FYI - There is a petition at change.org asking for more transparency at the 
ARRL.

https://www.change.org/p/arrl-board-of-directors-a-demand-for-transparency-at-the-american-radio-relay-league

"The American Radio Relay League is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization for radio 
amateurs dedicated to public service, advocacy, education, technology and membership. The 
organization is supported with membership dues and is governed by a Board of Directors 
elected by the membership."

Without getting into the politics, asking for more transparency, particularly 
for how money is allocated seems pretty reasonable. It's July 15, last year's 
annual report still isn't available.  I don't agree with everything they are 
asking for, but providing more information to members are what the organization 
is doing, how money is being spent, and what decisions are being made sounds 
like a good start.

Personally I think some changes at the ARRL are overdue.  I don't think it's 
activities are attracting younger, more technically inclined people to the 
hobby.

The primary reason I'm forwarding this, is due to a claim that this message 
about the petition isn't getting out because it is being censored at many of 
the old-line amateur radio sites.  While I've signed it. I'm not asking anyone 
to sign.  I just want to spread the word.
