I am surprised that any local folks would have the audacity to set stiffer 
restrictions than those imposed by the corporation itself. I am also  of the 
opinion that such  'rules' are unethical' and questionable. Have you 
approached your omsbudman about this? Control freaks are just as abhorrant to 
a well run  organization as anarchists. It is my understanding that  policies 
set by the Board encompass the entire SCA (USA) which is why the Boasrd is 
reticent to make 'official' rulings without much thought and  research.

Anyway pardon the strong tone, I ma just curious as to why people allow 
themselves to be controled to such an extent when the lawyers for the  
Corporation have already ;looked into the matter and came up with  the rules 
that were legally  OK.
