I don't have the answers but we should now think of a few things that come
to mind as we move forward.
1.) Security to this list (my customers can join along with anyone else)
Paid WISPA Principle Members have a members only list server called
[EMAIL PROTECTED] It is not open to anyone other than paid WISPA Principle
Members. We keep this wireless@wispa.org list open to the public to
attract new membership by allowing them to see what we are working on to
some degree. Issues we do not want exposed to outside world are
generally discussed in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list server. So the long and
short of it is this, we plan to leave this list open for now and keep
the paid membership list for members only.
2.) Frequent meetings
The board meets via IRC at least once a month. In person meetings are
not feasible with only 47 paid members. We do have some in person
meetings of members at the FCC headquarters when they meet to discuss
issues with FCC regarding our industry. I would like to see us do this
more. It takes money. I would like to have at least one nice formal
meeting a year with all members and we may do this at some point. It is
common for WISPA members to arrange to meet at shows and such. Until we
get more than 47 paid members it is unlikely WISPA will be hosting many
in person meeting events.
3.) We need formality and a great deal of lobbying for WISP.
Lobbying can be extremely expensive. The costs for what work we have
done at the FCC and Senate have largely been subsidized out of pocket by
members who want to help. We need more members in this organization.
Paid members that is. If you or anyone you know has not paid your dues
then fill out the form at http://signup.wispa.org and we will get you
invoiced for your dues and set you up in WISPA. Good post, Rudy.
