Apparently this list was provided to the Board (with one exception) in a memorandum sent by Director Carlson on June 1. However the memorandum also indicated that we would receive a list (I assume a shorter one) after the June 4 meeting, a little over a month ago. To date I have not received this. If this was sent, I didn’t receive it. Please re-send it directly to me (and I assume Director Norton also would like a copy). If this isn’t available, I would like to understand why.

There is no issue on the ARRL Board agenda more important to the future success of the League than to select a new CEO. The Board owes it to the membership to get this finished as soon as possible.
The July Board meeting is less than two weeks away, and I've heard nothing from the CEO Search Committee. In fact, looking at the Dropbox files concerned with CEO selection, the latest thing I see is minutes of the June 11 meeting, something that happened almost a month ago. The minutes talk of a list of 10 candidates, and a letter to the Board after the last interview. I've seen none of this.
The Committee originally pronounced that it was working on a selection procedure that would involve in-person interviews of top-ranked candidates by the entire Board, or at least Board members who desire in-person interviews.
The virus pandemic has impacted the advisability of doing exactly that, and I hope we will make sensible changes to the previously defined procedure that will allow us to select the new CEO under present conditions.
I see the need to rely more heavily on the CEO Selection Committee members . They have conducted interviews and each member must have ranked the candidates. I hope we can depend on them to give us the benefit of their efforts on this task.
I request that:
1) The list of highest-ranked candidates be made immediately available to the full Board.
2) Each Committee member provide the Board with his ranking of each of the top candidates, and reasons for his ranking. It may be as simple as rating some qualifications from 1 to 10, and giving a score for each candidate for each qualification item. I do not know what qualifications the Committee has applied. If we can see a list of the qualification criteria used and the resultant grade, it should shed considerable light on each candidate.
I imagine that this work has actually been done by this time, and this request will only require forwarding to the Board.
Thank you to the Committee members for your work, and please provide the full Board with the information as soon as possible.
73,
Dick, N6AA
