You can copy the FAA, the EAA, all the Directors, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph if
you wish. I've been making similar suggestions for over twenty years. If
you get a "thanks for your input" you will have gotten more than I.

The Ripon-Fisk approach is the stupidest idea in town, yet the EAA/FAA are
married to it because they invented it. To do something else is to admit
that there has always been a better way and none of the "in crowd" thought
of it first. There are a dozen better ways to do it, and all you need to do
is put Tom and every director in a small light aircraft AS THE COPILOT WHO
CAN'T GET THEIR HANDS ON THE CONTROLS every day at noon for a week and have
them see the Ripon approach procedure as a helpless passenger. THEN see how
fast it changes.

Jay, an excellently written description.
Send this to the FAA and copy EAA.
Copy all the EAA directors, also.
