No.
Not caving in.
The APA and ABA are the exhibition poultry governing body's in the US and Canada. They have rules, if a person doesn't like the rules, there is a process to have them changed. But. ..you have to be an APA /ABA member. This particular situation is only the APA situation. This "caving " means that you would rather not go by established rules and terminology, but change the rules and not even join the organization or go through the appropriate steps.
I don't understand.
