[PVRCNC] Traffic handling problems?

You  may have already seen this from other sources, but may find it interesting:
 
Good news! Democracy in action!
Summary of ARRL meeting (source confidential): 


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..

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.

Hope you are sitting down for this:

All Norris motions have been stopped and withdrawn.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.

All Lisenco motions have been withdrawn by Lisenco himself.  None of his nonsense will go forward.

There is always the possibility that those motions or like ones could be brought up again, but, with the present climate, probably not.

If you haven't fallen on the floor yet, read on with this:

Part of Code of Conduct dealing with Director speaking to his constituents has been repealed!  Part dealing with Director talking about votes - his or other Directors, has been repealed.

Remainder of Code of Conduct is subject to review and complete re-write in July.

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).

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.

Also, just as critical, the board must push for the immediate resignation of N2YBB, who has been a key disruptive figure and a willing instrument of the outgoing CEO.

> Members now know that Mike Lisenco, n2ybb, has not been receiving member emails for many months at his published arrl email, and even had his emails forwarded to Mr. Ghallagher, showing an abdication of his abilities or interest to be an ARRL director,  clearly displaying absolutely no interest in hearing from arrl members! That should be immediate cause for his resignation, as he is unfit and unwilling to serve members. And Mr. Roderick's Jan 15, 2018 open letter completely disregards so many of the  members wishes for transparency, fair play, and constructive member-based leadership. These 2 Must go this weekend!

>> Dear all: someone in late December sent out a note about how someone “on high” had made some decision with regard to NTS and traffic handling, without consulting or advising local folks who are in the know and are “supposed to be” empowers. I am trying to get evidence that shows how the ARRL has been strong arming its leadership without considering members or including ideas from others.  Have people been removed from duties, or things done without consent or cooporation by ARRL leadership? Can someone send me a brief bullet list of specific examples of particular “wrongs” being done by ARRL leadership? We need this ASAP since the board meeting is  Friday. THANKS, ted
