K5UR's statement characterizes our effort as "an organized misinformation campaign," but he provides no specific examples of such misinformation or false statements.  If you find a provably false statement anywhere on myARRLvoice.org, please send a note to webmaster@myarrlvoice.org so it can be corrected.

The Board does many things in secret, well beyond the short list of examples he provides.  In the Minutes of the ARRL Board, every time the Board votes to go into a "Committee of the Whole" or "Executive Session," that's a secret part of the meeting that is not documented by the minutes.  That's appropriate when discussing investment plans or ARRL employee issues, but completely inappropriate when discussing the future of an elected director (who is not an employee), or the future of the ARRL organization itself (such a proposal to eliminate all Vice Directors).

K5UR is up for re-election as ARRL President (voted by a majority of the Board) in about 3 days.  If re-elected, he will serve another 2 year term (unless or until he resigns).
