The thoughts that are causing me a little heart burn here is I can't help but think that rule was made up by the Phoenix crowd. Yet the decal doesn't say Phoenix 86, I understand it says Arizona 86. To be honest it doesn't make sense.
p.s. I don't want a decal and wouldn't put it on my car if I had one but that doesn't change the fact that some people decided to put themselves in charge of making this decision and I'm guessing it wasn't voted on by the 'Arizona' crowd.

It's not designed to be a hard and fast rule that causes heartburn, and my personal apologies if it did. The idea behind that is to not give out ARIZ86NA decals to people we've never met before who then go and do something that reflects poorly on the community as a whole (@whaap, I know you are not such a person). Obviously people not in Phoenix are going to have a more difficult time meeting regularly. There should be a stock of decals given to regular members in Tucson very soon.
In the big scheme of things is it a bit petty? Probably, but I think of having a community decal on the windshield as a responsibility to represent that community as best I can, and I would like to know that others feel the same way.
As for the decision being unilateral, that's due to the efforts of a number of people who stepped up to make this happen, and I can appreciate how difficult (impossible actually) it would have been to take everyone's desires into account during that process. In the end we have something that can be a positive for our growing community of 86 owners.
