Hi all: The Executive Committee, at Minute 8 of its April, 2018 meeting,established a process and instructed an ad hoc drafting committee to prepare arevised Code of Conduct for consideration by the Executive Committee at itsFall meeting. The Minute reads as follows: The Committee next moved to a discussionof the Board’s direction from January 2018 to review the ARRL Policy on BoardGovernance and Conduct of Members of the Board of Directors and Vice Directors.Discussion focused on a redline draft of edits of the current policy providedby Mr. Imlay, and a template of a Code of Conduct from the National Council ofNon-profits brought to the Executive Committee by International AffairsVice-President Bellows in mid-April 2018. It was the consensus of the ExecutiveCommittee that a combination of these documents could be appropriate for use byARRL. However, the Executive Committee noted this would requireadditional time to properly prepare, review and circulate, and for theExecutive Committee to properly discuss and approve beyond that which isavailable pursuant to Minute 47 of the January Board meeting. It was thereforedecided that an ad hoc committee consisting of Mr. Norris, Mr. Bellows, Mr.Imlay and Mr. Raisbeck would draft a proposal, to be presented at the fall ExecutiveCommittee meeting and thereafter to the Board of Directors. The drafting group has worked diligently toward preparing therevised document since that time. There developed a disagreement within thedrafting group, however, as to how much, if any, of the current Code of Conductshould be included in the revised document. That lack of clarity has recentlyresulted in a plan to present two different documents to the ExecutiveCommittee for its consideration at its scheduled Fall meeting. One of those twodrafts is not yet complete and it is unlikely that it will be completed by thetime of the Board meeting. The drafting group collectively feels strongly thatboth draft documents should be submitted together to the Executive Committee forits discussion and guidance. The entire drafting group supported this approach. Just wanted to fill everyone in on this important task. I ask foreveryone's patience and understanding while the group continues their work. I also want to thank the drafting group for their hard work onwhat has proven to be a challenging effort. 73 Rick - K5UR ...
