What it means is that the channel will be dominated with "personal"
Winlink Pactor-III traffic, completely filling it up, with no sharing,
or any space left for truly narrowband modes like PSK31 - all in the
name of emergency communications. It has proven impossible for a
Pactor-III ARQ station (one side is ALWAYS unattended) to share with any
other services that already have priority, just as they do not share
with other radio amateur communications, because they do not listen first.
The 99% of hams that do not use Winlink will have that 60m channel taken
away from them.

It seems odd to me too Rick.
However, i do note...
means of on-off keying (emission designator 150HA1A) continues to be
used by amateur stations because
of its reliability in difficult propagation conditions. ARRL also
states that the other requested emission
designators – 60H0J2B (which is generally known as PSK31) and 2K80J2D
(which is generally known as
PACTOR-III) – are popular narrowband data modes.16 We propose to add
these three emission
designators, which would allow four permissible emission types to be
used in the 60 meter band. We
propose to permit any additional modulation techniques that we adopt
to be used on all assigned
frequencies within the 60 meter band, including the assigned frequency
5368 kHz in the event that we do
not adopt our proposal to replace the assigned frequency 5368 kHz with
5358.5 kHz"
PSK31 would be welcome.

This just makes no sense to me why you would push Pactor III on a
channelized frequency setting..
