[Ground-station] Call for Input - meeting with legal team about ITAR/EAR results

[Michelle Thompson]

Yes, that's fair to say.

The question about what counts as public has been clarified.

This is a big step forward, greatly reduces risk, and provides a framework
and reference for wider use.

The challenges specific to amateur radio and amateur satellite were known
about and incorporated into the work from the beginning. For example,
deliberately including encryption instead of taking the easier road and
leaving it out. Leaving it out would have greatly weakened the results and
incompletely covered privileges under part 97.

There are legitimate critiques of and limitations on this work. I'm
motivated to find them and address them in future work and filings.
