The ARRL was made aware of these issues.  They have chosen to stay out of it.

I don't like that idea either.

You have all this information listed in the FCC database.

Again, FCC database has this.  I'm not sure why QRZ doesn't show it, perhaps
to encourage account creation as they are an advertisement platform.

There was no crime and this is publicly available information. The FRC cannot
promise to keep your information private legally.

At the end of the day more information is on your voter registration than
what's in some repeater records.

Then get involved.  What do you want to see change?

I've been waiting for replies to emails and things I've sent out.  We've had
no movement yet.  As you said "We are all not just hams. We live other lives,
have other jobs."

The ARRL does not want to be involved, I've contacted them.

To make a contract contingent on a party forgoing legal representation is not
legal.  I only was asking for a members roster and the results of the past
four elections from the board.  The fact they refused to provide this to a
member is disgusting.  At that point, what option does one have other than to
retain counsel?
