I think the proposal is on AG4RQ's website.

I believe it also proposes NO public question pools and
a 10 day waiting period before retesting a failed element.


You are correct, sir! Thanks for the reminder.

Neither of these are likly at all.


The 10 day wait is possible but not likely. How could it be enforced?

With the internet today, questions
will become public regardless of any effort to not publish them


Agreed. All it would take is one VE who wanted to make them public.

Also, someone would have to rewrite the entire existing Q&A pools. Who is going
to bell that cat?

and
as for a waiting period on retesting, I can see no "same day"
retesting, but anything beyond that becomes an administrative
pain in the butt for VECs and FCC.


FCC won't do it.

The only way I could see it happening would be for there to be
some sort of "clearinghouse" where all the VEs would send their
records for comparison. The clearinghouse would keep the last
10-11 days' worth of records and look for the same person taking
the same test less than 10 days apart, and pass it on to FCC.

Sun will rise in the west on the day that happens!

What *could* be implemented is "no retest at the same VE session" but that's
about it.
