Let the informed stealth discussion begin! For those too lazy to click, here is the relevant text

4.1.2 Proposal: Stealth required in nationals if carried. Organizer option in regionals
Long and open discussion of pros and cons culminating in the meeting's only split vote, 3-2. 9B
(Blackburn) requested his strong opposition and 'no' vote be reflected in the minutes. XM (Smith -
not attending) provided "no" vote prior to meeting in writing. XM prefers to keep as organizer
option for another year as Elmira is the only Stealth mandatory datapoint.
Recommendation: Provisional decision to mandate Stealth mode for Nationals only. Revisit in
January. Organizer option for ANY Flarm mode at Regionals - mandatory unrestricted Flarm,
Pilot Option or mandatory Stealth.
UH to coordinate with IGC/UK efforts to revise Stealth mode to increase level of situational
awareness and flexibility of action for high-altitude, high-speed, head-to-head traffic conflict
scenarios (common in strong western conditions). 60-seconds of lead time was suggested as a
target. Provide access to FlarmID or FlarmNet CN in order to preempt conflict and/or coordinate
evasive action is these scenarios.

Important points to notice:

Revisit in January, and all rules proposals are finalized when presented to SSA board of directors. RC is a reasonable bunch, they listen to personal emails (written politely) and RAS (politeness is a lost cause on RAS, but helps your point get through). If you're really steamed, you can also write your SSA director.

Even the RC is conflicted, with a 3-2 vote.

Indeed, the plan includes an effort to rewrite stealth in time for 2016 competitions.
