I seriously doubt that they will give *any* reasons in the FAQ. The
FAQ will simply be more "Newington Knows Best" and the Golden Rule
(SCS has the gold so they make the rules).

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.
