I have a proposal of my own. Here it is.

All General and above become Class As, everyone else becomes a Class B.
Class As get all privileges. Class Bs get 80, 40, 15, 10 and everything
above that, i.e. everything any one of the equivalent licence classes had
before but whole bands, not just subbands. Only Class As could be VEs, and
I would limit Class Bs to 200W, i.e. Novice power level. No other limits,
restrictions, etc. of any kind.

The only losers would be Techs who could no longer run 1500W. I suspect
that few do, and that those who do would have no difficulty passing a
Class A test.

I think that this has the virtue of being more politically acceptable than
Hans' version.

Eeek! Your proposal almost makes it if we were to adoopt a systems such
as what Hans proposes. But I don't think those Technicians would like
losing their licenses after ten years - if they didn't upgrade, of course.
