Actually, I hope folks understand and recall that AMSAT's mission and vision statement was changed a few years ago.

So there isn't a program underway to replace AO-40.
That happened at an annual meeting and was voted on by paid members as I recall. Or maybe it was done by Board members elected by paid members. I honestly forget.
This list, obviously, remains open to members and non-members alike. That too is a conscious decision by the organization.
