Will NCARB implement an elected body of Candidates
There seems to be major disconnect between NCARB and the people actually taking these exams. It seems to me that we need a union, because we have all the money and supply all the labor, and yet NCARB has all the power and will go so far as to shut off a comment thread (or in my case- delete and suspend my commenting privileges) when they feel uncomfortable confronting their inadequacy. In most cases, when you have a repeat rebellion, the people in charge of bad decisions would have to resign or at least be relocated. But due to NCARB's lack of transparency (that other regulation boards don't have) this situation keeps happening.
If we were to make our own union complete with representatives, would NCARB implement it when making decisions about our well being? We proposed this a few months ago (fell on deaf ears) and here we are again- with the same issues. What do we have to do to have you guys listen to us in a constructive way? Seriously. I'm tired of this. What needs to be done to be heard and considered?
It's a piece of paper and a pen. Why do we have to fight you guys over a piece of paper and a pen? This very basic piece of the human condition- how do you think it's ok to take away?

It looks like Michael Armstrong is the CEO of two companies- NCARB and this other company that supplies all the tech for NCARB. In one, he has to disclose his 450k a year salary (because NCARB is nonprofit) but this other? I'm not finding how much he or senior staff makes. And there's a lot of people on both boards.
This explains why we can't get them to fix the test crashing- that costs money.
This explains why these exams are so confusing to decipher- our failure is their success
This explains why they refuse to give us a basic human right- pen and paper! Because it cost them money to make and will make it harder for us to pass for SEVERAL reasons highlighted across hundreds of comments.
Now explain to me how this isn't a major conflict of interest? Explain how this exam isn't designed to be failed and is therefore a poll tax?
Disclaimer: screenshotting all comments because now NCARB has gone to great lengths to delete comments that highlight Michael Armstrong and senior staff's conflict of interest. I did not violate your little terms. It's a truth.
Oh and your CEO needs to resign. And if you knew about this Nick, you should go too.
