Anyone is certainly entitled to discuss their opinions, and it’s great that you (and I’m sure many others in this thread) know AOIIs. However, I don’t see the point of attempting to speculate on the collective will of a membership that one is not a part of. I would give your organizations the same respect. If you know an AOII who is unhappy, encourage her to approach her sisters about this.
Any "respectful discussion" ought to have occurred BEFORE such a measure was finalized. And as others have mentioned, optics matter.
