I won't argue your point that the MEC/NC knew of this issue before they sent us this POS LOA. However, I was at the meeting, listened to ALL the discussion and comments, and agreed that at this time not to reject this enhancement. I may be totally screwed up with my view of this situation at this time (and my vote) but the majority of members who ALSO heard all the discussion voted the same way. You're wrong if you think the process is broken because we're afraid to OFFEND somebody. The process is broken because of the bylaws and how they say things must work, a totally outdated means of communication, and a meeting process that limits input to basically only LOCAL members.
