That's the way I read it, too. 

I'm aware of why the change is being suggested, but I don't think it's necessary. Furthermore, it doesn't resolve the problem; merely shifts it to a two-year issue instead of a one-year issue.

I don't think it would negatively impact AEthelmearc's crown list size, certainly not by itself, but I do think it's like killing a fly with a sledgehammer.

Subject: [SCA-AE] Change in Corpora Proposed

Hello,

Since this ws brought up on Grand Council, I'm bringing it up here.  
The Board has proposedca change to Corpora:

Please note that the following proposed change has been previously  
discussed
in a variety of forms, but is now being distributed for commentary.

The Board of Directors would like commentary on the proposed change to
Corpora:


Section IV A 2

From:

2. Each competitor and prospective consort must hold a valid  
membership on
the day of the Royal Lists, and must maintain that membership until  
their
term of Royalty is over. Positive confirmation that the Registry has
processed the membership application is required before anyone may  
fight or
be fought for in a Royal List. Positive confirmation consists of a valid
membership card, appearance of the name with a valid membership on a
printout from the Corporate Office, a membership label issued by the
Corporate Office showing the name and expiration date, or a postcard or
letter from the Corporate Office confirming that the membership has been
received.

processed the membership application*****and that it is valid through  
the
end of their prospective reign ****** is required before anyone may

valid
membership card, appearance of the name with a valid membership on a
printout from the Corporate Office, a membership label issued by the
Corporate Office showing the name and expiration date, *****receipt of
online membership (as downloaded from the renewal website)*****,* *or a
postcard or letter from the Corporate Office confirming that the  
membership
has been received.

If this is passed, a member of GC points out, it will mean that an  
entrant in a September Crown in Aethelmearc will need a two-year  
membership, beginning on or about September 1st of the year the Crown  
is fought and continuing through the middle to end of September the  
year following.  At least that's how I & others read it.

Thus a question:  what impact would this change to Corpora have on the  
populace of Aethelmearc, or more directly, those possible entrants in  
Crown?
