Why not both?  I do not know of an *organization* with the influence
that ARRL wields (primarily by default) with the FCC and I doubt that
the Commission staff who will decide this matter for the Commissioners
are likely to disregard any "new organization".  However, if there is
a cogent proposal from a group of experts *along with* comments from
a large number of individuals who are singing from the same hymnal,
perhaps the Commission staff will get the idea that ARRL have been
hijacked by commercial interests (particularly if SailMail.org files
their typical comments in support of the ARRL's boondoggle).

73,
