Comments regarding the proposed NYS COE should be sent to the individual members of New York State Home Inspection Council, http://www.dos.state.ny.us/lcns/homeinspectioncouncil.htm and to attorney Whitney Clark at the New York State DOS.
According to those in the know, a massive paper campaign will not be successful because no one will spend the time to tally the results. Rather, the recommended approach is to conduct a poll which will reasonably delineate home inspectors opinions regarding specific issues in the COE. The results of the poll would then be shared with the parties as described above.
