I guess all the emails that were sent out by individuals and clubs alike, have made their point. Hopefully, when the dust settles and the ARRL gets back to business, they will concentrate on a Parity Act that has some teeth!! Also, the Kosovo is good news. I was holding off working it until it appeared on the list. I was able to snag Z60A this morning on 20 CW for a new country!! 73 de Jim - KE8G BTW. returning to Houston on Wednesday. My XYL & I flew back to Ohio to spend a couple of weeks with her elderly parents. _____ From: BVARC [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of n5xz via BVARC Sent: Sunday, January 21, 2018 1:18 PM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB; TDXS List; [email protected] Cc: n5xz Subject: [BVARC] Fwd: Re: Arrl update URGENT FYI.

If you have worked Kosovo, in the past, it will count as new country (maybe). Barry Shelley, (former CFO) the new interim CEO, will draft the rules and the issue of how far back the retroactive Contacts will be counted.. A Search committee has been formed to find a new CEO. Shelly is on it and David Woolweaver, West Gulf Director, has also been appointed to that Committee. Hope you are sitting down for this: All Norris motions have been stopped and withdrawn. Handwriting was on the wall that they would have been defeated. So no By-Laws and Articles of Incorporation changes will take place. All Lisenco motions have been withdrawn by Lisenco himself. None of his nonsense will go forward. There is always the possibility that those motions or like ones could be brought up again, but, with the present climate, probably not. If you haven't fallen on the floor yet, read on with this: Part of Code of Conduct dealing with Director speaking to his constituents has been repealed! Part dealing with Director talking about votes - his or other Directors, has been repealed. Remainder of Code of Conduct is subject to review and complete re-write in July. Censure of Dick Norton - Motion to repeal put off, because those for it felt it was not the right time. But censure will be addressed and reviewed sometime this year. Mr. Norton indicated that "he really doesn't care, because he is now a Folk Hero!". My source thinks that there is no passion among the remaining Cabal members anymore to do anything to cause any more pressure to come down on them. They apparently want to do everything they can to make this all go away. (We know it won't go away). Tom Frenaye, K1KI, New England Division Director, has been elected to the Executive Committee. This is a good thing because Mr. Frenaye is known as a straight shooter and not one of the Cabal.

Last note from me on this, but you just have to read this- don't let this stand another day! Spread the word to you clubs and friends-- and write the board individually !!! https://www.myarrlvoice.org/wp-content/uploads/WB6RDV-response-to-K5UR.pdf Sent from smartpho Sent from smartphone, please excuse typos On Jan 18, 2018, at 12:18 PM, Theodore Rappaport <[email protected]> wrote: Dear all- with the CEO resigning today, and the board meeting starting right now, we must all write immediately, this hour, to each director personally (since we now know that they all block emails sent to all directors simultaneously!). Please , write immediately to all directors and vice directors for the removal of 3 key troublemakers! Now is the time for democracy to work! We have to strike now! ------ Example letter that focuses on needed action today at the board meeting. Visit "wireless girl" website for quick listing of individual emails of directors: ----- Subject: Urgent- for Board meeting Hello Sir, I was gratified to see that Mr. Gallagher, the CEO, has chosen to retire from ARRL, and please accept my deep congratulations and appreciation to you for any role you, and other board members, have played in this. Urgently, now, this paves the way for the vital house keeping that needs to happen at the board meeting this week! Please, I urge you and fellow board members to push for the immediate resignation of K5UR, Rick Roderick, who as President has been the key player in the removal of volunteers, the inexcusable censure of N6AA, the hiring of Mr. Gallagher, and the lead creator of ill will and secret dealing for ARRL! Also, just as critical, the board must push for the immediate resignation of N2YBB, who has been a key disruptive figure and a willing instrument of the outgoing CEO. Members now know that Mike Lisenco, N2YBB, has intentionally not been receiving member emails for many months at his published arrl email, and even had his emails automatically forwarded to Mr. Ghallagher, showing an abdication of his abilities or interest to be an ARRL director, clearly displaying absolutely no interest in hearing from ARRL members! That should be immediate cause for his resignation, as he is unfit and unwilling to serve members. And Mr. Roderick's Jan 15, 2018 open letter is only the most recent action that disregards so many of the wishes of members for transparency, fair play, and constructive member-based leadership. These 2 Must go this weekend! Given all the debacles with spectrum and HOA legal issues, the board should also put the present lawyer, W3KD Chris Imlay, on notice that he needs to leave the ARRL imminently. Only with a cleaning up of these 3 bad actors can the confidence of ARRL be restored. No other course of action can cure the ills of the past 2 years, which have led to ill will, directors who have been appointed and not elected, strong arm bully tactics, secret proceedings that aim to tear down and not build up, and a president, director, and lawyer that show little to no regard for a big-tent view that considers the broad interests of all the members of ARRL. These bad actors have to go, as they have finally attracted the ire and attention of the ARRL membership. This damage cannot be repaired, and healing cannot happen, unless and until there is swift and resounding removal of K5UR, N2YBB, and W3KD.
