It would save the necessity to (repeatedly) address the "elephant in the room" every time another trustee/employee minus a ham licence is added.

OCP = long-term custodianship of shared community resources (for the greater good); verses Phylos = monetising shared community resource, focusing all on the money, but forgetting the foundation. (ADRC is custodian of US$0.25+ Billion in tangible +non-tangibles). Awesome! Most of the (openly) known information about AMPR vs. ARDC history are cited at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMPRNet#References This can be expanded as a long-term resource---when more documentation is (openly) known/shared, -Paul
