Thank you!

-------------------------------

At the Oct 2011 Board meeting, in response to a formal request from An Tir 
and a substantial amount of related correspondence from our membership, we 
committed to crafting proposed language to allow same-gender consorts at the 
Crown/Coronet List level to send out for commentary. This topic is clearly 
emotionally charged for many people, whether for or against the change. We 
do not have clear direction from a majority of participants based on either 
the Census data or the correspondence received to date.




The Board therefore solicits commentary on the following potential language 
change to its governing documents in hopes of eliciting commentary and 
direction from the membership:

Current language:
Each competitor in a Royal Lists must be fighting for a consort of the 
opposite gender.

Proposed Language:
Each competitor in a Royal Lists must be fighting for a consort of the 
opposite gender.  Crowns may permit entry into the Royal Lists by 
same-gender couples.

Comments on this proposal are due by April 1, 2012.
Please use the title "Same-Gender Consort Proposal" in the Subject line.
