How can they be considered rogues? The RCA leadership is not required to take a membership vote on every action they take on behalf of the organization. The membership explicitly authorizes them to speak on the organization’s behalf on their own judgement. Hence this statement on behalf of the organiztion is no more rogue than their other recent statement condemning the mach’o in Manhattan against the Israeli draft that Rav Elya Ber and other Gedolim attended. That statement also did not entail a membership vote. To consider this rogue, you’d have to consider everything they’ve done rogue.

But if you are to be correct that they are rogue, it means they will be immediately dismissed from their leadership positions due to their rogue actions being mevaze a Talmid Chochom and Godol HaDor. In the absence of such a dismissal, the implicit understanding is that their actions were not rogue and are accepted by the membership. Time will tell which of the two possibilities is correct, and the answer will not be long in coming.
