No hard feelings. That's your prerogative. I do disagree, of course. For the benefit of others, I'd like to illustrate some of the contributions I've made in the last year. Call it my HamWAN resume if you will. * I've driven with the team up a number of mountains, both to tower sites and on scouting rides (So many hunters, so few Elk) * Wrote one of the early drafts of our founding documents * Attended meetings (while we were having them) regularly * Helped transport, assemble, and run the booth at last year's Mike and Key Hamfair * Helped represent HamWAN at the APRS meetup * Provided ground support for tower climbs * Even spent a bit of time on the lower half of some towers * Did a great deal of research * Managed HamWAN's github repo * Did a small amount of initial marketing with a Twitter account and by pimping HamWAN on Reddit * Advocated for securing access to the network by using IPSec AH sans crypto * Proposed a new design for an improved antenna testing system which I believe Bart is now building * Helped assemble the microwave lab (that gear is heavy!) * Planned the HamWAN mountaintop snow picnic and grill ;) And of course I've served as one of the founding directors and voted as such. I'm not sure this list is complete. It's been a long and busy year for HamWAN! On Fri, Feb 14, 2014 at 7:21 PM, Bart Kus <me@bartk.us> wrote:

Sorry, Ben. I gotta vote Nay.

I know you wish the project well, but I just did not see enough of a time commitment the last 1.5 years, or delivery of the things which you had on your plate. I'd be happy to vote yay down the line if you do kick it into high gear though.

I too am announcing my intention to hold a Director position on the HamWAN board. I am pleased with the direction that HamWAN is heading, and I intend to continue to providing time and material support for the organization. If anyone has any questions for me, feel free to fire away online or off. I am setting my voting period as beginning now and ending in 7 days.

And yes, I vote yay to approve my nomination. :)
