I was involved early when many of us opposed MOC for any of the specialties. We were told that "forces" required this to be done (never clear) and, like many (but not all) boards we "started" the MOC requirement for those who were certified in the year after the last-certified person on our committee. (What an amazing coincidence.) Few would question that the doctors on that committee that are still practicing are some of the best out there -- I expect no one has ever asked them whether they are subject to MOC because no one cares because it has, literally, no value. So this is a wonderful crusade you are leading. Having said that, others have tried before. The politics tends toward "more control of anyone we don't like, like doctors" and the money is large -- I hope you succeed but expect you will not, sadly.
