[arrl-odv:27188] Code of Conduct fallback
My apology for coming to the party so late but I sense there may not be a consensus among EC member on the suspended Code of Conduct at a time of high feelings within and beyond ARRL membership. I recognize I am a guest at this meeting, but feel some responsibility for having had a part in getting where we are now on this issue. Moreover, my firm belief is that ARRL cannot continue to kick the can down the street on this issue. In the event the EC cannot reach a consensus on the proposed CoC I am forwarding a Sample Code of Conduct recommended by the National Council of Non-Profit that I ran across. The attached sample lacks the specificity of the (in my opinion) well done draft CoC that the EC has been reviewing. While it addresses most of the issues of concern, it does so in more general, non-legal language. The fact it was generated by a leading organization of non-profits could show the membership that a Code of Conduct is a common and necessary part of the operation of a non-profit organization. Again, it is intended for consideration only if the EC cant reach consensus on the current proposal. 73, Jay, KØQB
Hello Jay et al, The only discussion I was aware of would be the Section-8 re-write and not everything else - 73, Kermit W9XA On Thursday, April 19, 2018, 12:32:51 PM CDT, <jbellows@skypoint.com> wrote: My apology for coming to the “party” so late but I sense there may not be a consensus among EC member on the suspended Code of Conduct at a time of high feelings within and beyond ARRL membership.

Hello Jay, I must agree that adapting this sample to fit our needs is an excellent option, if a complete re-write is deemed to be the consensus. Good luck at the EC meeting this weekend. 73, Kermit Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Thursday, April 19, 2018, 12:43, Kermit Carlson via arrl-odv <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> wrote: Hello Jay et al, The only discussion I was aware of would be the Section-8 re-write and not everything else - 73, Kermit W9XA On Thursday, April 19, 2018, 12:32:51 PM CDT, <jbellows@skypoint.com> wrote: My apology for coming to the “party” so late but I sense there may not be a consensus among EC member on the suspended Code of Conduct at a time of high feelings within and beyond ARRL membership.

I, for one, Jay, commend your suggestion, not only because it represents a reasonable and positive compromise, but because I believe it will be welcomed by the membership in the vetting process that was promised them. 73, Jim K6JAT Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8. -------- Original message --------From: jbellows@skypoint.com Date: 4/19/18 7:32 AM (GMT-10:00) To: 'arrl-odv' <arrl-odv@arrl.org> Cc: 'email' <jbellows@skypoint.com> Subject: [arrl-odv:27188] Code of Conduct fallback My apology for coming to the “party” so late but I sense there may not be a consensus among EC member on the suspended Code of Conduct at a time of high feelings within and beyond ARRL membership.

Jay, I like the "tone" and "flow" of this sample. Seems to me it would make a very good basis for a CoC for us. There would be some necessary tweaks for ARRL specifics and I would advocate keeping the language concise and "non-legalistic". My thoughts....
