Jim, I believe the number of people who have a legitimate reason to be able to reach Mike, or whoever is covering for him, on a 24/7 basis is very limited. To the best of my knowledge and recollection we have never had an ARRL "duty officer" designated on a 24/7 basis except during actual emergencies.

Given that he already has an ARRL cell phone to carry, the only step that would be needed to provide 24/7 coverage for his office number would be a means to link this number to the cell number. This might involve modifying his "not available" answering message to provide an "in case of emergency" contact number. Would you consider that doing this is a logical step under Mike's job description? Is this the direction you believe HQ should go now that we have made our direct involvement in the response to Katrina, our development of several"go" kits and ability to respond similarly in the future so widely known?

One is his personal phone and the other is an ARRL phone. We can reach him if we need to. If he's going where he can't be reached he will leave the ARRL phone with someone else, since it's one of the operational contact numbers we give our served agencies.

Since he is the EMCOMM guy shouldn't he be available? I think we should help facilitate that if we are going to be in the emergency comms arena! IMHO... 73 David A. Norris, K5UZ Vice Director, Delta Div. -----Original Message----- From: arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Grant Hopper Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2011 5:36 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:19774] Re: Mike Corey's job description Dave, thanks for sending this out to us! I've reviewed the job description and I have trouble seeing that any part of his job, as described, requires the ability to immediately be reached by phone (unless it's something under #13 "other duties as assigned.") I'll add specifically that #10 does not look like it sets an expectation of '24x365' communication ability. Now, as I understand it, some of functions he presently performs could be time sensitive and being able to activate those tasks/functions can or do depend on timely notification so that someone at the ARRL can start a timely response. That suggests that some evaluation and review is in order. If we expand his role, does this trigger a compensation review?...
