How about this; None of the clubs I belong to have applied, so I am here, where an AMA rep and others have posted numerous times that "plenty" of clubs have been, and are being granted exemptions.
How about this; BH and Speed could simply answer the question that was posed and supply evidence of the claims that they have made here.
Can you think of any reason that exemptions that have been granted are being kept under a veil of secrecy?

It's simple really, if for what ever reason you're not getting an answer one way then simply turn it around and ask from the opposite direction. I don't know how much simpler I could make it for you. That you read some kind of ill will in that line of thought, you may need to adjust your tinfoil helmet.
How many clubs have got any kind of exemption for altitude? Don't know, won't disclose, none of your business, what ever the reason, no definitive answer to your question. So going the other way has any club been refused an exemption and what were the reasons might give an indication if it's worth the effort. Sometimes a partial answer is all you're going to get, so try a different direction instead of whining about it. Have you even tried your district rep? Could it be your district rep is the one ignoring you. After all, your rep is the first one you're supposed to ask these type of questions of. Not many organizations disseminate the organization's business on an open form. Some organizations have none disclosure clauses that limit the type and scope of information which may be disclosed on forums like this one.
