That is why both groups should be held accountable for their actions. It
should be made clear to all involved, board and FAI team that "this is not
to happen again".

Bob, please explain how this is any different from the FAA granting
waivers of the regs which prohibit high power rocket launches? In both
cases the org is authorizing -- under specific, limited conditions --
an activity which would normally be prohibited. If the FAA can do it,
why can NAR?
