I am very uncomfortable voting on such significant and precedence setting matters without hearing directly from Director Rehman. Voting without hearing both sides of an issue is contrary to common sense and fairness. And I agree that as a courtesy to a fellow Director, Director Rehman should be allowed to present his side of these matters.

Plus, if he's ineligible for re-election, he's not eligible to continue as a Director for the same reasons. I think that would take a separate vote, -- Tom ===== e-mail: k1ki@arrl.org ARRL New England Division Director http://www.arrl.org/ Tom Frenaye, K1KI, P O Box J, West Suffield CT 06093 Phone: 860-668-5444

1) The concept of a group of politicians voting their opposition out of office for alleged blasphemy is not something that comes close to my concept of ethical behavior. I note that it is however, the method used very successfully by the Iranian Guardian Council. Consequently, I will go on record as voting to yes on item 1, review of the decision to finding Mr Rehman "ineligible for reelection." 2) With respect to the complaints against Mr Sarratt, it's not straightforward. If it is true that the Orlando Hamcation chairman asked that Sarratt remove the chairman's picture from campaign literature that seems to imply support for Sarratt's candidacy, it is beyond me that the E&E Committee did not also ask for its removal. However, my view is that he members in the Southeastern Division are the ones who should decide who represents them, not me, or some other group of directors. Consequently, I vote to not review the Committee's decision to allow Sarratt to run. 3) The concept of voting on issues without discussion does not come close to my concept of either fair play, good business practice, or ethical conduct. 4) The end results of this action is likely to surpass the League's recent success in its NTS activities. 72 (not a typo), Dick Norton, N6AA On Fri, Sep 23, 2016 at 10:25 AM, Roderick, Rick, K5UR via arrl-odv < arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> wrote:
