Even though this is a hobby, Jamie is a professional in the news gathering business.
Having listened to his presentations for years, I find him to be a straight shooter.

I dont see anything wrong with contesters expressing their opinion to their representatives at any time. Even if an official vote is not pending.

This is NOT a secret at this point. It's being discussed on reflectors all over the country .

Debate is healthy. In the SECC's case there is a lot of history and people can't keep the personal stuff out of the discussion.

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.
