7 JUL 2011 - 2043 CDT

This message is the last in a long series of phone calls, email messages,
and webinars, first between the directors, then the directors and the
officers, and now including the vice directors.

You will find two PDFs attached to this email.  They are Draft 6 of the
proposed changes to the ARRL Articles of Association and the ARRL Bylaws.

This final round of suggested changes before the board meeting next week
includes the following items.

Articles of Association:

No further proposed changes.  But the changes to this document will be
split into two motions because the topic of one of the changes (officer
succession) was not posted to the board before the 30 day in advance
deadline for obtaining a smaller required vote majority for approval. 

For consistency in discussion, this draft number has been rolled forward
to #6 with the one proposed later change to draft 6  to be labeled 6-A.

This means there will now be two (2) motions to amend the Articles of
Association at our July board meeting.

Bylaws:

4    In the first line, strike "$39.00 annually worldwide" and insert
     "determined by the Board of Directors, with advice of the
     Administration and Finance Committee, and shall be".  Add sentence
     "Dues are currently $39.00 worldwide." - Cliff Ahrens

7-b  The word "death" has been changed back to the word "decease". 
     - Kay Craigie

12   Strike the second sentence and replace it with "The League shall
     reimburse their reasonable and prudent administrative expenses and
     travel expenses in accordance with travel and expense policies
     adopted by the Board of Directors."  - Jay Bellows

26   Previously proposed last sentence modified to read "Special meetings
     may be conducted using electronic methods whereby all participants
     are able to hear one another in real time."  - Dick Norton
------------

FYI, I will be out of town all day 8 JUL, until late afternoon 9 JUL.
