Good luck in changing the status quo Michelle.
Based on the unfortunate "Junior" Director comment on the reflector
yesterday it looks like you'll need it.

I think someone getting upset over the use of the term "Junior" when
referring to a newly elected member of a representative body basically
summarizes this entirely fabricated problem with the "status quo" at AMSAT
well. See the same adjective used in titles such as Junior Senator in
congress, or Junior Vice President at a fortune 500 company for comparable
reference.
I wish every director luck in keeping Amateur Radio in Space, cause I
believe that is still AMSAT's mission. If the mission has been updated to
kowtowing to manufactured outrage from the hamradio PC police, then
hopefully the membership and community will be made aware promptly.

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station?
Contact Opportunity?
?
Call for Proposals?
New Proposal Window is October 1, 2019 to November 30, 2019?
?
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a
crew member on board the ISS.? ARISS anticipates that the contact would be
held between July 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Crew scheduling and ISS
orbits will determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio
contact opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw
large numbers of participants and integrate the contact into a
well-developed education plan.?
?
The deadline to submit a proposal is November 30, 2019.? Proposal
information and documents can be found at https://www.ariss.org .?
?
The Opportunity?
?
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10
minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through
a question-and-answer session.?
?
An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur Radio
between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and classrooms
and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the opportunity
to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and work in space
and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students also will
have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless
technology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human spaceflight
and the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations
must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates and times of
the radio contact.?
?
Amateur Radio organizations around the world with the support of NASA and
space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe present educational
organizations with this opportunity. The ham radio organizations' volunteer
efforts provide the equipment and operational support to enable
communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world using
Amateur Radio.??

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Istituto Comprensivo Statale "Diego Valeri", Campolongo
Maggiore, Italy and Istituto Comprensivo Ladispoli1, Ladispoli, Italy on 19
Oct. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 10:27 UTC. The
duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be direct between IR0ISS and ground stations IQ3RW in
Campolongo Maggiore, Italy and IK0WGF in Ladispoli, Italy . The contact
should be audible over Italy and adjacent areas. Interested parties are
invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to

83 teachers work in the Primary School; school time is 25 hours per week for
the normal time sections (8.05-13.05) and 40 hours per week for all the

About ARISS
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.
Thank you & 73,
