[WAR ] W.A.R. Renewal Process

[The Wisconsin Association of Repeaters]

Hello,

For those of you who weren't at the W.A.R. April 18, 2009, meeting in 
Appleton, the following changes to the renewal process was 
approved.  This was also published in the April 2009 W.A.R. Newsletter.

This new protocol gives you three months to return the annual Renewal 
form before you receive a Second Notice Renewal (resulting from not 
returning the first Renewal form on time.)  Then You have another 
three months to return the Second Notice Renewal before being 
de-coordinated (resulting from for not returning the annual Renewal 
form at all.)
Note that there will be no third renewal form via certified mail.


1. The annual renewal forms will be mailed out in the second quarter 
of the calendar year (mid May) to the Primary Contact person, and due 
back August 15th.

2. For those who do not respond to the first mailing, a second notice 
of renewal will be mailed out to the Holder of Coordination and 
Primary Contact in the third quarter of the Calendar year (mid 
September), and due back by November 15th.

3. Any repeater or link whose annual renewal form is not returned by 
November 15th is therefore de-coordinated.  (Not published in our 
listings, not reported to the ARRL.)  A subsequent request for 
re-coordination must be made in person, or by proxy, to the Board of 
Directors and members present at the next W.A.R. meeting.

In the middle of the second notice period, we could publish the 
"delinquent" list in the October Newsletter.  Perhaps some folks 
would notice and call their Club President or repeater owner and ask 
"what's up?"  We do realize that in some cases, people move on (and 
we are not aware of it), and the folks who are left don't receive the forms.
