Surprisingly, I received an immediate response from Chris Imlay, ARRL attorney in DC, who was not addressed in my message but got it on forward from NY2RF. It was long and defensive and included a lot of pedantic teaching on board governance principles that I already said in my letter that I was familiar with. I've just launched on a convention trip for an international non-profit, coincidentally similar in structure and size to ARRL. I'm on its Executive Committee; signed some behavior documents when I joined its Board; but it's not restrictive in any uncomfortable sense. When I get a break, I'll respond to Chris, but it doesn't appear to have any chance of changing anything.
