You say..."I am saying that there has to be some compensation for BPP..." but you also say .."however you cannot reasonably expect to be paid BPP if RA65 is in everbodys contract."

I would imagine there is agreement on the first of your comments and the second would be a complex legal argument worthy of an additional thread (but please don't)

However, in a nutshell your 2 quotes have identified the problem with the funding. The AOA is putting it's money behind the argument RA55 is discriminatory and there is a fair chance that if that argument prevails: BPP will disappear. So what has happened to the compensation you speak of.... collateral damage, acceptable loss??

The membership should be asked; What policy do they want RA65 or BPP? (you can't have both). The funding of the Litigation is effectively making that decision through the backdoor; no discussion, debate, let alone a vote.
