Minutes of the Executive Committee, Number 482
MINUTES OF ARRL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Number 482
Teleconference – April 10, 2007
Agenda: Discussion of FCC petition RM-11306
Pursuant to due notice, the Executive Committee of the American Radio Relay League, Inc., met by teleconference at 7:17 PM EDT Tuesday, April 10, 2007. Present were the following committee members: President Joel Harrison, W5ZN, in the Chair; First Vice President Kay Craigie, N3KN; Executive Vice President David Sumner, K1ZZ; and Directors Frank Butler, W4RH, Coy Day, N5OK, Jim Fenstermaker, K9JF, George R. Isely, W9GIG, and Warren G. “Rev” Morton, WS7W. Also present were Vice President Rick Roderick, K5UR and General Counsel Christopher D. Imlay, W3KD.
Mr. Harrison opened discussion by noting that the public comments filed with the FCC on the ARRL’s “regulation by bandwidth” petition, RM-11306, paint a very confusing picture as to the sentiments of the amateur community. This is the result of many factors, including the ARRL’s filing of an ex parte statement and the subsequent correction of an error in the statement as well as concerns that are not directly related to the concept of regulation by bandwidth itself. He commented that he remains very supportive of the concept of regulation by bandwidth and believes that the majority of the ARRL Board is as well; however, it will be very difficult for the FCC to proceed on the basis of the existing record.
Mr. Imlay was asked to explain the procedural options that are available to the FCC.
Committee members asked questions and offered comments.
On motion of Mr. Isely, it was unanimously voted to recommend to the Board the adoption of the following resolution, in accordance with Article 6 of the Articles of Association: Resolved, that RM-11306 be withdrawn in order to permit a full discussion and consideration of options at the July meeting of the Board.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:09 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
David Sumner, K1ZZ
Secretary
