[Mldxcc] [NCCC] CQ Magazine Questions ARRL re. Code of Conduct and Censure of N6AA

[Fred Jensen]

In the interest of precision:

Bob Vallio, W6RGG and our Pacific Division Director voted in favor of 
the *ARRL Policy on Board Governance and Conduct of Members of the Board 
of Directors and Vice Director 
<http://www.arrl.org/files/file/ODV/ARRL%20Code%20of%20Conduct.pdf>*which 
included Section 8 mandating Board member secrecy and support for all 
Board actions notwithstanding personal views or opposition.  Provisions 
of Section 8 formed the basis for the censure of Dick Norton, N6AA and 
the Southwestern Division Director, in a special telephone meeting of 
the Board this last fall.  W6RGG abstained from the vote in that meeting.

73,

Could be done.  Probably not time yet to actually do it…. but probably it is time to be lining up the players.  Newington needs to believe to believe that a credible alternative organization is a distinct possibility.  The best way to get them to believe it is for it to be 100% true.
