Hello Rosy and Phil,
... ARDC's second paid employee.
Perhaps in future... job advertisments could be:
1. openly advertised 2. include eg. "successful applicants will be required to hold an amateur radio license of level X (or above) before taking up the post"
This gives plenty of leeway, including ARDC supporting training courses; or canditates choosing to self-study in parallel to application to be able to start quicker.
It would save the necessity to (repeatedly) address the "elephant in the room" every time another trustee/employee minus a ham licence is added. (ie. same as for a driving licence, working permit, etc.)
... we see ARDC as not being just about ham radio, ... as we move from being a small charity to a large grant-making foundation.
Regardless of "we", the charitable foundation states:
] The specific purpose for which the corporation has been formed is to ] support, maintain, preserve and enhance the mission of the Amateur ] Packet Radio Network. ...

ie. OCP = long-term custodianship of shared community resources (for the greater good); verses Phylos = monetising shared community resource, focusing all on the money, but forgetting the foundation.
(ADRC is custodian of US$0.25+ Billion in tangible +non-tangibles).
... please expect updates and reports from me. ... If there are community resources
Awesome! Most of the (openly) known information about AMPR vs. ARDC history are cited at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMPRNet#References
This can be expanded as a long-term resource---when more documentation is (openly) known/shared,
