Jothar wrote the position of the Moetzes on Weiss’s ordaining women. Here is the statement from the RCA:
In light of the opportunity created by advanced women’s learning, the Rabbinical Council of America encourages a diversity of halakhically and communally appropriate professional opportunities for learned, committed women, in the service of our collective mission to preserve and transmit our heritage. Due to our aforesaid commitment to sacred continuity, however, we cannot accept either the ordination of women or the recognition of women as members of the Orthodox rabbinate, regardless of the title.
That seems pretty clear cut, just as the Moetzes’s statement is.
