I will agree, so as not to confuse the masses, that "requested comments"
from members and nonmembers on the proposal probably would have been a
better choice of words than to use something like "they polled their
members" for comments.

Now this is just a typical ARRL attitude. Note the condescension of the
phrase "so as not to confuse the masses." It would seem to me that
neither of the definitions so patronizingly quoted from the dictionary
are met by "requesting comments."
