2.) WISPA will administratively be conservative. The board has discussed ways to keep overhead expenses to a minimum. This first year will be a lean one we are sure. We need to make the most out of each dollar that we raise from the membership.

3.) WISPA will become more active in trade shows and symposiums. Our first venture will be participate in the ECExpo in Denver and then to partner with CWLab's WISPNOG symposium in February.

4.) WISPA will use creative methods to give tangible value to each member's dues. Some of this may be by sponsor coupons and hopefully by year end, some sort of group buying discounts for members, all the while using the funds to produce positive lobbying efforts with Congress and the FCC for our industry.

5.) We see more expanded mailing lists topics that will focus certain traffic only to those who wish to subscribe. While diluting the main list membership, it hopefully will make sorting the "want to reads" and the "don't want to reads" more efficient. We would also like to entertain an "ask the vendor" type list where WISPs can ask questions directly to the various vendors/manufacturers and all can benefit from the knowledge base of answers.

6.) WISPA can partner with other trade associations that have similar goals and interests to increase the size of the lobbying force in matters that concern all of us.

7.) WISPA should consider hiring a staff including a manager that can devote their entire day to dealing with WISPA functions. Initially this could be in the form of a management company who specializes in managing trade associations. I know there are several interested. This will take a lot of pressure off of the elected board and should keep the gears lubricated and running much more smoothly. Once we get an idea what kind of membership numbers we will end up with, this decision can be made.

8.) WISPA should actively make press releases to highlight the wireless industry as a feasible solid broadband source and should endorse other WISP supporting information services such as Wireless Tech Radio, WISPCentric (Wisp directory), WISPNOG and others. It is essential that we market our industry just like the American Dairy Association did with "We Got Milk!"

9.) WISPA should begin discussions with either, Jon Price and ISPCON or even make another attempt to merge efforts with Michael Anderson and Part-15, to begin organizing a WISPA trade show. Maybe WISPNOG will even become a format that more WISPs prefer. In any case, I believe WISPA should at least consider endorsing events that support our industry and our members. I do not personally believe in burning bridges as they may be needed in the future.

10.) Further focus on the setting of goals with semi-annual reviews of those goals. In our current rapid changing technological world, our current goals may become outdated very quickly.

11.) Begin to organize committees who will diligently work on various duties that the board needs assistance with. Although some of this committee organization can wait until the official board is selected, some of the original recruitment can begin happening soon. It is being suggested that the WISPNOG event will be a good time to start forming some of these committees and recruiting members for those committees.

12.) WISPA will begin seeking more meetings with FCC Commissioners and various Congressmen that may hold positions that will influence the telecommunications law of the future.

13.) WISPA should endorse a program in which WISPs invite their congressmen and senators to visit their operations and see the good things that are happening "down on the farm" to introduce broadband to rural areas. Just because the FCC knows what is happening doesn't mean that our representatives in government understand.

14.) WISPA should endorse statewide meetings to bring WISPs together to discuss various opportunities as well as solve issues amongst themselves on a more local basis.

15.) WISPA members should read the Code of Ethics (found on the WISPA homepage) and begin to live by them.
