[arrl-odv:30837] Draft Board Minutes July+Aug

Dear Members of the ODV: Attached is the completed draft of the minutes for the 2nd Board Meeting, combining the July and August sessions. Please let me know if you have any edits/suggestions. If you make any edits to the document itself before returning it to me, please enable "track changes." FYI-the minutes of last week's Special Board Meeting will be sent separately this week. Please let me know if you have any questions. Respectfully, Carla [cid:image003.png@01D68071.63944710]Carla Pereira, KC1HSX Executive Manager ARRL Newington, CT 06111 860-594-0242 http://www.arrl.org/

ODV: On minute 28, I believe that Ms. Jairam pulled the motion, and I also withdrew my second on the motion, based on the opinion from CT Counsel that the authority to accept e-signatures was already allowed per CT law. It followed that Barry promised he would educate staff regarding the acceptance of e-signatures, so the motion was deemed not necessary and was pulled. There was no actual vote to pull the motion, but maybe it should be documented exactly what did happen for the record? On minute 29, my motion to amend By-Law 18 to be consistent with the Election Rules as modified in January passed 15-0, so was a roll-call vote necessary? I guess the question is: Do all By-Law changes require a roll-call vote even those unanimously passed? Great job, Carla! 73; Mike W7VO

Mike, I suppose a roll call is not required for a By-law change as the votes could be counted without a roll call, but I believe in the past we usually call the roll to assure the proper votes are counted, 3/4 or 2/3.

Hi Rick I don’t believe there was actually a vote to pull the e-signatures motion, and it was just pulled. I’ve never seen something like this in the minutes. Not that I mind that those reading see how the sausage is made but I’m interested in the record reflecting what actually happened.

According to my notes, Minute 28 about e-signatures was merely withdrawn, thus no vote was taken. I'd suggest we revise the end of the first sentence in Minute 28 to read, ".... of electronic signatures, and the motion was withdrawn." The next two sentences can be deleted. Also, "Council" needs to be changed to "Counsel" in the first sentence.

I would ask to have the title Sheriff added before Mr. Brian Winter, KA7IAC in the SK listing. Did we actually " applaud " the passing of Minute 26? The third to last paragraph in minute 27 reads "After discussion the Board made offered an amendment to include the sentence:" Should just the word made go away? ?? The last paragraph in minute 40 should have the word VOTE after roll call (I think) THEREFOR needs the final E in minute 36 Thanks Carla!

I am trying to think of a time when the SK list contained the profession of the ham that has passed away. Are there only certain professions that will be listed or will SKs have an occupation designated if someone asks. Then we will need a procedure to allow some but not others.

Hello Carla I would like a change to the report of the EMC Committee in Minute-15 there is the sentence which states; 15. Electromagnetic Compatibility Committee – Mr. Carlson Mr. Carlson discussed the two most importantissues the committee is currently working on: current regulations that allow forinterference and wireless/electric power transfers. For clarification the sentence should read "Mr. Carlson discussed the two most importantissues the committee is currently working on: present regulations which allow electronic devices to be marketed that have unnecessary radio emissions at levels that do cause harmful interference; and, proposed regulations for Wireless Power Transfer - Electric Vehicle (WPT-EV) Systems that would allow out-of-band emission levels from those WPT-EV systems to be of such a high intensity so as to cause harmful interference to amateur radio operations." Thank You - Kermit Carlson W9XA currentregulations that allow for interference and wireless/electric power transfers On Tuesday, September 1, 2020, 2:06:07 PM CDT, Pereira, Carla, KC1HSX <cpereira@arrl.org> wrote: Dear Members of the ODV: Attached is the completed draft of the minutes for the 2nd Board Meeting, combining the July and August sessions.
