I raised this issue with the BOD a few weeks ago because of this very
instance.  The decision on Jafar was to posthumously award his Ducal rank,
which required a waiving of the completion clause in Corpora.   It was not
a decision on the completion clause itself.  We have seen the completion
clause waived and upheld several times over the last 5 years on a case by
case bases.  I think that given this circumstance that if a ruling
Crown/Coronet were to be called up to active duty and had completed at
least 50% of their reign then the rule should be waived.  But is they have
not completed 50% of their reign as Crown/Coronet then the rule should be
upheld as they have (through no fault of their own) not really served the
Kingdom (Principality) or the populace.   Just my 2.8 cents worth.
