I am not going to weigh in on this topic at the moment except to point out that some keep stressing to keep disagreement within the “Board Family”; meanwhile a staff member that is not part of the “Board Family” has been copied on the discussion…
(I have deleted them from this reply. Do not take this email as intending anything against that person.)

Dick,
Until a compromise is embodied in something permanent, it remains fragile. If CAI were to feel that ARRL is not committed to the compromise, it might decide that it cannot be trusted, and opt out of the agreement. Legislators becoming aware of dissension might reach similar conclusions. Those operating on behalf of the Parity Act have enough to do without fighting a rear-guard operation created by ourselves.
This is not to say that there should never be disagreement within the Board, just that it needs to remain "in the family," as Chris has pointed out.
