Many NET volunteers consider this move for personal reasons that impact their availability (don't have as much time as they used to, health concerns, etc).

A NET wishing to move to ATV status should take the following actions: | |||
# '''Inform the NET Team Leader:''' The NET should first inform their TL that they plan to downshift to ATV status, whether they plan for that status change to be permanent or temporary, and what their declared VSF will be.

NET | NET volunteers often meet neighbors who want to be part of their NET's mission, but do not have the time and/or inclination to complete Basic NET Training. Having them sign up as an ATV is ideal in this situation. NETs will find these neighbors have specific skills or interests that correspond well to VSFs. For example, a medical professional who lives in the area is ideally suited to enlist under [[VSF 08: Medical & Mental Health|VSF 08]]. A neighbor with a HAM license (or who wants to get one) should enlist under VSF 02. And so on. | ||
