Good Afternoon: At its recent meeting, the ARRL Executive Committee decided to allow for the resumption of appointments for OOs and OOCs where needed geographically. Attached is the news story on the subject. We are also sending this notification to the SM reflector today as well in an attempt to keep them informed of the decision prior to its publication on the ARRL web site tomorrow. The full minutes of the Executive Committee meeting and the related web story, will be posted tomorrow as well on the ARRL web site. We wanted the Board and the SMs to have the story prior to the general population. I would appreciate you treating this information as "Board Confidential" until tomorrow when the new is public. 73, Barry J. Shelley, N1VXY Chief Executive Officer ARRL, Inc.
