The rule change proposals were developed by the VHF Contesting subcommittee
of the Membership Services Committee, and were widely posted by K1KI
on behalf of the committee.  You can read them here:

To my knowledge, neither the subcomittee, the MSC, nor the ARRL BoD
have actually posted any follow up to this; although, given that the 
Board of Directors met this past weekend, we may hear news soon.

Eliminating the June contest was not proposed.  There were several 
proposed changes that would apply to the June contest, however.
