Now, perhaps, the FCC can act on all these NPRMs - bandplan, symbol rates, etc. Are these people aware of amateur radio? Is there any history that might reveal their biases?

ODV,
Indeed, the White House just now announced the below nominations. President Biden also designated Commissioner Rosenworcel as FCC Chair, effective immediately.
Attached is the press release.

ODV,
A little political update. While not yet officially announced, I have it on good authority that key Congressional staff are being briefed that President Biden intends to nominate acting FCC Chairwomen Rosenworcel to a new term at the FCC and to designate her as permanent Chairwoman. Gigi Sohn, a long-time communications policy activist and advisor to former Chairman Wheeler, is said to be in line to be nominated for the other vacant Democratic seat. (Gigi has a side gig hosting a podcast on communications and tech issues that is available here: https://glenecho.libsyn.com/.)
Rosenworcel must leave the Commission when Congress adjourns in December when the statutory extension of her current term expires, but the betting is that she will be re-confirmed by the Senate before adjournment.
