Oh man, please, let's not go over this topic again for like the third
time in the last twelve months.  I've got *way* too much stuff to do

It's in the BSO constitutions, at least the ones that exist and were
actually run by the Crown, which requirement IS in Corpora.

We're working on compiling the BSO constitutions into a single
