I can understand that BoD needs to make some decisions behind closed doors, when dealing with FCC / FEMA, but this is not the case here. Changing ARRL bylaws should be done with open discussions. Sactionning a BoD member should be accompanied with factual statements and clearly explained. ‘Somebody said / filled complain’ is not good enough to censor a BoD member.
As a ARRL member i want to push back and demand an explanation about those issues:
I demand to see how the the ARRL bylaws are changed and 'Code of Conduct' is voted - who voted Yay / No !? I just can’t find ARRL BoD minutes for that meeting. http://www.arrl.org/files/file/ODV/ARRL%20Code%20of%20Conduct.pdf
Those changes are made in 2016 / early 2017 (.pdf is dated 1/31/2017, author: Dan)
FACTUAL information, supporting the BoD decision voted on 11/20/2017 to censure Dick/N6AA.
I’m planning to make a $1 donation on https://www.arrl.org/arrl-donation-form to show my commitment , together with this demand.
Thanks Fred, for reminding me that i can fight back before quitting!
I will appreciate any suggestions and improvements. English as my 4th language. (Russian was mandatory and my elective was German).
My VOTE and $$$ are the only tools i have.
