[Board] Time to schedule

[Michelle Thompson]

This morning I spoke with Kimberly Baum, the Chief Engineer in the
Satellite Division, and based on the outline of our content, she believes
involving OET and the International Satellite Bureau in the meeting would
be a good idea.

Kimbery is going to have CurTrisha Banks get in touch with me about dates
and times.

I know it's challenging with participants in the UK and Australia. I
apologize in advance for what will most likely be an ugly hour for Jan King
and Anshul Makkar.

I emphasized microwave spectrum defense as necessary for the amateur
satellite service, with some specific examples. I think we should have a
list ready to go with additional examples. I cited something we wrote about
in a filing (space-space links at 3GHz) and said 5 GHz, 10 GHz, and 24 GHz
were all necessary for us to be able to move forward with high speed
digital designs.

I stated our position that we accept the challenge and opportunity of full
compliance with Debris Mitigation. I explained that we intend to use the
regulatory relief for public domain carve-out work in ITAR/EAR that we've
achieved over the past year in order to continue a long history of
innovation.

Kimberly said there may be more than one meeting.

I made it clear that we needed and wanted guidance from the FCC on some of
the non-traditional orbital proposals we are working on, and that we were
dedicated to increasing international goodwill, education, and citizen
science with modern engineering and systems work.

It was a brief but productive meeting, and I'm more than relieved to get
the scheduling underway.

Very special thanks to Daryl Hunter (cc'd) who enabled this phone call with
a very nice email introduction to Kimberly Baum.
