The following was sent to my director this afternoon ...
I'm extremely disappointed in the Board ...
> 51. Next moving to Directors’ motions, Mr. Rehman moved, seconded by
> Mr. Fenstermaker, the following resolution which was ADOPTED:
>
> WHEREAS the Board of Directors has received inquiries
> concerning RM-11708 (the symbol rate petition); and
>
> WHEREAS it is imperative that the Board of Directors inform our
> membership in a uniform and comprehensive manner;
>
> BE IT RESOLVED THAT the ARRL Board of Directors instructs staff
> to immediately prepare a set of Frequently Asked Questions
> (FAQ), along with their answers concerning RM-11708 and place
> these FAQ onto arrl.org with a static link on the home page for
> the pendency of RM-11708.
Where is "listen to our membership and act on their concerns?" This
strongly smacks of "Newington knows best - the rest of you peasants
sit down and shut up. We will tell you what to think and when to
think it."

At a time like this, how can the Board elect the architect of RM-11709
(K5RAV) to the Executive Committee - particularly when he nominated
himself?
Has the entire Board of Directors taken stupid pills? RM-11709 is bad
enough but to "reward" its architect by allowing him to nominate
himself to the EC where he can do so much more damage to Amateur radio
is an outrage.

Rm11708 items are item 47 and 51. Interesting to see the NO votes listed in
#47.
