SB QST @ ARRL $ARLB086
ARLB086 Message content rules
QST de W1AW
ARRL Bulletin 86 ARLB086
From ARRL Headquarters
Newington CT August 6, 1993
To all radio amateurs
The ARRL has filed reply comments continuing in general to support
an FCC Notice of Proposed Rule Making to define the responsibility
for the content of amateur messages relayed by high speed networks,
in PR Docket 93-85.
The League said that those parties who initially commented on the
NPRM generally agreed that (1) the originator and first
store-and-forward station in a data message network are properly
accountable for the content of a message;
(2) that the originator of a message should in all cases be held
responsible for the content of a message, with the first
store-and-forward operator held responsible for either
authentication of the source of the message or the screening of its
content; and
(3) that the definition of "repeater" in the NPRM is overly
confining.
The League once again asked for the rules to include a better
definition of "first forwarder," and of "repeater."
More information will appear in September QST.
