Here's item 51 (with my underlining):
WHEREAS the Board of Directors has received *_inquiries_***concerning RM
-11708 (the symbol rate petition); and
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.
