My answer is based on the 28 years I've known him, the one time I slept on his couch, and the fact that I often heard -- from him -- that he was working on this. Having mental health challenges in my own family, I repeatedly encouraged his on-going efforts to get this done.

Also, do you think a policy change like this happens at the FCC if the Chairman doesn't want it to happen?

Because a "change" like this would influence (and probably end) millions upon millions of lives.

I live maybe 45 minutes away from the Atlantic Ocean by car. A mega-tsunami or other catastrophic flooding event, whether manmade or otherwise, would probably kill me, my friends, my family and everyone I know if we couldn't evacuate in time. It's perfectly reasonable to be afraid of something like that.

Expand your worldview. People generally don't like it when other people die or when the status quo gets interrupted.
