Dave, I believe the draft meeting minutes as you published them provide a good summary of the meeting. However, I think Marty's point suggests some slight editing which would convey more information about use of webinars and the like for League business. While the minutes are correct about this being the first "official" webinar meeting, in that a motion was considered and voted on, there have of course been many Board meetings via webinar informally. These meetings advanced League business and were a means of efficient and inexpensive communication among members of the Board and Board family generally. I think we'd like members to know that we take advantage of technology to minimize the cost of running the League. Perhaps "the first meeting of the ARRL Board by Webinar." might be changed to "the first *official* meeting of the ARRL Board by Webinar." or maybe "first *voting* meeting." This would lead the reader to understand naturally that there have been other meetings that just have not included a vote. FWIW. I can live with the wording as-is if it bothers no one else. 73, Greg, K0GW On Tue, May 27, 2014 at 2:14 PM, Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ <dsumner@arrl.org>wrote:

There didn't seem to be a strong feeling one way or the other about this among the Webinar participants, but while doing other things this morning I listened to the recording of the first few minutes of the meeting. I did not hear any specific reference to its being the first Board meeting by Webinar, so I have stricken that from the minutes. They will be made available to the membership later today. By the way, the Board policy governing the recording of Board meetings that was adopted in January 2011 is attached. 73, Dave K1ZZ From: arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2014 3:14 PM To: Woll, Marty, N6VI; arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:22726] Re: Final Draft, Minutes of Special Board Meeting Marty, anyone reviewing the minutes of Board meetings would be able to conclude that.
