Hello all,

I just got back tonight from several days of meetings
in Washington.

Wed. when I arrived in Washington, one of the first things
I did was file NCI's Petition for Rulemaking with the FCC.

It is available in .pdf format at http://www.nocode.org
under the "Articles" link ...

Some will undoubtedly say "What took you so long?"

The answer is simply "We wanted to do the best possible
job of getting it right."

Well-written petition. I personally oppose it, but it is well-written with
what might be considered a logical rationale giving all of the
justifications for the NCI position. It deserves a chance to be considered,
in my opinion, and I hope that the FCC does issue a call for comments. They
probably will not, believing that the recent reduction to very-slow-code (5
wpm) was a good compromise, i.e. not acceptable to either side. And, it is
very recent. Having said that, I would hope that whatever the outcome, we
should accept it and quit trying to change the law. This requirement
certainly has had a good and lengthy hearing and additional work on this
item is just a waste of time.

It is said that Isaac Newton spent the majority of his career trying to find
the exact displacement of Noah's ark; in his spare time he discovered
gravity.
