I think it will be appropriate that one of our top technical minds rebut
each and every FAQ response with reasoned, documented and respectful
arguments (where appropriate). The arguments should be short and sweet,
with an addendum explaining each in detail.
Their FAQ will finally give us their arguments for this ill-advised
proposal, allowing us to rebut each one.

Here's item 51 (with my underlining):
WHEREAS the Board of Directors has received *_inquiries_***concerning RM

WHEREAS it is imperative that the Board of Directors *_inform_* our
membership in a uniform and comprehensive manner;
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the ARRL Board of Directors instructs staff to
immediately
prepare a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), along with
*_their_* answers concerning RM-11708 and place these FAQ onto
arrl.org with a *_static_* link on the home page for the pendency of
RM-11708
------------------------
"Inquiries" is not the best word to define disagreements and
suggestions. Opponents are not *asking* for anything other than a
delay in any rule making in this area. Perhaps we should post some
FAQs too.
"Inform" us ignorant digital types. Not a give-and-take atmosphere
here. It's imperial, errr... imperative.
"Their" answers. Well, maybe out of context, but the answers
certainly will be theirs... but who are they /really/?
"Static". I love this. Unchanging in the conservative sense,
listening to no one's concerns, or the interference that static often
causes.
Item 47 goes hand in hand with item 51, showing a complete disregard
for two way communication. Oh, isn't that what amateur radio is all
about (except for W1AW).

The board of directors minutes are out at
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/ODV/January%202014%20minutes%20FINAL.pdf
Rm11708 items are item 47 and 51. Interesting to see the NO votes
listed in
#47.
