Joel, Much appreciated. Some other factors that might affect the cost outside of normal travel, hotel and meal expenses could be: . Lost staff productivity in travel time for those staff attending the board meeting . Potential loss of productivity in committee reports by not having information available from department managers/staff who normally provide presentations/answers to the committees Wonder if we could include estimates for these as well? Thanks! - Bill N3LLR

Dave,

What are the cost projections for board meetings at Hartford and for

board

meetings at Houston, TX.

Additionally, I'd like a roll -call vote for this vote to go on

record

publically.

Earlier the Board authorized staff to investigate an alternate

location to the Hartford area for the January 2008 Board Meeting.

Staff completed its investigation and has reported to the Executive

Committee that the best available site is Houston, Texas. Space is

being

held for us at the Marriott-Greenspoint North, about 15 minutes from

Houston's Intercontinental Airport.

As authorized by the Executive Committee,President Harrison has

instructed

me to offer the following resolution for consideration by the Board:

"Moved, that the 2008 Annual Meeting be held in the vicinity of

Houston,

Texas."

An "aye" vote is for the meeting to be held in the Houston area; a

"nay"

vote is for the meeting to be held in the Hartford area.

Please respond, either to me or to arrl-od @arrl.org, with your vote.

David Sumner, K1ZZ, Secretary
