> The ARRL Board of Directors met January 17-18 in Connecticut to
> discuss a wide range of topics, including a timeline for future
> strategic planning, increasing League membership and raising the
> level of awareness in Washington, DC, of Amateur Radio issues at the
> upcoming World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-03).
> 
> Last summer the Board created an ad hoc committee on strategic
> planning, which developed a set of recommendations for a new
> strategic planning process and brought them to the Board meeting
> last week. The Board will meet in a special leadership seminar in
> July, and in September will convene for a special strategic planning
> retreat. With a closer view in mind, a new ad hoc committee was
> created to focus on the recruitment and retention of members.
> 
> The Board also spent a fair amount of time discussing strategy for
> pursuing Amateur Radio's interests at WRC-03, to be held in Geneva,
> Switzerland this summer. The hottest topic concerning ham radio is 7
> MHz and the objective of a worldwide 300 kHz harmonized amateur
> allocation. The immediate need is to get the government side of the
> US administration to support realignment of the amateur band and the
> shortwave broadcasters in ITU Regions 1 and 3.
