Minutes:
Bylaws. The following changes have been proposed.
There are currently 6 board members. A minimum
of 4 board members must be present to conduct
business.
Guest membership will be extended to include
family members of Nokia employees and the
spouse of a Nokia employee.
The process for becoming a member will be
modified. A guest membership will initially
be conveyed to a person submitting a completed
application form. After which time the membership
committee will review the application. Upon
approval, the membership status may be changed
to a full membership, assuming the applicant
meets the criteria for a full membership.
The Vice President will no longer automatically
be the chair of the membership committee.
The President will appoint the chair.
Monthly Meeting. A motion was made that Esa
create a questionnaire to determine the best
time/day/frequency for club meetings. The
club members will also be asked if they are
members of the ARRL. The motion was seconded
and passed.
Funding. A motion was made that an equipment
fund be started. The fund will accept money
and equipment. The motion was seconded and
passed. Mike Sundstrom brought an ICOM IC-735
for the club to consider purchasing from
him for $475. The following
pledges were made to the equipment fund:
Mike Sundstrom $100, Andy Kapushoc $50, Colin
Buckup $50, Joe Isabella $50, Esa Korhonen
$100. A motion was made by Colin that the
club purchase the radio from Mike, with the
balance of $125 outstanding. The motion was
seconded and passed.
Newsletter. It was decided that the quickest
and most economical format for a start-up
newsletter is via email (maybe PDF). Colin
will seek copyright © re-print permission
from various sources.
Board member formalization. The current board
is an interim board. A motion was made that
the interim board become the formal board.
The motion was seconded and passed. Esa will
appoint a Chief Operator.
