Well, I've said this before, but until the ARRL removes the "A" for
advisory from the committee names, we're stuck. These are the
individuals who should be making these decisions. I seriously
challenge the staff and directors of the ARRL to assert the position
that they are more knowledgeable then these representatives,
supposedly the best in the field.
The last time I checked, Canada was NOT the 51st State. I would simply
tell them that Canada will decide what their sections are named, and
if they don't like it, well too bad.
As for the "ARRL rep", mentioned, I think it high time to name these
individuals,
rather than let them hide behind the facade of the ARRL.
And if I get dinged for submitting "YT", well, I will consider it a
vote in honor of our best friends in the world.
