What's the point? OO followers/members don't care about these gedolim and no one that follows these gedolim ever cared about OO either. Seems like a waste of breath.
This is an attempt to get the OU on board.
The OU constituents and shuls still welcome the open conservadox into their shuls.
I can't really figure out how the OU is a respected hashgacha amongst torah Jewry, while the leadership if way off the deep left end.. Noone seems to care or notice.
Maybe it is a compartmentalized organization?
