Excerpted from ARRL BoD Meeting Minutes:
---------------------
39. Mr. Stinson, as Chairman, presented his detailed written and visual report
on the activities and recommendations of the Administration and Finance
Committee. He observed that while traditional revenues and expenses are roughly
flat over the last few years, the Board has directed the ARRL into an expanded
agenda that will require re-evaluation of priorities.
40. On motion of Mr. Stinson, seconded by Mr. Bodson, it was unanimously VOTED
that League management is authorized to establish the page count of QST. The
Board was in recess for luncheon from 12:02 PM until 12:52 PM, reconvening with
all persons hereinbefore mentioned.
41. On motion of Mr. Stinson, seconded by Mr. Isely, it was MOVED that the 2002
budget submission is approved. On motion of Mr. Bellows, seconded by Mr.
Maxwell, it was VOTED to amend the motion by adding the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the ARRL management and ARRL Board of Directors are committed to
effectively and efficiently providing information of interest to all ARRL
members; and
WHEREAS, the two primary means of providing information to members are QST
magazine and the ARRL Web site; and
WHEREAS, ARRL management and the ARRL Administration & Finance Committee have
proposed moving Section News and Contest Result line scores to the enhanced
ARRL Web site in an effort to reduce ARRL operating losses while still
affording a means of providing that information to ARRL members; and
WHEREAS, prior to deciding to relocate QST content from QST to the Web site it
is desirable that members are aware of the reasons for the proposed relocation
and the enhanced capabilities available on the Web site; and
WHEREAS, deferring the decision to relocate QST content will afford an
opportunity to better understand the effect of such an action and investigate
how best to provide this information and expanded content to members while
being mindful of our fiscal responsibilities; and
WHEREAS, deferring the decision to relocate Section News and Contest Result
line scores will afford an opportunity to evaluate variations and alternatives
to the proposal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the determination of whether to relocate
Section News and Contest Line scores from QST to the ARRL Web shall be deferred
until the July, 2002 Board meeting.
The question then being on the motion as amended, the same was ADOPTED.
