Greg, it isn’t
clear to me why the following is insufficient assurance:
After January 1, 2014, all
coordinators who demonstrate that they are making an effort to manage their data
through the online Repeater Directory database will be eligible for the
customary annual honorarium payment of $1 per repeater record. All we ask is that you occasionally check into the
database and view or edit your records. Our tracking software will automatically
log your visits.

Subject: Re: [arrl-odv:22052] Changes in Repeater Directory
data collection
It is my understanding that changing the source of repeater
data would change the reimbursement for providing data n such a way as to
completely de-fund many local repeater councils. I have been told that
Minnesota's council would be one such. Is this true in general, and how
significant would this change be on a yearly basis? Is this change
something we should be prepared for a firestorm about?

At Minute 9.3 of
the October 5 EC meeting I reported on a plan developed by Steve Ford, WB8IMY to
improve the accuracy of listings in the ARRL Repeater Directory. The new
procedure for collecting and maintaining repeater data is explained in the
attachment, which will be going out to frequency coordinators next
week.
Until now,
repeater coordinators have provided all of the information for the Repeater
Directory listings. While the data is in a common database, we regard each
coordinator’s data as “their” data and allow them to manage it. The degree to
which the coordinators do so varies widely. As a result we receive complaints
about the accuracy of the listings and are at somewhat of a competitive
disadvantage to other published repeater listings.
The new procedure
allows data to be received directly from repeater operators. However,
coordinators will still have ample opportunity to “vet” the data for their areas
and to make changes, for example to delete uncoordinated
repeaters.
