Yes, Kay is correct and we talked about
NFCC and FCC.

Doc #26 Narrowband Study Committee Report
I’ll
let Greg speak for himself, as the committee chair. However, a concern was to
prevent the repeater coordinator community from getting their undies in a bunch
because they tend to distrust the ARRL and to believe that we want to take over
their jobs and make a mess of things. Also a concern was to discourage any
industry efforts to badger the committee to endorse specific brands of gear. By
keeping the initial part of the committee’s work within the Board,
Directors could be informed about the issues (historical, technical, and
sociological) without pressure from conspiracy-theorist coordinators or from
self-interested equipment industry folks. The next steps, whatever the
Directors decide those should be, ought to be taken in an atmosphere of
transparency. Maybe the Board will decide to release this report to the public
as a step in that direction after you’ve absorbed the info and thought it
over together.
