RE: DIVISION CONFERENCING TEST -- REGULATORY WEBINAR
Dear GLD member,
* Response to poll.
* Invitation to try one conferencing method.
* Let me know your view of the method.
Some 450 members responded to my request concerning interest in holding division conferences electronically. The response was about 20-to-1 in favor of giving this a try. Thanks to all for sharing your thinking.
Thanks to a fellow director, we have an opportunity to try out one form of conferencing. The system involved is the Webinar. It involves logging into a special web site (to receive conference video on your computer screen) and calling into a telephone conference (to receive the voice discussions), Admittedly, the telephone call may involve a toll fee unless you have unlimited long distance service through your provider.
Director Bill Edgar of the Atlantic Division is holding a Webinar this Saturday, June 14. The subject is FCC Amateur Radio Regulations. The leader of the discussion is Dan Henderson, ND1Q the ARRL HQ Regulator guru. You will have the opportunity to have your questions answered. The time of the Webinar is from 11 AM-12 Noon.
Bill has extra space in the Webinar and has invited members of the GLD to participate. Instructions on doing this are provided, below. Please be aware that there is a limit to the number of people who can be served in a Webinar; therefore, if you are interested in seeing how this works, you should reserve your space by registering as soon as possible. If you participate, please let me know how you feel about us using this form of conferencing to serve our division.
