*Fellow Members of the ARRL Board of Directors * As there are questions raised by E&E’s report that are not fully addressed in said report; As the proposed punishment, if it were to be approved, carries the potential of immediate and long-term, lasting adverse consequences to the ARRL and Amateur Radio; As the proposed punishment appears to conflict with Connecticut corporate law, the violation of which could expose the ARRL to legal liability; As any accused has, or should have, an absolute right to face their accusers, to present evidence and witnesses in their defense, and to do so without time constraints; As this right is guaranteed by Robert’s Rules of Order, which pursuant to ARRL By-Law 29 govern the actions of the ARRL Board of Directors; This is a formal request for an in person meeting of the ARRL Board of Directors to be conducted at the January 2023 Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors to consider, in accordance with Robert's Rules of Order, the matters presented by the report and recommendation of the Ethics & Election Committee. _______________________________________ John Robert Stratton N5AUS Director West Gulf Division Office:512-445-6262 Cell:512-426-2028 P.O.
