Hi John:
 
Sorry that I've not replied sooner but I've been swamped lately. I still owe a few people calls, too, so I've got some catching up to do. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.
 
John, I'd like to hold off a bit on the info request. As Chris explained to the EC, and as stated in the EC minutes, he had just received a memorandum from Day Pitney regarding trademarks the day before the EC meeting and had not had time to review the information. Nothing has been distributed yet to the EC, nor any of the other committees.
 
As the EC minutes also indicated, I plan to establish an ad hoc committee to review the trademark issues and make recommendations. I have not done that yet but I will soon. This committee will have a representative from both A&F and PSC along with a HQ staff person to assure that we have the various groups participating in a team effort. Dr. Widin will chair the committee. Greg has experience with trademarks and intellectual property as well.
 
I'd like to ask for now that we let this team get set up and start their work. There will be ample opportunity for the Board to review the information and consider the recommendations, just like other committees do.
 
Thanks.

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.
