Firstly, I think the reason they didn't go for a memorandum report and

don't care about amateur radio, period.

The "they" is really one individual, the specialist who has to
start the ball rolling by drafting the new rules and the discussion
and justification therefor, and AFAIK the current incumbent in that
slot is an active amateur. After that, his job is to sell it up the
ladder, where ham radio is on the bottom of the totem pole, and he
may see that there is a barrier upstream of him and may be doing
nothing because of that. Were it me, I'd have the rules and the
text all ready to go in my wordprocessor files by now.

I knew it was one person, but didn't know he was a ham. I still don't think
the FCC as a whole gives a fig for ham radio.
