Continuing to send letters will help fix the system.

People listened. We may not have gotten what the "pro-Process" folks wanted, but higher ups did listen to the support for Jake/Kirk/Scott/Andy and there is (in my view) a new attitude about the ITAC/CRB relationship.

We had a lot of sometimes momentus change the last few years, all good in my view. Maybe a period of cooling off is needed, and that might appear directionless.

I do think the next "big step" for us is to figure out what we want the category to look like overall. To me, I think it is:

a. A category using an objective formula to set weights, and we need to convince the CRB that things like displacement or looking at cars with similar architecture are just POOMAs taht we need to avoid.

b. Define IT core philosophies. Allow membership significant leeway in rule changes that do not affect them (think water bottle, motor mounts, etc.). Draw hard and fast line with proposed changes that do.
