Thanks for your suggestions about non-Board appointees for the National Broadband Plan Committee created at Minute 40 of last month's meeting. It was possible to identify two outside volunteers who have industry experience to contribute, and both have accepted appointment. The committee will consist of the following people: Jay Bellows K0QB, chair Brian Mileshosky N5ZGT Rod Blocksome K0DAS Kermit Carlson W9XA Chris Imlay W3KD Brennan Price N4QX Kent Britain WA5VJB John Battin K9DX Kent and John are the outside volunteers and both have the kind of industry experience needed for the task. As chair, Jay brings not only his leadership abilities but also his connections with Amateur Radio societies elsewhere in the world. You just never know where valuable information will come from. 73 - Kay N3KN
