Hi Dave, I approve the minutes. Tom Abernethy - W3TOM _____ From: arrl-odv [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2016 2:55 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:25116] Approval of Minutes,2016 Annual Meeting of the ARRL Board The procedure established by the Board for formal approval of Board Meeting minutes is as follows: 1. The Secretary will circulate draft minutes to Board members as soon as possible after the meeting. 2. Once Board members have had the opportunity to review the draft and offer comment, a final draft will be circulated. 3. Ten days after distribution of the final draft, the Secretary will call for a vote by electronic mail to approve the minutes. 4. The minutes will be declared as approved upon the receipt of affirmative votes of eight or more directors within the ten days of the call for the vote. 5. The final draft minutes will continue to be made available to members following their circulation to Board members and prior to formal approval. According to this timetable, today it is time for Step 3. However, I am already in receipt of votes to approve from the following 9 Directors: Isely, Olson, Norris, Blocksome, Pace, Vallio, Allen, Rehman, and Norton. Therefore, the minutes are approved. If the other 6 Directors will cast their votes for the record, the Secretary would appreciate it. 73, David Sumner, K1ZZ Secretary
