> 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.
