I agree with Sennadog. Contacting newspapers and politicians could well cause more (unpredictable) problems than it solves. The meeting is next week. Let us use that time to ensure that the attendees of the meeting (Mike and Russell and NATS and the CAA) are aware of our views.
However, we do not want a fragmented set of opinions which are hard to implement. IMHO the best action this week is a simple email to the parties which supports the proposals as written in the Telecall website.
It seems to me that both NATS and CAA want to sort out the problem and we should help them put the main fixes in place quickly. Fine tuning can be done later.
If the GA community is not happy with the result of the meeting, there will be plenty of views aired on this forum about what to do next.
