I am utterly unimpressed with the lack of attention given to this by HQ. I just tested two former Vice Directors’ callsigns@arrl.org <mailto:callsigns@arrl.org> and found the mailboxes to be functioning. (In addition to what I had indicated about WA4AW’s .org address in my email below.) It is clear that the POLICY has been that Vice Directors do indeed retain their .org email addresses. Who made the decision to go against that policy and deactivate Mike’s .org email address and based upon what reason and authority? This makes it appear that Mike has done something wrong. Mike provided a parting statement to K5UR which Rick chose not to share with the Board. If anyone that hasn’t seen it in private email cares and would like a copy, email me privately and I will send it directly.

Doug, good question but I don't know the answer. Tom, can you check what our policy, if there is one, or practice has been and let us know, please? Thanks.

I’ll post a message from Mike if that’s his desire. I know that former Directors and Section Managers keep their .org addresses, is that not also true of Vice Directors? WA4AW maintained his .org address from being a Vice Director after losing an election. Has something changed?

Thank you for all of your help on the Board. I've really enjoyed working with you. Mike, do you want to tell the Board that you are resigning or do you want Tom to tell the Board? I feel like we owe it to the Board members to tell them something before any kind of announcement is made. What do you think? 73 Rick - K5UR ...
