Summary of ARRL meeting (source confidential): <br>
<br>
Kosovo has been listed as DXCC country - immediately and
retroactive. If you have worked Kosovo, in the past, it will count
as new country (maybe). Barry Shelley, (former CFO) the new interim
CEO, will draft the rules and the issue of how far back the
retroactive Contacts will be counted..<br>
<br>
A Search committee has been formed to find a new CEO. Shelly is on
it and David Woolweaver, West Gulf Director, has also been appointed
to that Committee.<br>
<br>
Hope you are sitting down for this:<br>
<br>
All Norris motions have been stopped and withdrawn. Handwriting was
on the wall that they would have been defeated. So no By-Laws and
Articles of Incorporation changes will take place.<br>
<br>
All Lisenco motions have been withdrawn by Lisenco himself. None of
his nonsense will go forward.<br>
<br>
There is always the possibility that those motions or like ones
could be brought up again, but, with the present climate, probably
not.<br>
<br>
If you haven't fallen on the floor yet, read on with this:<br>
<br>
Part of Code of Conduct dealing with Director speaking to his
constituents has been repealed! Part dealing with Director talking
about votes - his or other Directors, has been repealed.<br>
<br>
Remainder of Code of Conduct is subject to review and complete
re-write in July.<br>
<br>
Censure of Dick Norton - Motion to repeal put off, because those for
it felt it was not the right time. But censure will be addressed and
reviewed sometime this year. Mr. Norton indicated that "he really
doesn't care, because he is now a Folk Hero!". My source thinks that
there is no passion among the remaining Cabal members anymore to do
anything to cause any more pressure to come down on them. They
apparently want to do everything they can to make this all go away.
(We know it won't go away).<br>
<br>
Tom Frenaye, K1KI, New England Division Director, has been elected
to the Executive Committee. This is a good thing because Mr. Frenaye
is known as a straight shooter and not one of the Cabal."<br>
