The standing order Art cites reads: 99-2.61) Sixty days prior to each meeting of the Board, the officers, led by the president, are directed to identify one of more key issues that should be discussed by the Board at its next meeting. When the topics have been selected, the directors will be notified in a timely fashion and asked to consider each topic from the standpoint of the status of Amateur Radio within their division. The second and third vice presidents are responsible for collecting comment from each director and writing a summary report for the Board based upon those comments. The summary reports are to be distributed sufficiently in advance of each Board meeting to allow directors time to review the report prior to the meeting. This seems to fall into the "it seemed like a good idea at the time" category. On a historical note, it was the last motion offered by retiring Director Tod Olson, K0TO.
