1: No more automatic renewals. Individuals must retest and
pass all elements required for their license class.


2: The passing score for written exams needs to be raised to 85%.


3: Code elements should be 13 wpm for General, and 20 wpm for Extra.


4: Make the no-code license one year non-renewable.


5. No more "multiple guess" code test. One minute solid copy with
lots of numbers, punctuation, and intentional misspellings


The council of VECs has already eliminated the multiple choice test. Now
it's fill in the blank or get solid copy.
