<div>Hello Everyone,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>It’s been a year since our current board
members were elected, so it’s time for new
elections.</div>

<div>
<div>As a quick recap for folks that haven’t

year.</li>
<li>Any supporting member is eligible to
vote for board members.</li>
<li>Any supporting member is eligible to run

<li>There is no limit on the number of board

<li>There is a minimum number of 3 board

</div>
<div>I’d like to thank everyone for contributing to
the project, and helping us grow. We’ve seen a
handful of new members added this year, in
addition to quite a few new non-member users/orgs.
This speaks greatly to the massive efforts of a
number of folks in the project doing installs,
giving presentations, and talking about HamWAN.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We’ve seen a lot of great progress over the
past year, not to mention a number of new users on
the network. Here’s a small sampling of some of
the things accomplished over the past year.</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<ul
class="gmail-m_2775414336793597916gmail-m_5775270113388008860MailOutline">
<li>Quite a handful of new Network Operations
folks have been brought on, and are quickly
tackling issues and making improvements.
Thanks team!</li>
<li>A couple visits to our Capitol Park site
saw new backbone links installed, sector
upgrades, and additional batteries in case
of power outage.</li>
<li>Phone adoption has been taking off
considerably with ACS and other emergency
services folks on board.</li>
<li>Gear installed at Buck</li>
<li>Gear installed at Beacon Hill</li>
<li>Gear installed at Larch</li>
<li>Work at the Seattle EOC</li>
<li>Upgrade work at Snohomish County DEM</li>
<li>Upgrade work at Haystack</li>
<li>Upgrade and repair work at Gold</li>
<li>New edge router at FMT as a partial
replacement for Tukwila, which gives us
internet facing redundancy</li>
<li>Aiming visit to Baw Faw</li>
<li>Probably a bunch more that I forgot or
managed to scroll past in my emails.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>All of these things and more have been the
results of massive efforts of a whole lot of
people this year. Thanks to every one of you for
making this happen. HamWAN is entirely volunteer
driven which makes such an enormous undertaking
even more remarkable. Whether your contribution
was in time onsite tightening bolts, or with a
few dollars that helps us buy new modems and
dishes, it’s all been valued. Thank you.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, to the final point. It’s time to vote
again on the board directors. 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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>Cory Johnson - Cory has graciously handled
HamWAN’s financial and legal filings and
reports. I’m incredibly grateful for his
efforts. Thank you Cory!</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>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!</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you all for reading this rather long
email, and I hope to work with you all here in
this next year.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
