Announcement: Statement regarding the changes to AllStarLink

11 Mar '21

On the afternoon of 14 February 2021, AllStarLink, Inc. had a members meeting. This meeting was called to discuss several pressing issues regarding actions of the AllStarLink Board of Directors. The former AllStarLink, Inc. (“ASL”) Board of Directors were removed during a membership meeting. An invitation to conduct this meeting was sent to the then current Officers and Board members of ASL and the board acknowledged receipt. Prior to the meeting the board did not contact the member’s representative to object or seek to continue the meeting place or time. At the proposed time the meeting was conducted via Webex. ASL is a Florida Not-for-Profit Corporation, governed by Florida Statute 617 (“FS617”), and the meeting was conducted accordingly. On 14 February 2021, the members meeting started at 1300 Eastern / 1000 Pacific. As none of the former ASL Board of Directors were present, a decision to wait an additional 10 minutes was made. 16 members attended this meeting and an additional 14 proxy votes were assigned by members unable to attend. After the additional 10 minute wait passed, the meeting was called to order by a vote of the members as none of the former ASL Board of Directors were present and/or accounted for. The first motions made were to elect a Chair and Secretary pro-term to conduct the meeting. The Chair pro-term (“Chair”) then accepted the proxies for members unable to attend and proceeded to conduct the meeting. A discussion was had identifying actions of the former ASL Board of Directors conducting business in violation of FS617 and other serious malfeasance. After this discussion and a finding of facts, motions were made to censure and then remove the board which passed by a unanimous vote. Additional actions taken during this meeting: --------------------------------------------- 1. Motions for candidates to serve as Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer forming the new ASL Board of Directors were made and passed by a unanimous vote. 2. A motion to propose, ratify and institute Organizational Bylaws for ASL was made and subsequently approved by a unanimous vote. These are the first Bylaws for ASL and were developed in an open process amongst the members. 3. A motion was made to remove specific volunteers from their position(s) on the technical committee and from any administrative functions within or on behalf of ASL. This motion was additionally approved by a unanimous vote. Effective 14 February 2021, the following former board members were censured and formally removed from their roles as members of the ASL Board of Directors: * Peter Elke, WI6H, President * Timothy Sawyer, WD6AWP, Vice President * Todd Lesser, KM6RPT, Secretary * David Shaw, WB6WTM, Treasurer * Kevin Custer, W3KKC, Director Furthermore, effective 14 February 2021 the following volunteers were formally relieved of their position(s) within the technical committee and from any administration functions of and for ASL: * Andrew Lauppe, NB8P * Adam Paul, KC1KCC * Rob Vella, KK9ROB * Mike Wolthuis, KB8ZGL The actions of 14 February were not taken without deliberate measured contemplation by the members. Due to serious concerns regarding the current state of ASL’s business, administrative, and financial affairs, as well as the unconscionable actions taken by the former ASL Board of Directors, it became apparent that action must be taken to ensure the continued existence, growth and success of the organization. With the adoption of the new Bylaws, ASL has both reaffirmed its purpose and what it means to be a member. In addition ASL has corrected serious deficiencies in the organizational structure intended to prevent the recurrence of such abuse. The ASL Board of Directors looks forward to a renewed and reinvigorated organization that consists of both a multinational board and volunteers to reflect its true global reach. ASL remains committed to safeguarding and ensuring the continued operation of the ASL network, continued development and innovation of app_rpt and related code. In this way we honor and preserve the legacy of the late Jim Dixon, creator of AllStarLink. AllStarLink Board of Directors: ------------------------------- Stacy Olivas, KG7QIN - Chairman Bryan Fields, W9CR - Secretary Jeremy Lincicome, W0JRL - Treasurer Also posted to: https://community.allstarlink.org/t/statement-regarding-the-changes-to-alls…

Re: [App_rpt-users] Reminder: Netiquette (second warning)

All, To clarify. This warning was sent publicly due to the continued mudslinging, harassment, spamming and other behavior that is cited in the post. PeteM's latest message is what triggered this moderation warning. It was done preemptively due to the perceived inflammatory nature of their post. The first warning back in January was not well heeded by certain individuals (of which PeteM is not the only one). Instead of putting them on moderation or banning them, a second public reminder was opted for instead. If these individuals continue to ignore this message they will be put on moderation resulting in all their posts being reviewed for approval. Putting users on moderation is not a decision that is taken lightly or that we wish to do. Several users have asked on occasion for the mudslinging to be taken off list. This has been ignored. Discussions, criticisms, et all are welcome as they are part of the normal discourse of a healthy community. Harassment, mudslinging, spamming, and general disruptive behavior is not. app_rpt-users is a mailing list dedicated to discussing the operational and technical aspects of using the app_rpt software in Asterisk to link radios and repeaters, and to ham radio in general. app_rpt-users IS NOT a list for personal vendettas, grinding of axes, spamming, harassment of other users, trolling, etc. If you feel you cannot be courteous to your fellow hams and abide by the rules, then please unsubscribe. All are welcome to this list as it is a public resource for the community – this includes AllStarLink, PTTLink, and others. It is considered network and system agnostic. The PTTLink Admin Team are the current administrators of this list. However, we realize that this is not the PTTLink list as stated above. It is for that very reason that a separate dedicated PTTLink mailing list was created. Please feel free to reply to this message if you have any further questions or send an email to the helpdesk(a)pttlink.org if you would rather have a private reply. Thank you Signed, The PTTLink Admin Team ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2021 02:29:59 +0000 (UTC) From: PTTLink Admin <admin(a)rt.pttlink.org> To: app_rpt-users(a)lists.keekles.org Subject: Reminder: Netiquette (second warning) The app_rpt-users mailing list is for the benefit of the ham radio community and all members are required to adhere to the usage guidelines at http://lists.keekles.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users. The recent discussions on this list are not in the spirit of the guidelines for operational and technical content discussion. The repeated verbatim cross posting of publicly available statements from other organizations, spamming, harassment, and the back and forth mudslinging are not the type of lively discission this list is meant for. Users who continue to engage in such action may have their posts placed under moderation for review pending release or banned. This is your second and last warning. If you feel this message is in error, please reach out to helpdesk(a)pttlink.org to discuss. Respectfully, PTTLink Admin Team
