If I read the guideline (is a guideline a rule?) correctly, a multi-op group
MAY, but isn’t REQUIRED to, operate in a “distributed” fashion.
I share the puzzlement of why this was driven by off-shore players, without a
whisper on W/VE-centric channels or contest clubs.

John,
That's not really a very good analogy. A rule like this isn't really
enforceable. How do you prove someone is conducing their multi-op in
this way? We all know COVID is a much debated issue. Their are many
that think it's all a hoax and don't follow social distancing guidelines
and others that take it seriously that do. I really think they should
revert back to the current multi-op rules. Another way is to just
suggest that you do you multi-op in this fashion and not make it an
actual rule. If the ARRL won't budge then just don't allow multi-ops.
