Re: tips like using “The Commission,” establishing standing with your callsign, establishing credibility with your address...

I looked everywhere for a collection of FCC comment best practices for Delete, Delete, Delete. The best thing I found was this, but I wish there was a ham radio version: https://publiccommentproject.org/how-to

I note the ARRL provides lots of "help" for navigating the FCC's websites for getting licensed. Why not guides with definitive, professional recommendations on how to make effective comments on amateur radio-related dockets?

Steve, I echo your desire to have some kind of standards tracking body within the hobby. I think that interoperability should be preferred, but obviously if the nature of the experimentation just doesn't make it technically feasible, that's not a huge deal. But I think that honestly some effort should be made to 'untie' (unite) the dyslexic hobby that is Amateur Radio and that some sort of tracking body might help that. There are so many parallel efforts, of which some do have honest novel ideas, but some of which might be better served by pulling together. And I think a lot of it is due to simply not being aware of these parallel efforts.
