Actually, the CAC task on the ARRL DX Contest was mentioned in their annual
report to the Board of Directors in January 2011. The report is available on
the ARRL website (search on Contest Advisory Committee). NS3T just paid
attention and reported on it.

The CAC task was uncovered by Jamie NS3T for his blog. I fear that asking
Directors to vote on this when they may be unaware of the task or the task
is just a fact finding mission could cause a problem.
Each Advisory committee is assigned a task by ARRL HQ or at times a task may
come from a field inquiry (this happened with the DXAC). A task is supposed
to remain in secret until a report is submitted by the chairman of the
advisory committee. Then Dave NN1N and ARRL HQ will act to do nothing,
agree , or go in an entirely different direction. Please remember the key
word here is "Advisory."
Any action that is at the task level is premature.
