Maybe they want you to reject the idea - so call their bluff.

What is the alternative, other than a painful descent into a break-up of the FRA?
I'd certainly be for sitting down away from the hullabaloo. I'm "with the FRA" in terms of races but against them in terms of their approach to the ROs pack.
I'd welcome the opportunity to have a proper discussion.

I agree with AI that a meeting between 3-4 people is not the way.

The way to do it is to have a wider audience of ROs and committee so that both sides can see a critique that isn't perhaps as entrenched.
It might help all see things with a little more clarity.
