Hi John: Sorry that I've not replied sooner but I've been swampedlately. I still owe a few people calls, too, so I've got some catching up todo. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. John, I'd like to hold off a bit on the info request. AsChris explained to the EC, and as stated in the EC minutes, he had just receiveda memorandum from Day Pitney regarding trademarks the day before the EC meetingand had not had time to review the information. Nothing has been distributedyet to the EC, nor any of the other committees. As the EC minutes also indicated, I plan to establish an adhoc committee to review the trademark issues and make recommendations. I havenot done that yet but I will soon. This committee will have a representativefrom both A&F and PSC along with a HQ staff person to assure that we havethe various groups participating in a team effort. Dr. Widin will chair thecommittee. Greg has experience with trademarks and intellectual property aswell. I'd like to ask for now that we let this team get set up andstart their work. There will be ample opportunity for the Board to review theinformation and consider the recommendations, just like other committees do. Thanks. 73 Rick - K5UR ... -----Original Message----- From: John Robert Stratton <N5AUS@n5aus.com> To: arrl-odv <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> Sent: Wed, Apr 12, 2017 9:03 pm Subject: [arrl-odv:26368] Day Pitney Report On Trademarks Rick I note at Item 5 of the Executive Committee Minutes that Day Pitney also submitted a report on the status of ARRL's trademarks. As the status and protection of the League's intellectual property is of the utmost important to the well-being of the League, would you be so kind as to circulate a copy of that report to the full Board for review? It would be helpful if all materials submitted to Day Pitney or that motivated the request to Day Pitney were to also be provided to the Board; it would facilitate a fuller understanding. Thanks. 73 ----------------------------------------------------- John Robert Stratton N5AUS Office telephone: 512-445-6262 Cell: 512-426-2028 PO Box 2232 Austin, Texas 78768-2232 ----------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
