Robert, speaking of trying to evoke anger, you seemed to be out to do that
without answering the question.

Where did the money come from? If I understand correctly, it would have
been AMSAT's General Fund. Right?

    Thanks

Rich,

I think the problem was that they weren't really protecting AMSAT. They
were protecting the incumbent AMSAT leadership team. They were able to deal
with the issue of discrimination without counsel. You don't need to call
your lawyer to understand how to deal with the only woman engineer in a
leadership role in the whole organization. You need to recognize the
realities of the present, that we are not all white Christian men and that
you need to have some more consideration for people who aren't like you.

If they had devoted as much time to hearing and attempting to understand
the complaints of the opposition as they did to contracting lawyers, this
would not have happened. No lawyers. No big argument now.

    Thanks

    Bruce

To all who claim the legal expenses were a waste of money, consider this:


>>>In January 2020, a demand letter arrived at AMSAT from an attorney
representing Directors Thompson and Stoddard.


Submitting a demand letter from an attorney is a really big deal. That legal
line was first crossed by the new board members. Apparently, Joe Spier
resigned at this point in order to avoid unfair legal entanglements - and,
as far as I can tell from the few interactions I have had with Joe - he is a
kind person.

Plenty of evidence, plenty of facts - obviously point to AmSat not keeping
up with the times. But that does not justify legal betrayal of existing
board members by new members in an effort to usurp full control of the
board. A more perfect response would have been to do nothing until the
election cycle and hope to replace the board members who may have been
dragging their feet.

My point is this - nobody should be making the argument the legal expenses
were not required. Hearing this from the members who delivered the demand
letter feels insulting on many levels and should stop. Own it - the members
who brought the demand, and their Backer(s), are ultimately responsible for
the costs incurred. Actions have consequences - and side-effects.

Ends do not justify means. There is a right way and a wrong way to move
forward. Trust is more valuable than performance.

The legal expenditures were both Wise and Required. The demand letter sent
by the new board members was neither. Shifting blame and not owning the
side-effects of our actions is less than optimal.

This observation is not a vote in favor or against any member or candidate.

"Drew, Bob and All:

I have been thinking along the same lines for some time, but being no more
than a "Senior Advisor" (geezer) I have not chosen to voice my views widely.

Most hams want linear transponder, high altitude satellites. Very few are
yet into digital anything.

Yes, AMSAT should be in the forefront of technology, but to do so, it must
be here. To be here, it must have the support (money) of the ham community.

We can still make a very good case for emergency commutations with a
spacecraft which is in there 24/7 (Rideshare) even if it is only an analog
transponder. With moderate bandwidth, that analog transponder can be used
for at least low rate digital communication by ground stations. So, still
pictures and medical data can be exchanged through it.

So, let's get to it.

That means fundraising. I have seen very little effort in that direction.
Have fat cats been solicited? What about the guy (can't remember his name)
who spent $20,000,000 to visit the ISS for a week. It would seem that he is
a prime candidate. Has he been contacted?

Has FEMA been solicited re the potential Rideshare offers?

It's up to the AMSAT leadership to make such solicitations.

We raised $2,000,000 here in North America for P3D. We should be able to do
it again, despite the AO-40 disaster.

These are my thoughts.

HO-107 is back sending telemetry.  The transponder is off, but if you have
been copying telemetry and removed it from your schedule, it would be

Many thanks to Vlad EU1SAT / EU1XX for reporting this via Twitter.  If you
want to judge the health of the spacecraft yourself then you can pull the
telemetry down from the server using FoxTelem.  File > Fetch Server Data
will do it.  Just make sure you are not writing the data into the same
folder as data you are capturing live.  Or it will delete it (with a
warning first).  There are instructions in the manual but feel free to
email me if you want help.

Robert, who are "THEY"?

As far as I know, people in favor of the current leadership and those
wanting to change it are AMSAT members. You're making it sound like the
opposition is storming the AMSAT office and illegally ousting the current
team. The GM is comprised of very smart people with good cognitive skills.
I don't think there's a need to evoke anything.

As for the "legitimate" expenses, in what world is legitimate to procure
legal services in order to punish a member for criticizing an officer? Or
using lawyers to prevent duly elected directors from accessing information
to which they have a legal right to access?

Like I expressed to you last year, I was upset that a member was penalized
for voicing his criticism. Now I'm livid for the use of legal counsel to
advise on proposed sanctions against that same member.

Hi Robert,

Unfortunately, you are stating the time sequence backward.

If you read the explanation letter signed by the whole AMSAT board, the
legal expenses are in 2018-2019. The demand letter came at the *end* of the
legal process, when the majority of the funds had already been spent. When
they got the demand letter, AMSAT's attorneys relented and the board did
what was demanded in the letter, and Joe resigned (for reasons he has
chosen not to elaborate upon). Michelle and Patrick's blogs are public and
you can read it there, it is clear that there were many attempts to
communicate before the demand was made.

It also is important to note that AMSAT had lawyers directed at Michelle
and Patrick long, long before they got their own lawyer.

    Thanks

    Bruce

    Thanks
