John; I notified David via e-mail last night that I would rather we resolve this this post-haste. After several discussions with E&E Chair Director Zygielbaum, (post my discussions with you), there were sensible and legitimate legal reasons brought up that indicated to me that we need to get this resolved quickly, rather than waiting another two months to even discuss it. I remind you that Ria's book will soon, if not already, be on store shelves. In fact, two nights ago I did some research. Besides Amazon, the book is also listed for sale on Target.com and the Barnes and Noble bookseller website, among many other e-sellers. Last night I found there are even two copies of her book already available on e-Bay! The longer this goes on, the harder it will be to mitigate. That is, of course, if the Board ultimately decides to take action at all. That will have to be a decision we all make together as a Board, but only after we hear from both sides, and CT Counsel. IMHO, it is in neither parties best interest to delay discussion on this matter. It's not fair to leave Ria dangling over any possible relief or mitigation, and as a Director of ARRL speaking, certainly not in the best interest of ARRL. Just my two watts.... 73; Mike W7VO
