Many of you will have read with concern reports regarding the "expulsion" of members from the WIA.
In the history of the WIA, to the board's knowledge, no one has been expelled.
The WIA received a petition from several members seeking the removal of individuals from the WIA under clause 5.7 of its Constitution.
The challenge for the WIA when responding to a petition of this nature is that it relates to a conflict between core values of individual members.
The board met on the 16th of May to consider this matter. The board has made no decision with respect to the petition. Instead, the board has adjourned the discussion.
Any alternative remedy to the petition before the board must be aligned with the spirit of amateur radio and the Radio Amateur's Code.
Consistent with the commitment to transparency the board will keep members informed of the progress of this matter to the extent possible without offending the privacy of those involved.
Can you please forward this on to your club members to let them know.
