EX should stand on its own, as a seperate organization.

The L3CC comittee IS growing slowly, but I've yet to hear that its size is
an obstacle to any one getting their L3.

TRA overreacted, NAR did not. Where was the paperwork for decertifying USR
motors by TRA? Where is the required delay accuracy data from TRA. In fact
WHERE IS THE DATA FOR ANY OF THE MOTORS TRA CERTIFIED WITH A STROKE OF A
PEN? How did they certify three dozen motors of assorted delays with only
two dozen test firings.

I'm not aware of this being policy. No such motors have been submitted to
NAR. Even TRA won't certify infinitely adjustable motors, as each value
certified must be tested for compliance with the specs.
