ARRL Board Political Disqualification, Code of Conduct, and Censure Activity



Reply by Norton to Imlay - Complaints were about actions, not a personal attack. Imlay response included

Mr Imlay,

I have been elected by the membership of the Southwestern Division to represent their interests and in also my view, the interests of Amateur Radio. The League is clearly a political organization, and politics may not be a good match for those whose sensitivities might be hurt by calling out damage they might create with their actions.

Mr. Imlay, my concern was with your actions. My complaints were about withholding important information critical to performing my fiduciary duties, and then playing a key role in what appears to be misrepresentation of "legal advice" for political means.

Your, your co-conspirators, and allies mis-characterization of my complaints as being a personal attack might be a way of diverting attention from the serious issues raised. Rest assured that the views expressed are not unique to me.

The League should operate with open, honest discussion of issues involved. Withholding information, inventing stories, misrepresenting facts, and attempting to prevent your opposition from being heard is antithetical to my concept of good government, and those engaging in any of those practices should expect to be called out.

73,

Dick Norton, N6AA

You have made your position quite clear. All such statements have consequences Mr. Norton. You would be well-advised to remember that.
