set forth in the motion rather than a negotiation. Perhaps a "what do you have in mind?" could be directed to K1IR by K1KI with the follow-up along the line you suggested. It seems to me a small working group such as MSC, VRC and A&F chairs would be an orderly way to proceed. In any event we should start soon. 73, Jay KØQB -----Original Message----- From: jmax@attglobal.net [mailto:jmax@attglobal.net] Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 9:05 PM To: arrl-odv@arrl.org Subject: [ARRL-ODV:6867] [Fwd: Fw: [CQ-Contest] DID WE BUY SOME TIME?] << Message: Fw: [CQ-Contest] DID WE BUY SOME TIME? (1.39 KB) >> The attached was forwarded to me by VDirector Vallio. The email reminds us that the Board received a letter from Jim Edelson, K1IR. Is someone going to reply to him? If so, who, and what will it say? I think they're trying to be responsible, and we should give them a cautious "yes," and then follow with some explanation of the League's problems, plus questions of them 73. Jim, W6CF
