For the past year Bart Kus, Cory Johnson, Rob Salsgiver, Doug Kingston, and myself have acted as the board for HamWAN. I have appreciated their work over the past year, and if they choose, I hope to continue doing so this year.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Cory Johnson - Cory has graciously handled HamWAN’s financial and legal filings and reports.

Thank you Cory!<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Bart Kus - Bart continues to put enormous effort into the physical aspects of the network, particularly in his gracious hosting of our site at Haystack, some software projects, as well as acting as an administrator for the Puget Sound network day to day. Thank you Bart!<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Rob Salsgiver - Rob has been a significant driver in terms of organizing what work needs to be done in the network, and making sure it gets taken care of. In addition to that, he has been coming up to speed as a Network Operations member, and has been tackling a number of issues.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Doug Kingston - Doug has been part of a number of big wins for the network over the past year, both in terms of new sites, as well as getting projects done and maintaining existing ones. He has additionally been working on Network Operations and has jumped in to tackle issues that the rest of the team hadn’t been able to get to.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Nigel Vander Houwen - (me) I handle much of our contract work, and record keeping around technical aspects like LoAs, I serve as a day to day network administrator, and have helped deploy and maintain some of the on-network services, occasionally I manage to make a site visit to help out, and I handle things like the email you’re reading now.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I have spoken with Bart, Rob, and Doug with regards to serving on the board again this upcoming year. Rob and Doug have graciously offered to continue serving. Bart has chosen to step away from the Board work and focus on the other aspects of HamWAN and I look forward to our continued work.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>For anyone who wishes to run for the board, please send an email to the mailing list announcing your intention to run (You’ll see mine momentarily as an example). The voting period on your election will end 7 days after your announcement. Duties are not time intensive, and mostly consist of being available for occasional calls to approve expenses, and assisting HamWAN in whichever ways your time and/or skills/knowledge allow.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you all for reading this rather long email, and I hope to work with you all here in this next year.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Nigel Vander Houwen<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<br>PSDR mailing list<br><a href="mailto:PSDR@hamwan.org" target="_blank">PSDR@hamwan.org</a><br><a href="http://mail.hamwan.net/mailman/listinfo/psdr" target="_blank">http://mail.hamwan.net/mailman/listinfo/psdr</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<br>PSDR mailing list<br><a href="mailto:PSDR@hamwan.org">PSDR@hamwan.org</a><br><a href="http://mail.hamwan.net/mailman/listinfo/psdr">http://mail.hamwan.net/mailman/listinfo/psdr</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></blockquote></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
