Upon further reflection, I have modified my proposed motion to include Orlando (the ARRL National Convention) and HamVention. I'm open to adding Visalia, if we can't squeeze in enough meetings in Orlando and HamVention. I welcome thoughts on whether the meetings should be one vendor at a time, or a group meeting to solicit input. My own thought is that vendors will be more candid and forthcoming if meeting alone with a few Dirs or VDirs. The latest version of the motion is attached. Notes: . I should have remembered, and I am grateful to N2RJ and K3RF for calling to my attention, that "personal investigations" are legal once again, now that the Code of Conduct has been repealed. If not done already, I hope Dan Henderson or Carla Pereira will scrub the CoC from the ARRL web page. . Please note that this is an experiment. The motion does not call for the creation of a permanent committee, nor continuing meetings. If the benefit is weak, in comparison to costs (of all kinds), the idea can be abandoned.
