We?ve voted?and regardless of the outcome, it?s clear that there are some
issues facing the organization that need to be ironed out.
In the meantime, can we return this e-mail list to the discussion of working
amateur satellites? My days and nights are filled with politics?and now my
hobby too. It?s just too much.
With all due respect.

This is getting outright silly. _It is the AMSAT equivalent of Obama's
Birth Certificate._ Makes me wonder......
Anyone can look up that form on line with Google and they will find 1)
It is an online form, 2) You won't find anyone's completed form in a
Google Search.
ORI hired an attorney to enter the form and it is the attorney's work
product.? Probably if it were released here, certain unnamed trolls
would pick it apart simply to try and find a technical fault. If you
were not part of the solution, you don't have a right to criticize the
process.
Who really cares about this. The result is that ORI jumped a hurdle.
That is a good thing and took effort. Apparently others did not make the
effort or we would have launched an HEO in past 15 years rather than
wring hands over SCARY SCARY ITAR.
The only ones whining are those who are ganging up in opposition of the
new board members.
"Michelle,
The request form itself contains ALL OF THE INFORMATION that anyone on the
-bb should care about on this matter.
For all we know right now, the request paperwork may not have even
referenced the designs that you speak of.? We literally have no way of
knowing.

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 (STEAM)
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.

Les,
That is a wonderful suggestion/request and I wish it would
happen, but it won't. The situation has become too toxic and
I fear that it could be a long time before it levels out. When
the Election is concluded. do I think that will be the end of the
discord? Remembering from an old Seinfeld episode, "Not
bloody likely!"?
Meanwhile, the BB Messages still go to Spam. I might read one
rarely before the file gets trashed, but the key word is rarely. If
the irritating discussions continue after the Election, the BB will
stay as Spam! I only read yours because the title appeared to have
something to do with using Satellites versus all that other "stuff".

Steve,
Same my side, just arrived in 3B8.
Will post it back duly filed by registered mail tomorrow but not sure that
it will reach in time, as post services from 3B8 to/from international not
yet back to normal due to COVID.
I really do not understand why AMSAT not doing electronic ballots, are we
still in the old days when paper signature with blood required. Most of my
transactions such banking, tax, insurance, payment of services are made
online. To summarize as a member of AMSAt I may fail to vote in time due to
legacy and probably COVID issues, just a shame when very simple solutions
are available.
I suggest to all candidates for election to look into the matter and promise
a online voting for next election (simple stuff), as if I am not able to
cast my vote in time due to old fashion ways of doing things I will just not
renew my membership to AMSAT-NA as having no way to exercise my rights as a
member.

Moving to electronic balloting would require the BoD to meet - likely
multiple times to discuss and vote on it. Something they seem reluctant
to do lately! Vote accordingly.
