Pursuant to Standing Order 11-2.18 (below) and at the direction of the Secretary, I ask for the voting members of the Board of Directors to indicate their preference on the minutes of the 2018 Second ARRL Board of Directors meeting (attached).

One note: It came to light that the addition (by friendly amendment) of the phrase “of Ventura County, CA” added to the recipient of the 2018 ARRL Microwave Development Award (Minute 30) changed the intended recipient of the award from the AREDN Project Team to one of the smaller groups that utilizes the technology.  The Programs and Services intention with the recommendation was to honor the AREDN Project Team.  With the permission of the President, and the consent of the motion sponsor and second (Mr. Norton and Mr. Blocksome), Minute 30 has been changed to clarify the intended recipient of the honor.  If you have any questions, please email me and I will try to address them.

Thanks and 73
